Weekly Afrikaans kykNET talk show undergoes third title change without warning, rebrands as In Gesprek met Waldimar Pelser.

The weekly Afrikaans actuality talk show KN Verslag in Gesprek with presenter Waldimar Pelser on kykNET (DStv 144) was suddenly renamed and rebranded on Wednesday night as In Gesprek met Waldimar Pelser.

The actuality show that started out as INSIG, was changed to KN Verslag in Gesprek after a few years and on Wednesday underwent its third title change to now reflect the host's name from season 6, episode 27.

MultiChoice's electronic programme guide (EPG) on DStv wasn't updated to show the change on its pay-TV service and still said "KN Verslag in Gesprek" on Wednesday night. 

kykNET didn't bother to inform and to tell the media about the change and didn't issue any programming update, notification or advisory.
