Telemundo International to launch channel in Africa

July 4, 2013 by Veronica Villafañe

Starting Monday, August 12, Telemundo telenovelas will be seen in Africa.  The Telemundo channel in Africa, part of the Universal Networks International portfolio, will reach 48 countries throughout the continent on a digital pay-TV satellite platform.

The African launch is a major milestone for the channel. It’s the first time the pay-TV Telemundo branded service will be available outside of Latin America.

"La Patrona" is one of Telemundos original telenovelas, starring Christian Back, Araceli Arámbula and Jorge Pila.
