Top Shows on TV: December 2020
Special notes
Viewership for 2019's Miss World and Miss South Africa was almost exactly the same.
The viewership for Miss South Africa was 471,906 viewers when it aired on Mzansi Magic
in August.
Just over 7,500 viewers more than Miss World's 464,189 viewers on SABC3.
Miss Universe, which aired on 1Magic on 9 December, must have had under 369,473 viewers because it's a no-show in DStv's Top 30.
What does it mean? Viewers
aren't flocking to watch pageants on TV.
