Maybe a raft is in order for Scripps Networks Interactive's Travel Channel (DStv 179) that on Thursday did a media launch in Durban for the second season of Durban Beach Rescue while it sent out a 2-page press release to the rest of the media covering television awkwardly marked "draft".
Media didn't know if they're supposed to use something marked "DRAFT" in grey.
Later, after a media enquiry, Travel Channel reissued the press release without the "draft" watermark.
The Travel Channel on Thursday also had a media launch for the second season of Durban Beach Rescue in Durban.
Media covering television didn't know and wasn't told about it but saw it when photos were posted on social media.
For the first season of Durban Beach Rescue Travel also did media launches but only in Durban and Johannesburg.
The second season of Durban Beach Rescue, produced by Ruby Rocket Media and executive produced by Bronwyn Berry, will start on Travel on Monday 27 November at 20:00 with double-bill episodes.
The 12-episode second season will continue to capture the day-to-day challenges of Durban's lifeguards on the Wedge, uShaka, Umhlanga man and Bronze beaches in KwaZulu-Natal and even further north to Ballito.
"This time around the show is less about the crowds and more about the characters who work tirelessly to keep the holiday-makers safe."
Here is a teaser trailer of the second season of Durban Beach Rescue:
