I can exclusively break the news that Michael Mol, somewhat absent from Top Billing on SABC3 the past year, is returning to the weekly SABC3 magazine show from October with a brand-new insert in which he will be looking at gadgets and high-end consumer techonology products and innovations.
TV with Thinus broke the news RIGHT HERE last month that Top Billing is moving its timeslot to 20:00 from October.
With that Top Billing timeslot changes comes another new addition: a gadgets feature that Michael Mol will be doing.
Here's the background: Yes, Top Billing has done in the past, and has recently ramped up, inserts on consumer technology products and gadgets. Michael Mol has not completely disappeared from Top Billing, although the presenter this past year did move on to focus more of his energy and time on Expresso, SABC3's new morning show, as well as his own weekly show, Hello Doctor (Sundays, SABC3, 16:00) which started shortly after Expresso did last October.
Now Michael Mol has in fact scaled down his appearances on Expresso considerably the last few months, firstly to have enough time to devote to Hello Doctor - but now also to regularly help Top Billing again from October - although not in the full-time jet-setting foreign destination way of before.
From October Michael Mol will be back at Top Billing and will head up the new gadget section, which involves limited travel, can be pre-planned and -produced and can be scheduled to fit in around the weekly production deadlines of Hello Doctor.
