BREAKING. eNCA and e.tv plans simulcast 'Obama in South Africa' live TV coverage on Saturday from 15:30.


The eNCA (DStv 403) and e.tv will have simulcast live coverage on Saturday 29 June from 15:30 until 17:00 of the visit of the United States president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama in South Africa with the eNCA's "new" American reporter Simon Marks covering proceedings.

The eNCA and e.tv will be crossing over for a live simulcast broadcast of Obama in South Africa on Saturday at 15:30 until 17:00 when the e.tv schedule will resume with WWE NXT.

The eNCA will in fact already start pre-coverage at 15:00 on Saturday, although e.tv will join in from 15:30.

The SABC didn't immediately respond to a media enquiry made asking what the SABC's possible coverage plans of the Obama trip to South Africa might entail on which channels.

On Saturday MTV Base in Johannesburg will also film an episode of MTV Base Meets... with Michelle Obama when she will be talking to South African teenagers for an episode to be broadcast on MTV Base in July.
