You're reading it here first.

I asked this morning and now I can exclusively first reveal that the eNews Channel (DStv 403) will cover next Thursday's first ever evening Opening of Parliament LIVE on 11 February 2010, as well as broadcasting the State of the Nation address by president Jacob Zuma LIVE from parliament as well.

News anchors Andrew Barnes and Nikiwe Bikitsha will start to cover the official opening of parliament for 2010 live from 17:00 on the eNews Channel (DStv 403) including the pomp and fashions, the speech at 19:00 and analysis thereafter. e.tv's eNews Prime Time will also broadcast the opening of parliament and the speech live from 18:30.

eNews reporters Belinda Moses, Hajra Omarjee and Lester Kiewit will be on the scene as well.

On e.tv Rhythm City will move earlier to 18:00 and Thursday 11 February's episode of Scandal! will be canned and move over to Friday 12 February.
