You're reading it here first. Massive news is that M-Net's premiere investigative journalism TV show, Carte Blanche is getting bigger with 2 brand-new spin-off shows per week from January 2010!
Get ready for Carte Blanche Medical starting on Monday, 18 January at 19:00 for half an hour and Carte Blanche Consumer starting on Thursday 21 January at 19:00 for half an hour.
After going through the January M-Net schedules I noticed both new additions (the flagship Sunday Carte Blanche at 19:00 remains intact). I just asked M-Net about these, which confirmed the 2 new weekly spin-offs.
M-Net tells me that Carte Blanche Medical will feature on medical breakthroughs, look at medical malpractice cases as well as health advice.
Carte Blanche Consumer will give tips on consumer culture, tackle stories where consumers are the victims and champion consumer rights to the fullest spectrum possible.
