You're reading it here first.
I can exclusively first reveal that M-Net has done a BIG about turn and that M-Net will NO LONGER be having a dedicated TV channel devoted to the upcoming Cape Town Carnival, set to happen in March.
M-Net went big with the news in September last year that the broadcaster would go big with the event and be the official media sponsor of the Cape Town Carnival in the lead-up to the event that is set to kick off on 18 March 2010. M-Net promised ''a dedicated channel on DStv that will cover the parade on 20 March 2010, as well as advertising airtime on all M-Net channels to promote the Carnival''.
The Cape Town Carnival is suffering. Several people organizing it has resigned, the number of ;large floats have been reduced from 25 to just one, director and producer Rchard Loring has also withdrawn from the event as creative director, less people will take part in the parade and the Cape Town Carnival has struggled to find sponsors.
I have asked, and when I hear from M-Net as to why the broadcaster decided to no longer set-up this specific channel for the Cape Town Carnival, I will have that information right here.
