Special interest notes

Please note that we've re-categorised the primary genres of Zaziwa and Selimathunzi to talk and magazine show respectively.

Zaziwa's primary genre used to be music and Selimathunzi's used to be variety. Their secondary genres were talk and magazine show which meant that they weren't included in the Top 5 lists.

After careful consideration we've re-categorised them as we feel it's a more accurate reflection of what they are.

Z'bondiwe is doing very well, a pity ive never watched it. It plays too late. I love Matatiel, im surprised it never makes a break through here. Sabc 3 is in trouble hey, Bonang was going on twitter about how their show has over a million viewers. Where is it here..........

The Bold and the Beautiful, astonishing!! My plea is Isidingo to move to 21:30 slot. I think that is ideal.

I am really enjoying matatiele and z'bondiwe on etv .top of the class local dramas indeed .isidingo is constantly under one million ,which is troubling indeed .

Big up to etv with their new dramas. They got a share even in the most difficult time slots. A2A v Gen. Umlilol/Matatiele v Muvhango. They still did well considering all that.

Etv also beat Isidingo on that 7pm slot with RC. Thought they wouldn't but they winning it. Scandal yona has been great and the ratings reflect that.
