TOLDJA! Dr. Oz to start as SABC3's brand-new mid-afternoon talk show on Tuesday 16 August at 14:30 for 174 episodes after the end of Tyra.


You're reading it here first.

In early April I broke the news RIGHT HERE exclusively that SABC3 is getting the new weekday talk show Dr. Oz once The Tyra Banks Show ends. Now I can exclusively reveal - although SABC3 hasn't announced it yet - that Dr. Oz will start on SABC3 on Tuesday 16 August at 14:30.

The Dr. Oz Show will replace The Tyra Banks Show - exactly as I said two months ago - on 16 August. Since seasons of Tyra alternated with seasons of The View in the same timeslot, the addition of Dr. Oz means an immediate delay of the next season of The View - if SABC3 still intends to carry on showing The View, which at this point isn't known. Should The View continue, it will mean that Dr. Oz and The View (since Tyra ended after this 5th season) will become the new alternating mid-afternoon talk shows on SABC3.

The broadcaster has 174 episodes in the first season of the Oprah protege's talk show that covers medical issues and healthy living that will run on weekdays.
