WAPTV set to air new telenovela, La Hipocondriaca

The 24-hour family entertainment channel, WAPTV, has just purchased the exclusive license to air La Hipocondríaca (The Hypochondriac) telenovela to millions of viewers across Africa and Europe starting May 2016.

Produced in 2013, La Hipocondríaca is a very popular Spanish telenovela, which tells the comedic story of Macarena (played by Stephanie Cayo), a hypochondriac who strongly believes that she will die soon. Her ‘dreams’ seem to come true when Dr. Alejandro (played by Ernesto Calzadilla) misdiagnosis her with only six more months to live, when in reality she has a long, healthy life ahead of her. What will happen when both discover the truth? In a situation like this, the best cure is love.

According to the MD of WAPTV, Mr. Wole Adenuga, “La Hipocondríaca telenovela will air by 9:00 – 9:30pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday; with repeat broadcast at 2:00 – 2:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Viewers sure have a lot to look forward to; and coupled with WAPTV’s extensive coverage area, this is surely an excellent opportunity for advertisers to reach their target audience and promote their products and services to enhance customer retention and increase market share”.

The multiple-award-winning WAPTV is available on StarTimes Channel 116, StarSat Channel 189, Consat Channel 812 and MyTV; across Nigeria and several African nations, including Ghana, South Africa, Kenya etc; as well as numerous European regions, including UK, Germany, France and others.
