BREAKING. M-Net's canceled entertainment magazine show All Access to be resurrected for a black audience on Mzansi Magic.


You're reading it here first.

Exactly as I told you RIGHT HERE last month seemed like a possibility, I can now exclusively confirm: that M-Net's canceled weekly entertainment magazine show All Access that will have its last episode on Friday 1 April at 19:00, will resume in a whole new guise later on Mzansi Magic (DStv 107).

I'm told the ''new'' All Access will be a new kind of show tailor-made for the local black-skewed channel. If that happens, it would be the umpteenth major change the show went through since its launch with a great set that got dumped after a few months, and several other erratic format and on-air changes during the show's run. M-Net also moved All Access to different weekdays and timeslots that further atrophied viewership.

All Access, produced by Homebrew Films, recently won the Safta award as best local magazine show in South Africa but that wasn't enough for M-Net to keep the show alive on the channel. All Access will be gone after just over 90 episodes on M-Net.
