The new year's almost with us and with it come major schedule disruptions to the SABC channels.
Because there's still no sign of the promised SABC Sports channel, SABC1 will be the main broadcast channel of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. The tournament takes place in South Africa from 19 January to 10 February and will be the dominant event on the SABC1 schedule.
Many of the channel's flagship daily shows will be moving to SABC2 to avoid disruption for the duration of the tournament, specifically the soapies and news bulletins.
These are the shows that are moving, with their broadcast times:
| 17h45 |
Siswati/Ndebele News Bulletin |
| 18h00 |
The Bold & The Beautiful |
| 19h30 |
Xhosa/Zulu News Bulletin |
| 20h00 |
Generations |
| 20h30 |
Zone 14 (On Mondays and Wednesdays) |
This is what the daily SABC2 primetime schedule will look like as a result:
| 17h45 |
Siswati/Ndebele News Bulletin |
| 18h00 |
The Bold & The Beautiful |
| 18h30 |
7de Laan |
| 19h00 |
Afrikaans News Bulletin |
| 19h30 |
Xhosa/Zulu News Bulletin |
| 20h00 |
Generations |

Changing daily shows:
Zone 14 - Mondays
Mponeng - Tuesdays
Zone 14 - Wednesdays
Speak Out - Thursdays
Lesilo Rula - Fridays |

This daily schedule switch begins on Monday, 21 January and runs until the end of the Cup.
