SPECIAL NOTES:

When high school trips turn deadly - and wipe out Generations

Skeem Saam hit the No. 2 spot the night after Alfred (Putla Sehlapelo) discovered the remains of the high schooler who was killed by a lion. 

This isn't the first time that Skeem Saam's taken the No. 2 spot from Gen. but hitting 9-million viewers is a record for the show.

Access viewers prove the power in their numbers

Notice how viewership for The Queen and Gomora has calmed down by over a million viewers each since the heady heights of Gomora's 2.-5-million viewers in April versus this month's dramatic contrast with Uyajalo's 2.5-million.

This is because Mzansi Magic was available to Family and Access viewers in April but this stopped in May whereas the Family package (which has Moja Love) was still available to Access through May.

The Family channels will be Accessible until 14 June.

Also interesting to note is that Premium channels were available to Compact viewers in May but not one of the Premium channels made the Top 30 list.

Hi everyone - a heads-up that we've changed the setting on the PDF so it's now available as per usual. Apologies - we set it to the incorrect setting.
