A "fibre-break" took e.tv's The Morning Show, done from Steyn City, off-air on Friday morning.
e.tv says technical problems due to a fibre-break is to blame for the broadcast interruption of The Morning Show that is broadcast between 06:00 and 08:00.
"This was due to a technical issue. There was a fibre-break in the Sandton/Rivonia area in Johannesburg, which affected Telemedia. At 07:09 the fibre-break was fixed, and the video link was immediately re-established," says an e.tv spokesperson.
At some point the presenters of The Morning Show on e.tv changed yet again but there was no word or official announcement from e.tv about it when it happened.
In response to a media enquiry about why and when The Morning Show changed again, e.tv tells TVwithThinus that the show, produced by Cheeky Media, now has Clement Manyathela, William Lehong and Tumelo Mothotoane as the three presenters.
The rest have quietly been fired after just a few months since the start of The Morning Show.
"Our new presenters are Clement Manyathela and William Lehong. Tumelo Mothotoane was joined by Clement in November and William in December," says e.tv.
"We added new presenters as the show changed its editorial direction late last year. The Morning Show now has less lifestyle content and a greater focus on current affairs."
