Host Penny Lebyane.

 
SABC2's popular talker Motswako goes through a dramatic schedule shift in May: the show changes times from Monday nights at 21h30 to Wednesdays at 18h00.

Word from the SABC2 is that the channel feels that 18h00 is a more suited time for it as opposed to the later night time that it's occupied for years. The channel decided to make the move as part of the new on-air look that launched in March this year.

Motswako will air at it's new time as from Wednesday, 8 May and the Monday night movies will take over its former spot, starting at 21h30 instead of 22h00.

Motswako's already the most watched talk show in the country - it's the only talker that attracts over a million viewers weekly. What impact will the move have on the ratings? Is it guaranteed to push viewership up?

Is 18h00 a better time for you or not?

SABC again! They thought Top Billing, RGB will do great if they moved them to other times but they were wrong and I think even here we're witnessing yet another stupid decision.

We all know that both the above mentioned shows are back to their 'original' time slot, after failing dismally in other slots.

Hey everyone ... a headsup that SABC2's just changed the date of the first 18h00 broadcast from 1 May to 8 May. We've updated in the story.

This is the worst decision ever, by 18:00 hrs most of us are not home as yet and we will not be able to watch it.
