Programming note: Seasons 18 and 19 of The Amazing Race set for Sony Entertainment Television in 2012.


You're reading it here first.

Two seasons of that quality reality TV stalwart - The Amazing Race - will unspool in 2012 on Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 113), although the channel doesn't have specific dates yet.

Of course SABC3 was supposed to, and planned, to start with season 15 of The Amazing Race on 23 January which will no longer be the case, due to the programming buying bungling at the SABC.

Sony Entertainment Television however will have two first-run seasons of The Amazing Race for the territory. ''Viewers can look forward to brand new seasons of The Amazing Race on Sony Entertainment Television in 2012: season 18 and season 19,'' the channel tells me. ''We don't have confirmed broadcast starting dates as yet.''
