BREAKING. Clifton Shores reality show acquired by Vuzu; local reality show to start on the youth channel in May or slightly later this year.
You're reading it here first.
I can exclusively break the news that the heavily-hyped locally-filmed reality show Clifton Shores has been sold to M-Net and will be shown on Vuzu (DStv 123) in South Africa probably from May or somewhat later in the year.
M-Net clinched a deal for the reality show following several American girls from Los Angeles working for the South African coal mining mogul millionaire Quinton van den Bergh and working for his events and entertainment company Quintessential, while they're living and partying it up with their boyfriends in South Africa's most expensive and exclusive postal code of Clifton.
Sources are telling me exclusively that Clifton Shores has been acquired by Vuzu, although the reality show showcasing beautiful Cape Town and which was filmed last year in the Mother City, hasn't been scheduled yet and will definitely not be on air before at least May. Insiders dish to me that Clifton Shores was picked up by Vuzu but that it ''has not been scheduled'' with a possible broadcasting date of May or later.
Clifton Shores with 15 episodes and somwwhat of a cross stylistically between the MTV reality shows Laguna Beach and The Hills stars Jamillette Gaxiola and Toby Moniz, Brett Roux, Rikki Brest, Claire Dante, Kathy David, Steven Jackson, Katie Marie, Destiny Moniz, Raquel O'Donoghue and of course Quinton van der Bergh.
