Beat Shazam
Channel: e.tv
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Game Show, Music
Hosted by Jamie Foxx, Beat Shazam is an interactive game show in which teams of two race against the clock and each other as they attempt to identify the biggest hit songs of all time.
In the end, the team with the highest score will outlast the competition and go against Shazam, the world's most popular song identification app, for the chance to win a cash prize.
During each episode, four teams of two players go ear-to-ear for a chance to win a cash prize.
In each round, Foxx presents a choice of two music categories, ranging from '80s Favourites' to Beyoncé hits.
Teams will hear a song and try to identify its correct title before all the other teams.
As the rounds progress, quicker pairs will continue building their banks, while players with the lowest score will be eliminated until only one team remains.
That team will play man-versus-machine and attempt to Beat Shazam.
The series is executive-produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice, The Voice and Shark Tank).
Abby's
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 18h30
Genre: Comedy
From the producers of The Good Place comes an aspirational comedy about the best bar in San Diego, home to good prices, great company and, of course, Abby.
This unlicensed, makeshift bar nestled in her backyard is the opposite of everything annoying about today's party scene.
There are rules at Abby's: no cellphones (not even to "look something up"), earning a seat at the bar takes time and losing a challenge means drinking a limey, sugary "not-beer" drink.
As the oddball cast of regulars will tell you, hanging out at Abby's is a coveted honour. But once you're in, you're family.
In the series premiere, Abby's (Natalie Morales) unlicensed backyard bar hits a major snag when new landlord Bill (Nelson Franklin), who recently inherited the house from his deceased aunt, shows up and proposes major changes.

Living in haunted locations, Groff and Weidman believe the longer they stay, the more chance they have that the local spirits will communicate with them, allowing them to gather more information about the unknown.
They tackle the trauma behind a colonial manor in Massachusetts, the horror stories behind Shrewsbury Prison in England, and try to learn the truth behind a shadowy presence in the St Ignatius Hospital halls in Washington.
Using state of the art high-resolution cameras and never-before-seen paranormal technology, they collect surprising new images and sounds.
