Scrapped from M-Net after exactly 2 years on air, the weekly entertainment magazine show All Access returns tonight at 20:30 as a retooled, reworked and trunkated show and to the new channel, Mzansi Magic (DStv 107) targeting a black viewership.
All Access, still produced by Homebrew Films, resets as a new show now reduced to half an hour and without the white presenters except for Jason Greer who stays on with Bridget Masinga and Pabi Moloi. A new black male presenter will also be added, but not yet from tonight.
I can also show the new All Access logo first - now silver in colour from the previous golden hues it changed to after the original red and black. Despite the word ''Mzansi'' appearing in the logo I'm told the show's name will still just be All Access. No episode synopsis or line-up for the reset show's first episode, or media advisory that it's starting was issued by anyone involved with this show.
UPDATE Thursday 21 April 20:30 - It's hilarious! Now suddenly the show is called All Access Mzansi - after I explicitly and specifically asked Mzansi Magic whether this is the new title - and was told it remains just All Access.
