M-Net tells me that there's been a huge need to tell more consumer related stories. ''Carte Blanche gets inundated by consumer stories of all kinds that can't make it on the flagship Sunday show that can only accomodate four or five stories each Sunday.''
''M-Net has decided to create Carte Blanche Consumer to address some of the big consumer issues in the country and to champion consumer rights as it's set out and protected in the Consumer bill of rights.''
M-Net says it doesn't mean that consumer stories will just be contained to Carte Blanche Consumer, but that the new spin-off is an additional platform to come to consumers' aid. Carte Blanche will give consumer tips and advice as well and do investigative consumer stories.
