As long as 7 de laan stay, I am happy, just joking

Worse than Xpresso? Or is it Espresso?

OI!!! Zoe is in there

How many home and lifestyle shows do they have? I don't think they are too desperate.

true, although for one of the regional tv stations might come in handy.
think JHB TV or Soweto TV, or something like that.

quite surprised nobody decided to offer them a lifeline, not E-TV, or Monochoice.
even strangely enough Gupta TV, nobody wanted them,

Go ahead and cancel like the one show that tv licence payers actually watch....

Watch KykNet launching a "Boonste Rekening" show in the coming months. They don't like buying up other local brands, they'll rebrand it.

"With high production values"+ SABC = ????? Compared to what? That 10 hour YouTube video of paint drying?

 

[Binary Bark]

[Dimpie (COMPUTEK)]

[eg2505]

Watched snippets of this garbage over the 23 years of this shows run, what pretentious crap. Its end could've and should've come sooner.

Just to be clear - italics = comic sans

I probably last watched anything on SABC when Riaan Cruywagen was a teenager.

How could you tell, Riaan has looked the same whether 25 or 75 ?

suprised monochoice didnt give them an offer.

They need to pay for a new building so yeah... a bit cash strapped. Going to be a hefty price increase next year.

We've got this, what's a little burnt building between sports mad Dstv subscribers, it would be like that fire never happened.

Jeannie can still get the D.

Le Bump.

This post is still very relevant.

Top Billing is not a bad show. They must get away from SABC and just start their own online YouTube channel. They have a good reputation and if they change their focus a little bit, they will do well showing SA homes. Can also connect with the real estate industry and advertise/review luxury homes on sale. I have watched one or two homes on YouTube and it was not bad. The camera quality not the best and the presenters a bit stiff some times, but they can do it. One was the Stein Palazzo and the other Beast's house. Obviously I don't watch any SABC or DSTV channels.

i never do get shows that show the 99.9% how the 0.1% live.

Old thread. SABC canned the show 2019.
