TV viewership plummets in South Africa

There has been a substantial decline in the number of people watching the most popular TV shows and other programmes in South Africa through traditional linear TV broadcasting.

That is according to MyBroadband's analysis of the Broadcasting Research Council of South Africa's (BRCSA's) Television Audience Measurement Surveys.

SABC is following a trend as seen overseas most people prefer using the internet nowadays. SABC+ is doing well but I don't use it or have any interest either way.

Government has been to slow in trying to save SABC now it could as well reach a point where they're reliant on Netflix and Showmax for survival. In America, it is estimated that about 70% of TV households would opt for streaming in the coming years.

So doesn't apply to those watching TV through non-linear options, such as DStv's catch-up services and recording options?

I guess I’m super out of the loop.

I was not aware of this:

S3 (previously SABC 3) recorded a viewership increase of 18.2%.

The only S3 I know is Audi-related.

Nope. What about all the series you watch that has a "season 3" ?

when TV stations and traditional media hasnt adapted to the new internet based stuff, this is what you get,
I'm surprised newspapers you buy at the PNP still exist.

But they have adapted to it, all of them. Only eVOD (eMedia) doesn't do the complete job - e.g. it doesn't offer its eMovie channels via streaming. (Mostly 'cos they want to push their satellite service.)

I'm surprised newspapers you buy at the PNP still exist.

We're not like the first world in Africa, mostly.
Too many still without the net or just have very basic use of it. And too many differences in culture & interests.

same here, I still remember when SABC 3 was called three or TV three or some variation of that,
every few years they decide to rename things, guess the ANC is strong at the SABC.
