I see the SABC English news are above the 1mil mark but they still have a tall hill to climb compared to eTV news. Is there a category for music shows because to me  "Top Magazine shows" seems to be a mixture of everything. 50/50 and Club 808 in one category????

That's for sure @Chelsea and they come here making noise about how much they hate it. Truth is, Generations is a soap, and they do what a soap should do, give us escapism, Mfundi knows what he is doing

So glad Intersexions is pulling in great numbers. The quality of the writing and the show itself is superb.

Intersections get its numbers from Generations. Watch when Gen numbers grow, it grows too. When they drop, it drops too
