You're reading it here first.
I can reveal that a brand-new weekday show, Don't Sleep with T.J. Holmes will definitely be seen by South African viewers on BET (TopTV 190) as part of the BET United Kingdom channel feed on TopTV when the show starts later this year on BET in America.
The new weekday show, aiming to be a kind of Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report will have T.J. Holmes as the anchor who recently left CNN in America after he was lured away by BET.
When BET in America made the announcement last week that T.J. Holmes will be getting his own show, I immediately asked TopTV whether Don't Sleep with T.J. Holmes will be shown in South Africa, and if yes, whether the show would also be a same day episode for South Africa in the same way that The Wendy Williams Show is seen here on the same day as in America.
I finally heard back from TopTV after making a second enquiry. The pay TV operator tells me that BET UK will indeed have Don't Sleep with T.J. Holmes on its programming schedule. Not known yet is when the show will start here and how far, if any, South Africa will be behind, or the timeslot the show will be seen in.
