FALSE ADVERTISING. SABC silent about the ongoing no-show and changing of content on SABC3 that again promised Bollywood movies only to end up not showing it.

by Thinus Ferreira

The "new" S3 behaves exactly like the bad and unreliable SABC3, with the SABC that is silent about SABC3's promise to return Bollywood movies only to renege on its promise and own schedule without any explanation.

S3 viewers are angry and upset after the SABC promised to return Bollywood films to the SABC3 schedule but then not doing it, and then staying silent about it.

This past Saturday, S3 was supposed to show Ki & Ka at 19:30 as it returned Bollywood films to its weekend schedule with Ki & Ka published as part of its channel listings. 

At 19:30 on Saturday evening Ki & Ka wasn't shown but S3 suddenly broadcast a Hollywood movie - schedules be damned.

SABC viewers told TVwithThinus that it's "false advertising on SABC3".

"The channel has been advertising the return of Bollywood movies today at 19:30 with Ki & Ka, however it's now broadcasting a Hollywood movie If Only". Why is Ki & Ka not being aired?" a viewer asked.

By Wednesday morning at the time of publishing of this report the SABC didn't respond with any answer, explanation or apology in response to a media enquiry that TVwithThinus had sent to the SABC on Monday.

The SABC remains silent after it was asked days ago why Ki & Ka was scheduled and advertised but not shown, why a Bollywood film was again advertised only to become a no-show, and why the SABC isn't alerting SABC3 viewers to schedule changes.
