BREAKING. To boost viewership DStv Compact subscribers get daily access to M-Net's soap The Wild as signal is unscrambled from 18:00.

To boost viewership of its new weekday soap The Wild, the pay broadcaster is making The Wild available to all DStv Compact subscribers by unscrambling the M-Net channel's signal daily so that viewers on the cheaper bouquet will be able to watch it too.

The Wild is not currently a top 10 show on the M-Net channel like the longrunning Egoli which used to tie for 1st or 2nd place, but should win more viewers as millions more subscribers and DStv Compact households now also get access to the weekday soap set on a South African game farm.

DStv Compact subscribers whose M-Net channel (DStv 101) is blocked on that cheaper bouquet, are now getting access to The Wild on weekdays between 18:00 and 18:30 when the M-Net signal on channel 101 on DStv is unscrabled. The Wild started two months ago on 4 April on M-Net.
