Some of the international shows that helped establish the channel, such Lee Daniel’s Star and Atlanta will be making way for more local programming, including Vintage Z and Click, which will broadcast on the new 'Urban Thursdays'. The channel will be giving more airtime to the Turkish telenovelas in response to audience demand.
The Fox Networks Group Africa has also announced an increased investment into local content, which aims to appeal to women across the continent. The channel will also have a new logo.
Refining FoxLife has also meant that Fox Africa’s schedule has been bolstered with more premium scripted dramas. The next season of Star and Atlanta will premiere on the channel in 2018.
EMPIRE returns to Fox Africa for its fourth season and will be followed by a repeat of series one of Star, allowing audiences to view Lee Daniels’ entertainment content back to back.
Tracey Gilchrist, director of programming for Fox Networks Group Africa, says, "It is time for FoxLife to move forward. We have listened to the audience, and plan to keep super-serving you with the best content in a viewing environment that is current and fresh."
Gilchrist adds, "At the same time, we are still committed to bringing you the best first on Fox Africa, and looking forward to moving to forward stronger with both of these hugely popular channels."
