What is the viewership for America's Next Top Model? The show has more drama than any soap I know.

>>What is the viewership for America's Next Top Model?<<

America's Next Top Model wasn't on that week because of the Champions' League, but in Week 42 it attracted 1,235,00 viewers.

Out of curiosity, how many viewerships does Big brother attract in RSA? What about the other African countries?

On top Actuality shows
Special assignment has upped their viewership. Wonder what they discussed on the week under review. 3rd degree has lost out.

Top magazine shows.
They are almost neck and neck, only Pasella and countdown seem to have an edge on other shows in this category.

Top soap operas
What can I say, nothing. At least they all have over million plus viewership.

Top talk shows
Asikhulume has won this category on the week under review. With the economy so hectic there must be a lot of people who have decided to sacrifice on their social life. How come interface is low on viewership? Is it because they only speak English? 3 talk and Oprah who is it aimed at? Is males or females?

We only get figures for the non-DSTV channels, so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

>>as ANTM was not on that week what was the viewership for UEFA?<<

1,119,000
The match was probably either Fenerbahce vs Arsenal or Manchester United vs Celtic, but I'm not sure which match e.tv showed.
