Top Shows on TV: September 2022
Special notes
Wowser
Muvhango's turned into daytime TV. The morning repeat on SABC1 now attracts more viewers than the ever plunging primetime broadcast.
As for Idols... it's down by another 120,000 viewers from
last month.
Last person to leave turn the lights off!
Oh wait, Eskom's already done that.
The Wife's second marriage
375,499 viewers for The Wife's most popular episode in its first month on Mzansi Magic.
Not bad considering it's been all over Showmax for years, and Stage 6.
