Where are the figures for SABC3 news? What could be the reason for the SABC2 news to be that low? I am talking about the Sesotho/Tswana/Sepedi News (SABC2). Even the figures for the Afrikaans news is higher than the sotho news.

Phela Cngle, these figures are what make SABC 1 bring back repeats and say "back by popular demand", and we end up wondering who's making these popular demands. But at the end of the day, this is what they have to go by. 
It's why jika ma jika, seskhona,amazing date and the likes, will all either stay on air forever, or come back for repeats!

What could be the reason for the SABC2 news to be that low? I am talking about the Sesotho/Tswana/Sepedi News (SABC2). Even the figures for the Afrikaans news is higher than the sotho news. Realist, the problem lies with the slot at which they are broadcast. At  20:30 we have already watched the 19:00 or 19:30 news on ETV, Sabc3 and Sabc1 respectively.

Phela Cngle, these figures are what make SABC 1 bring back repeats and say "back by popular demand", and we end up wondering who's making these popular demands: LOL.

>>Where are the figures for SABC3 news?<<

It's number 9 of the SABC3 list - on average 1,009,000 people watched the news during the week.

@ Citanul: Thanks for pointing that to me. I guess I was reading between lines and not in between the lines.

@LM: Point taken.
