For Halloween, Paranormal Nightshift is coming to CBS Reality from 11 October telling tales from workers seeing things during 'the witching hour'.


by Thinus Ferreira

A new show, Paranormal Nightshift is coming to CBS Reality (DStv 132) from Monday 11 October until 27 October, on weekdays at 07:30 and repeating at 21:10, with each hourlong episode that will tell 3 stories of supernatural encounters, each one more terrifying than the last from those who loved through them.

Episodes of Paranormal Nightshift will repeat on weekends at 07:05, 20:20 and 00:35 from 16 to 27 October.

While a narrator keeps the plotline moving in Paranormal Nightshift episodes, the vast majority of the storytelling is done by the men and women who have lived through it.

These interviews are first hand intimate peeks into the spine-tingling world of those who work "the witching hour".

Also on CBS Reality in October will be the start of the third season of Borderforce USA: The Bridges on Saturday 16 October at 08:40, repeated at 19:30, bringing more stories from the world's busiest international boundary: the 2 000 border that separates ruthlessly efficient Mexican drug cartels from the USA state of Texas.

On the United States side, Customs and Border Protection officers have the job of keeping goods and people flowing in both directions while making sure that guns, drugs and other contraband don't make it across the border.

The challenge is daunting: on one side is the ruthlessly-efficient Mexican drug cartels; on the other, the
biggest and most lucrative drug market on earth.

Borderforce USA: The Bridges follows CBP officers stationed at 12 of the 28 international bridges that straddle the border and documents the immense challenges that the officers face on a daily basis

Seasons 6 to 10 of Random Breath Test will premiere on CBS Reality in October from 1 to 29 October with double episodes on weekdays at 11:10, 14:50 and 23:45, repeated on weekends, stacked, at 06:00 between 9 October to 21 November.

Random Breath Test follows the Australian police units for a unique, behind-the-scenes look at RBT patrols testing for alcohol and drug affected drivers.

In episode 1 of season 6 officers in Wollongong are diverted from their regular RBT duties by an emergency call over the radio. They join in the hunt for a runaway driver who fled from police when they tried to pull him up for a breath test.

He led police on a dangerous chase through the backstreets until he crashed his car into a dead end street and fled, climbing over back fences and running through yards. Police find the driver, Tyrone out of breath and worse for wear at a local Subway. He insists he was only getting a sandwich and denies he was the driver of the car police spotted him in. A breath test is just the start of Tyrone's problems.

CBS Justice (DStv 170) has season 1 of Injustice with Nancy Grace starting on Monday 11 October at 19:00, followed by the second season, back-to-back.

Killer Siblings is another new crime documentary show starting on CBS Justice on Monday 11 October at 20:00, with season 2 of How I Caught a Killer starting on Monday 11 October as well at 21:00.

All three shows will have new episodes on weeknights.

On Monday 25 October the second season of Licence to Kill will start on CBS Justice at 20:00 with the plastic surgeon Dr Terry Dubrow as the host in which he examines shocking cases of medical professionals who inflict harm on patients.

That is followed by season 1 of The Killer Within at 21:00, examining what turns someone into a murderer, with the help of forensic and criminal experts.
