TopTV executives are now saying that Top One is being revamped. Of course I already wrote that TopTV content executives are in Cannes, France this week attending MIPTV 2012, the annual international TV buyers market.
And who knows - perhaps they'll be clever and secure the rights to Oprah Winfrey's new talk show, Oprah's Next Chapter which is the show on her OWN channel getting the highest ratings and lots of buzz and score an instant great acquisition, or the as great Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes - since Passion Distribution is at MIPTV 2012 too, and OWN programming can in fact be bought and shown in South Africa.

While Top One will remain a general entertainment TV channel on the TopTV bouquet, radical content improvements are apparently planned.
In a taped video messsage to journalists at TopTV first press screening (only held in Johannesburg, and only for Johannesburg press) Eddie Mbalo, TopTV's interim CEO said ''2012 is a new start for TopTV''.
He said TopTV is planning ''an improved content offering'' which means the planned improvement of Top One, as well as several other self-compiled TopTV channels. ''We will give subscribers a world class offering from now on,'' Eddie Mbalo promised.
