BREAKING. SABC1 cans 21 popular local TV shows as it disrupts its June TV schedule for pervasive 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage.


You're reading it here first.

I've already told you about the crazy changes in store for SABC1 viewers from the middle of next month when SABC1's daily TV schedule gets severely disrupted because of 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage and now I can bring you the massive list of dumped shows that will disappear for about a month.

Kids News will be off the air from June 7 until July 9 together with Takalani Sesame and of course the daily Siswati/Ndebele TV news bulletin which will also be canned and which I told you about RIGHT HERE yesterday. Here's what else gets canned on SABC1 on every weekday once the 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage starts on SABC1:

Mondays: Shift, Wina Manje and Soccer Zone all off the air from June 14 until July 5.
Tuesdays: Bakae off the air from June 8 until July 6.
Wednesdays: Jika Majika off the air from June 7 until July 7, Khumbul E'Khaya off the air from June 9 until July 7.
