Programming note: The Tech Report on the eNews Channel tonight comparing all 3 iPads as the new one goes on sale Friday.
The Tech Report on the eNews Channel (DStv 403) will have a South African television first tonight (Wednesdays, 21:30) when this great local weekly magazine show about technology will review the new iPad which will be on sale from Friday.
The third season of The Tech Report remains proof of great local television, done on a weekly basis, and done very well. The show which is remarkably better than the previous two seasons is surely a feather in the cap of the eNews Channel and is a great addition to its crop of weekly magazine shows.
Its telling that The Tech Report in its third season has already (unannounced) had its episode order extended - the current season got additional episodes and is longer than ever before.
The eNews Channel would be well served - as would viewers - to turn The Tech Report in its current relevant, extremely well-produced and high quality format into a regular all year show similar to Maggs on Media and The Justice Factor. Hopefully the already longer running The Tech Report is an indication of that and the kind of shows that should be winning Saftas.
Tonight The Tech Report will compare all 3 iPads to each other in a funny comparison by correspondent Seth Rotherdam who's hilarious "how do you stop social media notifications" and other instructional tech inserts are hilarious (and well produced).
