Special Notes
Uzalo became the second show in SA history to reach 8-million viewers on Monday, 24 August when it hit 8,032,000 viewers. Generations reached these numbers before the
actor strike fiasco in 2014.
Notice how Coke Studio bombed on e.tv on Monday 24 August with 296,000 viewers. It was sandwiched between Gold Diggers (1,580,000) and Umlilo (1,383,000), meaning e.tv's audience departed wholesale after Gold Diggers and returned with almost the same amount who left for Umlilo. Now that's a Coke bomb!
