BREAKING. All Access cut to half an hour; revamped for a black audience once the show resets on Mzansi Magic end of April.


The weekly entertainment magazine All Access will end on M-Net tonight exactly as I told you RIGHT HERE in February, and be resurrected as i told you RIGHT HERE last month on Mzansi Magic for a black audience and dropping the white presenters Mark Bayly and Koula.
Now I can reveal that All Access will be cut down to half an hour show that will start on Thursday, 21 April at 20:00 for 26 episodes.

''All Access is ending on the M-Net channel tonight. It will be revamped as a brand-new half hour show starting on Mzansi Magic on Thursday 21 April at 20:00,'' M-Net's commissioning editor Nirvana Singh just told me. ''There will be a tweak to the All Access content as well. The show will change to reflect the look and feel to match the brand of Mzansi Magic as a channel,'' she says.

''All Access on Mzansi Magic will no longer have some of the presenters. The presenters of All Access on Mzansi Magic will be Pabi Moloi and Tammy-Anne Fortuin, Bridget Masinga and Jason Greer. The show will remain in terms of content the same, we're just going to make it more accessible to the Mzansi Magic audience,'' says Nirvana Singh.

Homebrew Films that did All Access for 2 years for M-Net will produce the new half hour All Access for Mzansi Magic with an initial contract of 26 episodes running for half a year.
