Wow skeem saaam keeps growing higher n higher .generations still doing well .enews primetime is dying a slow death cz of that timeslot .

What an improvement by Skeem Saam. Scandal and Generations doing pretty well. The dustbin man is back and Scandal does better. Well, all my favourite shows are not doing bad at the moment.

Could it be that by Week 18 Skeem Saam would be number One? I think so, judging by the rate at which its viewership is growing.

It seems the 7pm timeslot worked for RC but not for their eNews. I llove that Scandal and Umlilo are doing well. Soon Muvhango will reach that 5mil

Generations just keeps on slaying, well done skeem saam. Thandekas diary's improvement wow.

skeemsaam is doing well and I think the success emanates from the reality tv element of the production. im worried about isibaya, I think my favourite show ""uzalo"" is actually isibayas coffin

I think if moved to the 19:30 slot Skeem Saam would easily surpass the 6 million mark

Wow well done to Skeem Sam, Muvhango and Uzalo.  I thought Umlilo and Ashes would be doing better than this.
Moving the etv prime time news to 20h30 was a bad move shame.

@kem moc I agree with if skeem saam is moved to 19h30 it will definately become the number 1 soapie in the country.

Show-Time

max85, I doubt it would be that simple. At 18:30 it virtually has no competition that is why its viewership increased rapidly. But at 19:30 there is Scandal which is doing well.

This Show-Time guy is talking bull.. When Skeem Saam came onto the scene Rhythm City ruled the 18:30 slot, Isidingo was even moved to the 19:00 slot because of it. I love Scandal to bits mara Skeem Saam will have it slaughtered if moved to that slot... And remember R.C had a bigger audience.
