You're reading it here first.
I can exclusively reveal first that M-Net has snagged the broadcasting rights to the fantastic new drama series Covert Affairs with Christopher Gorham and Piper Perabo.
Covert Affairs just got renewed for a second season yesterday in America, barely six episodes into its first season because its doing spectacularly well in the ratings. There is now more pay TV competition in South Africa but M-Net is still ahead of everyone by snagging the exclusive first show rights to this great show. A cross between Alias (that was on M-Net first) and Chuck (that's first on M-Net now), Covert Affairs is simply brilliant (yes, I've watched it already) and tells the story of the CIA trainee agent Annie Walker (the new Sydney Bristow!) and the blind special ops agent Auggie Anderson.
''We do have the rights but its not starting for some time still,'' M-Net tells me. But so far . . . wonderful news.
