TOLDJA! SABC1 announces a reloaded schedule from October with Bold and local magazine shows swapping timeslots.


SABC1 just officially announced what TV with Thinus readers already knew, and found out exclusively almost a week ago already RIGHT HERE - that the SABC1 schedule is changing from October with The Bold and the Beautiful moving to 18:30 and all the local magazine shows moving to 18:00 - as well as other programming changes.

''Come October, SABC1 will introduce to its viewers a new schedule compliment that will see major changes affecting titles sitting in the 18:00 and 18:30 timeslots,'' says SABC1.

''These changes are part of the channel's Reloaded Campaign introduced in August 2010. Several of our shows which have already been affected by this exciting process of refreshing and revitalizing include the following: Live, RGB, Selimathunzi, Jam Alley, and Seskhona,'' says Vukile Madlala, SABC1 publicity manager.

''It represents our commitment to remain competitive in this ever-changing television landscape, says Vukile Madlala. ''Our focus is at ensuring that the brand maintains its position as the torch-bearer and trend-setter.''

The Bold and the Beautiful will move to 18:30 from the first week of October. Dance Your Butt Off - exactly as I said would happen - is moving to Saturdays at 17:30 on SABC1 from October. As I broke the news, the celebrity magazine show RGB will move to Tuesdays at 19:00. Mzansi Insider, Selimathunzi, Seskhona and Jam Alley will all go out on weekdays at 18:00.
