SABC1 dumps America's Next Top Model from the schedule 3 days before it is supposed to start; new 'cycle' soon on Vuzu.

SABC1 has removed, without giving a reason, America's Next Top Model from its schedule; the model based American reality show from Tyra Banks was set to start in 3 days' time on SABC1 on 1 February at 16:30.

The reality show has been yanked from the SABC1 schedule only three days before it was supposed to start.

SABC1 didn't announce what is replacing the hour long show on its schedule. SABC1 didn't provide a reason as to why America's Next Top Model is suddenly being pulled.

The likelihood is high that the SABC didn't secure the broadcasting rights in time, necessitating the last minute pull and schedule disruption.

Meanwhile the 18th season of America's Next Top Model is set to start on Vuzu (DStv 116) on Wednesday 13 February at 20:30.
