News Shorts - Bah!

BAH! MultiChoice distances itself from MacG ousting by neither confirming nor denying that his podcasts are off DStv. They're passing the buck to a company called Leading Edge Growth and say they're "responsible for curating the podcast slate," - the same company who told Sunday Times that MacG's off DStv. See comments for MultiChoice's lame response to our query >>

BAH! The King David Studio Podcast that was supposed to premiere on SABC2 on Monday 5 May isn't starting anymore. We'll let you know if it does.

BAH! Season 3 of boring and fake reality low Listing Cape Town premieres on BBC Lifestyle on Wednesday 28 May at 20h00. We can't even watch the promos let alone the actual show.

BAH! Mzansi Magic airs more sloppy seconds in February. A run of 1Magic telenovela 1802:Love Defies Time replaces Champions on Monday 3 February. Starts with an hour long episode from 18h30 to 19h30 (The River moves to 18h00) and airs at 19h00 from Mondays to Wednesdays thereafter. Mzansi Wethu's Pastor Wants a Wife 3 and Wang'kolota 3 air on Thursdays and Fridays at 19h00. Where did Mzansi Magic go?!

BAH! SuperSport eventually gets it together and starts airing the 2024 women's Big Bash cricket tournament - 34 games into it! Too late for us to see South Africa's Lizelle Lee setting a T20 world record by hitting 12 sixes in one game on 10 November. She also set the record for the highest ever individual score in the Big Bash league with 150 runs off 75 balls.

BAH! Not-so-SuperSport bangs on about being "Here for Her" but they aren't broadcasting the women's Big Bash cricket tournament currently happening in Australia. It was the first T20 event for women when it began and features players from round the world, including South Africa. If SuperSport were really here for her they'd be showing it! They have in the past.

BAH! SABC and Word of Mouth Pictures deliver more fake news about Muvhango by stating the new season would start on Monday 5 August - when it didn't. Now they say it's 12 August. We'll believe it when we see it. Total Amateur Hour!
Comments | 06 Aug 2024 11:24
BAH! SABC starts a re-run of Muvhango from Episode 1 on Wednesday 3 July as a cover-up to the show's shut down. No mention of what's happened, instead they're saying it's to "celebrate 30 Years of Democracy." >>

BAH! Action drama miniseries The Sympathizer isn't starting on M-Net anymore in a sudden last minute change. Was supposed to start Monday 3 June but it's been ripped with no explanation nor alternative premiere date.

BAH! Three of the shows that start in S3's "new" BBC Primetime slot in its first week (1 - 3 May) have already aired on the channel. Luther Season 1 in 2012, Live at the Apollo 13 in 2021 and Top Gear: Africa Special in 2017. No, just NO.

BAH! Mzansi Wethu's announcement about Sibongile & The Dlamini's averaging over 2-million viewers in the past month with a high of 2,688,338 was misleading. It wasn't referring to a "per episode" viewership. Apparently it referred to what happened in one particular week, which is also very confusing. It's currently still under 2-million viewers per episode. We thought the jump from March was unrealistically extreme. We've removed the previous News Short so as to avoid misinformation.

BAH! Updated at 19h26 on Friday 1 December: SABC+ available again on domain www.sabc-plus.com after this news from the morning >> SABC+ unavailable on Friday 1 December as SABC migrates it to another technology system. Let's not forget that they rebranded TelkomONE as their "new system" just over a year ago. Now there's another new system apparently. According to the presser, the downtime "should not be more than 48hours." >>

BAH! A repeat of New Zealand rugby high school drama Head High replaces Giyani once it ends on SABC2 on 5 November. Head High aired on S3 in 2022.

BAH! DStv's so-called Delicious Festival turns into a tasteless fiasco, with fake tickets, traffic jams, long ques for entry, food and drinks, and breathless announcements by DStv. You know things are bad when an event needs an Emergency Hotline >>

BAH! OK, we've had enough of this now. These changes are out of control and wasting time! S3's changing their 19h00 timeslot AGAIN. They've pulled The Estate Rewind until 17 June. The Family Secrets repeat now starts on Monday 25 April at 19h00. Or so they say. We'll only believe when it we see it.
Comments | 22 Apr 2022 18:04
BAH! SABC1's Family Secrets delivers low blow to Jamie Bartlett by misspelling his name in the opening credits of Season 2. Disrespectful, sloppy and unprofessional. Hopefully he has an agent who cares enough to do something about it!

BAH! BBC to air unseen Top Gear material featuring Jeremy Clarkson.
