These are the primetime adult television viewing figures for March 2019.
Special Notes
The Bleh SAFTAs
1,444,894 viewers is a very lacklustre turn-out for a national awards ceremony, especially considering they attracted
over 2.2-million in 2018. They were at
1.5-million in 2017 so interest increased and then dropped by 37%.
Scandal! hits 6-million
These figures confirm
e.tv's claim that the soapie attracted 6-million viewers for the first time on 27 March for the revenge-against Mthunzi storyline.
Rhythm City gets its beat back
Notice how Rhythm City outperformed Imbewu: The Seed for the first time in months.
