You're reading it here first.
Earlier today I was first to tell you RIGHT HERE about the massive achievement and incredible viewership figures of the eNews Channel (DStv 403) that's now by far the most watched TV news channel available in South Africa.
Of all the satellite TV news channels that South African TV viewers have access to, the eNews Channel outranks them all with the daily number of viewers it attracts to its independent TV news coverage. the eNews Channel now regularly pulls in 526 000 viewers on a daily basis. I have the first reaction from Patrick Conroy, group head of eNews.
''The eNews Channel has been a tremendous success for us, and we continue to grow our audience each month,'' Patrick Conroy tells me. ''As the only domestic 24 hour TV news service in South Africa we do have a certain advantage over the foreign networks in that we are local. We would never claim to be better than CNN or the BBC, perhaps we're just more relevant to the South African audience. We still have a lot of work to do, but I am enormously impressed with the hard work and improved skill level within the news team''.
