You're reading it here first.
M-Net just officially confirmed the news that I broke RIGHT HERE yesterday about the current Carte Blanche spin-offs, Carte Blanche Medical and Carte Blanche Consumer, disappearing in 2011. Now I can be first to reveal that the new, single show, spin-off Carte Blanche show on a Monday will be called Carte Blanche Extra.
The new Carte Blanche Extra, also produced for M-Net by Combined Artists, will supplement the flagship Carte Blanche show on a Sunday that will be entering its 23rd year on the pay channel. Carte Blanche Extra will go out on a Monday at 19:00 on M-Net - exactly as I spilled the news yesterday from various sources - and will be a compact, additional addition to the main show, often linking to stories on the Sunday broadcast.
''M-Net will be introducing a new Carte Blanche show that combines the current Carte Blanche Medical and Carte Blanche Consumer spin-offs, named Carte Blanche Extra,'' the pay broadcaster just told me. ''This will take the Monday night Carte Blanche Medical slot in the new year.
''We're very excited to bring Carte Blanche fans brand new, informative investigate content in a jam-packed, condensed format of this nature,'' says M-Net.
