Top Shows on TV: June 2020
SPECIAL NOTES:
Back-to-work impacts on heady heights
Notice how the record viewership of Lockdown Levels 4 and 5 (March to May) disappeared for shows in June as the majority of South Africans returned to work for Level 3 on Monday, 1 June.
Uzalo returned with new episodes on Monday, 15 June with a dramatic anti-climax as it battled to get close to the record viewership it achieved before its Lockdown-enforced production break, decreasing by over 2.5-million viewers between
April and June.
Daytime shows when there shouldn't be
These TAMS documents are shoddy this month. The Broadcast Research Council hasn't used the accurate parametres for them again.
The documents are supposed to reflect Primetime shows from 17h30 to 22h00 but as you can see, numerous daytime shows have been included, meaning there are shows that aren't on the lists when they should be.
Points of interest
Moja Love continued to headline DStv because of the Family package (with Moja Love) being accessible to Access viewers until 14 June.
Isibaya upped-the-ante this month by biting at Gomora's heals. It's been a while since it's been a threat to the reigning shows on Mzansi Magic.
SABC1's National Film and Video Foundation movies attracted a healthy viewership for once-off events with the most popular one being the transgender flik Feminine Lotus on Wednesday, 10 June, atttracting 2,868,910 viewers.
