When South Africa's satellite competition starts in all earnest towards the middle of this year, they'll be introducing another South African TV first in the form of a local, daily, late night talk show - something the country has never had before.
Telkom Media, who should start with their satellite TV offering in June, is planning a daily late night talk show on one of it's local entertainment channels.
Although the original brief to interested producers suggested Telkom Media was looking for a late night talk show that would air once a week, the satellite broadcaster had to clarify the brief to inform production companies that they're looking for a production company who could put up a show not once a week, but indeed every weeknight from Monday to Thursday - similar to a Jay Leno and David Letterman in America.
Telkom Media plans to contact the shortlisted producers for the late night talker by 7 April. The late night show could be half an hour or an hour depending on the content.
