By Ahmed Rahma
As part of its commitment to delivering relevant and exciting programs to African viewers, a pay television channel focused on movies, TNT Africa, will be introducing its 2021 channel refresh packed with interesting shows and content to keep its audience entertained on February 1, 2021.
TNT Africa will also continue to launch their exclusive, brand-new, TNT Original Movies on the channel on the first Thursday of every month. These include a wide range of mainstream entertainment genres, featuring renowned, and rising international stars.
The month of February is expected to kick off with Straight Up, a romantic movie from writer, director and star James Sweeney.
As part of the refresh, TNT Africa will debut AEW DYNAMITE, the weekly flagship show from All Elite Wrestling, the new professional wrestling league that is taking the world by storm.
The launch kicks off on Friday, February 5 at 13h20 (CAT) with the first five episodes of the new season.
Then, every Friday night, during prime time at 20h00 (CAT), the channel is expected to premiere the recent high-octane matches, two days after the US premiere, and after that repeated twice throughout the week.
The television channel also has an exciting line-up of the very best action-driven, pulse-raising slate, mixed with romantic gems and hilarious comedies including titles like Splash and the Best Man Holiday to experience the accidental side of love on Valentine’s Day; great channel premiers such as Crank High Voltage and Point Break in February’s Adrenaline Rush stunt; Malcolm X and Just Cause will help us fight for our rights on Human Rights Day, and in April you can celebrate the Oscars with Academy Award-winning titles such as E.T and Gladiator.
Commenting, Guillermo Farré, Head of the WarnerMedia General Entertainment channels across France, Iberia and Africa, said “TNT is excited to usher in a new era in entertainment that is attuned to our audience needs and appetite.
“Despite how far we’ve come, we remain steadfastly dedicated to giving our African audience premium content, and the launch of AEW DYNAMITE and the channel refresh bear testament of this.”

Press Play on Nostalgia: Papa Ajasco, Superstory and More Return on GOtv
There was a time when Sunday evenings meant one thing: everyone gathered in the living room, eyes glued to the TV, waiting for Superstory to begin. It wasn’t just another show, it was a ritual. Phones were put aside, dinner was timed perfectly, and conversations paused the moment that familiar theme song came on. For many families, it became a tradition, a shared experience that brought laughter, suspense, and lessons that lingered long after the credits rolled.
That same feeling, that warm wave of nostalgia, is exactly what WAP TV is keeping alive.
With a lineup of timeless classics like Superstory, Akpan and Oduma, Ikebe Super, Papa Ajasco and Company, and Turtle Taido Game Show, the channel isn’t just airing old content, it’s reopening a window into moments that defined childhood for so many Nigerians. These are the shows that shaped humour, created inside jokes, and introduced characters that felt like extended family.
Papa Ajasco and Company gave us exaggerated comedy that somehow always reflected real-life situations, while Akpan and Oduma delivered a unique blend of streetwise humour and unforgettable chemistry. Ikebe Super pushed boundaries with its bold, comedic storytelling, and Turtle Taido Game Show brought a playful, competitive energy that had everyone shouting answers from their seats at home.
But beyond the laughter, what makes these shows special is the feeling they carry. Watching them again isn’t just entertainment, it’s memory. It’s being transported back to simpler times, when the biggest decision was where to sit in the living room and who controlled the remote.
In a world where content moves fast and trends change even faster, there’s something comforting about returning to the stories that once brought everyone together. WAP TV understands that nostalgia isn’t just about the past, it’s about connection. And by bringing these classics back to our screens, they’re giving a new generation a chance to experience that same magic, while reminding others of where it all started.
To catch up with all these shows and more, tune in to WAP TV on GOtv Channel 129, where the memories live on and the laughter never really leaves.

Heartbeat Finale: Who Found Love, Who Lost It, and Who Almost Had It
From day one in the Love Pad, Heartbeat gave us everything; instant attractions, messy triangles, soft moments, hot arguments, and connections that kept switching lanes when we least expected them. Now, after all the chaos, the final episode came down to one thing: who is actually ready to choose love for real?
If you remember how it all started, Kena and Chidera were one of the first “locked-in” connections. Even when new singles walked in, and Kena became the house favourite, Chidera made it clear, not on her watch. From the roses’ apology to that whole Jane situation that had Chidera raging, their bond was constantly tested. But the finale didn’t care about history. It came with real questions about compatibility, intentions, and life outside the Love Pad. At that point, it was no longer about feelings, it was about alignment.
Then there’s Ken and Latifah. If there’s any couple that defined chaos this season, it’s them. From cuddling like nothing happened after fights, to the dinner date drama, to that moment he lied about production setting things up (we have not forgotten), these two gave us a full rollercoaster. Even when Ken tried to “fix things” with breakfast in bed, the trust had already taken hits. So when it came down to the final decision, the real question was: was this love, or just something they kept going back to?
Igwe and Shekinah? Still one of the most confusing dynamics in the house. From flirting, to tension, to Shekinah defending him when everyone said he was playing games, to the moment she found out he had written letters to multiple women, it was always something. Even when he tried to reassure her, there was always that small doubt. So when the finale tests came in, it was time to see if what they had was actually solid or just vibes.
And let’s not forget how everything shifted when the new singles entered. From Ceeoni’s unexpected revelation that she and Henry were exes, to Jane boldly saying she was still coming for Kena, to Victory, Timi, Sharon and Bosa all bringing new energy, the house never stayed the same. Some connections grew stronger under pressure, others didn’t survive it.
But the finale? That’s where everything got real.
The couples were put through final compatibility tests, not just games, but moments that forced them to answer difficult questions about trust, commitment, and how well they actually know each other. Some couples faced these moments together, standing strong and showing they were on the same page. Others? The cracks showed, and certain decisions had to be made individually, which said a lot without saying too much.
But when it was time for the final decision, Heartbeat didn’t hold back. The couples were first hit with a lie detector test, and that alone shook the entire Love Pad. Chidera and Kena had to face some hard truths when Kena said he had never thought about breaking up with her, only for the machine to call it false. He also admitted he still misses his ex, and that came out true. On the other side, Ceeoni and Alvin also had their moment when she confirmed she had a child outside the Love Pad, something that instantly shifted the energy between them. After all that, emotions were high, but the show didn’t slow down.
At the Heartbeat Commitment, the real verdicts came in. Kena and Chidera still chose each other despite everything. Igwe and Shekinah are locked in and are ready to see where things go, while Bosah and Hilda, Ken and Latifah, and Victory and Toria have also decided to continue their connections outside the house. The only pair that didn’t commit was Alvin and Ceeoni, who made it clear they’re not there yet. With earlier exits like Jane, Timi, Sharon and Henri, not everyone made it to this stage, but by the end, it was clear who came for vibes and who was actually ready for something real.
Heartbeat may be over, but the drama, the debates, and the “did they really make the right choice?” moments are far from done. The finale gave us truths, tears, and tough decisions, but it also left us asking: what happens next for these couples outside the Love Pad?
If you’re not ready to let go of the chaos, there’s still plenty to keep you hooked. From the twists in Wura, to the high-stakes drama of Dividends, and the unfiltered excitement of Stripped, your screen is far from quiet.
