The weather has spoken! SABC3 is in a flatspin since the broadcaster won't be able to premiere the first episode of Survivor Gabon tonight at 20:00 since the snowed-in weather in Europe made it impossible for the Survivor Gabon tapes to arrive in South Africa on time!
SABC3 which still held up hope that the first episode of Survivor Gabon make make it to the SABC's Auckland Park head quarters in time today, had to face the reality (no pun intended) this morning that Survivor Gabon will not be starting tonight.
Sources tell that because of the continuing bad weather in Europe, as well as the Christmas weekend, SABC3 is not holding out any hope that Survivor Gabon might even be able to start next Monday, 27 December. Currently SABC3 has no new starting date for Survivor Gabon, I'm told. In the place of Survivor Gabon tonight on SABC3, the channel will broadcast a last minute filler, Piers Morgan interviewing Susan Boyle in Susan Boyle - Piers Morgan's Life Stories.
Now in a press statement SABC3 confirms that Survivor Gabon ''scheduled to air this evening, Monday the 20th of December 2010 at 20:00 will not be broadcast'' for the reasons I've mentioned. ''SABC would like to apologise to all its viewers for the change in schedule. Further communication about the broadcast of the first episode of Survivor Gabon will follow.''
