New 5fm & SABC3 Entertainment Show

Written by Cheesa from the blog Cheesa Chat on 01 Feb 2011

There’s a new entertainment and lifestyle show coming up on SABC3 on 4 February at 19:30pm. They are promising to bring us more entertainment news, music, gossip, cover hot events, tours, best parties, latest fashions and gigs in SA and abroad. They are also promising to show us a sneak peak into the lives of some of the biggest DJ’s and presenters. I am not sure about this show’s new name but for now it’s called TV5 it is a partnership between 5FM and SABC 3. This show will be hosted by Grant Nash and Anele Mdoda who are already co-hosts of 5FM’s midday show. 


But it seems like they are not going to be the only presenters of the show because SABC3 and 5FM are promising to feature all 5FM DJ’s as hosts/presenters of this show. I think maybe they will take turns in presenting the show because I can’t imagine all 5FM DJ’s doing the show all together at once or maybe every DJ will have their insert. I don’t know whether Anele Mdoda will still remain as part of Top Billing or she will present in both TV5 and Top Billing. 


5FM’s popular features will be done on TV5. If you are a 5FM listener you might know these features like Gareth Cliff’s News to Use or Lose feature, the Tyren’s Top 5 that always feature on Dj Fresh’s show and 5FM DJs who do the Power Nights shows will present their top 5 tracks every week. This means Euphonik, Dj Fresh, C-live, Bongi and Jon Savage will also do some presenting in this show. 

Thomas Msengane will also be on TV5 as the sports guy. Things are looking good for the Msenganes first it was wife Unathi bagged Idols now hubby gets to be seen back on our screens after how many years since Woza Weekend. 


This is exciting even though I am trying to figure how they are going to feature all the presenters and how the show will be like. But I am excited about this as there are some shows that I enjoy on 5FM and the fact that SABC3 will now have an entertainment show that’s going to cover every aspect of the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world. 

I hope this TV5 show will top SABC3’s former entertainment and lifestyle show Flash, which disappeared after they promised a new season. I am not sure whether the show is going to be an hour long or just half an hour. I think it should be an hour because it seems there’s a lot that they want to show. Half an hour will not be enough. I also hope TV5 will accommodate everyone not just a certain market. 


TV5 will be in competition with etv’s popular music show Club808. I want to see if people will ditch Club808 for TV5 since Club808 is the show that is making LIVE producers sweat. I am sure they are glad Club808 plays at 19:30pm not 21:00pm as LIVE. 

So are you excited about this new show that SABC3 and 5FM are bringing us? What do you expect or what do you think they show should do different from other entertainment shows that you know?

She is on Top Billing now?

When I read the article last week Friday, the first thing that came to my mind was, what a stupid name. Otherwise the idea is a great idea but the name is very stupid if you asked me chomi.

I think it should be an hour because it seems there’s a lot that they want to show. Half an hour will not be enough.

But will ETV viewers who watch Club 808 give up on it and switch to TV3, eish TV5? But I think competition is good and it keeps everyone on their toes.

I also hope TV5 will accommodate everyone not just a certain market.
Accomodating everyone will be self-suicide. The show must have a target audience. If Thomas will present, boxing, wrestling, cricket, soccer, rugby, karate etc etc, then the show will lose form and viewers.

TV5 will be in competition with etv’s popular music show Club808. I want to see if people will ditch Club808 for TV5 since Club808 is the show that is making LIVE producers sweat. I am sure they are glad Club808 plays at 19:30pm not 21:00pm as LIVE. 

Because of the structure of TV5, I do not think they will give will be a real threat to Club 808.

So are you excited about this new show that SABC3 and 5FM are bringing us?
I am not really excited, for me this is like any other show that still has to prove itself and convince me that it's worth my 30 minutes or 1 hours.

It sure sounds exciting , I just hope they wont have 5 presenters to match the name of the show because that will make it a bit immature  . Either than that im looking forward to it .

I think the idea is cool but it should be on another channel not SABC3.

It seems SABC3 has too many of the same type of shows. They have more than enough shows that showcase the entertainement scene, travel, parties, etc. SABC1 is also doing the same thing.

Since Makitso complained about SABC2 not having enough entertaining shows, the show could move there.

Big Ups to all the people at 5FM, all the best. I believe this is Anele's season & she must grab all these opportunities.

I am a 5FM fan through and through. I've been listening to 5 since my school days (pre 2000). It is the only radio station I listen to. And their parties will never disappoint. So I am really looking forward to the new show. It will also be nice to see our favourite radio dj's in action. Very excited!

Pleasure Zam. Let's hope they won't disappoint Mem and Boodah. Makisto the fact that they play at the same time might be a threat enough for Club808 coz its also an entertainment and they will also be playing music and more. Unless their content is pap then they won't be a threat. By accommodating everyone I didn't mean they should talk about all types of sports. Its not a sports show after all its an entertainment. I meant since SABC3 is more of an English channel they must not only show international news and stuff some Mzansi vibe would be great. I'm not saying they must be SABC1. Yes Anele is on Top Billing am not sure if she's a permant Top Billing presenter or she's freelancing. I also don't like the name of the show its just stupid I'm sorry its not catchy or brings that excitement until you read what the show is about. It seems SABC3 has too many of the same type of shows. They have more than enough shows that showcase the entertainement scene, travel, parties, etc. SABC1 is also doing the same thing... What are those shows Pruluv? I only know Top Billing. I thought Top Travel ended a while ago and A-List.
