BREAKING. 'Absolute Women' NEW NAME IS: 'Let's Chat. . .with Mel'.

You're reading it here first. I was FIRST with the news that Melanie Bala is doing an Oprah by getting her own brand new local talk show , then I spilled FIRST that it was tentatively going to be called Absolute Women, I did a set visit and was FIRST to bring you awesome pics from the show and a set reveal and now I can be FIRST again with the news that the show has changed it's working title from Absolute Women to: Let's Chat . . .with Mel.

The show looks awesome, Melanie Bala is uber intelligent and clever (but in a funny and completely relatable way to the female audience her show it pitched to) and I think the show is going to be a hit. It starts on 6 January on M-Net Series (DStv 110).

BREAKING. First look at Melanie Bala's new talk show set for Absolute Women.

You're seeing it here first. I was first to break the news that Melanie Bala is getting a new local talk show, it was I who had all the details of it first, had the first official pics and spilled the name, Absolute Women. ,Before everyone else as well of course.
Here's another first - the VERY FIRST GLIMPSE of Absolute Women's very cool talk show set.

The show is recorded at Clive Morris Productions and starts on 6 January at 20:00 on M-Net Series (DStv 110). I just walked out of a recording and the show is funny (actually Mel is funny), it's clever without being too high-brow intelligent, it's different to everything else out there, the production quality is high, thought clearly went into every aspect of the show and guest line-up, and Melanie was great to talk to.

Also, the title of Absolute Women might still change. I've known it for a while, but I was told so again today, so I'll update with the new name - should there be one - as soon as I hear anything.

Where 3Talk with Noeleen on SABC3 is bathed in blue and darker aqua hues, Absolute Women is vibrant in shades of orange, and very bright. Also notice the circular and fluid wave pattern incorporated into the set design, the wavey curve distribution playing out in the back panels, the orange  bottom-lit floor panel insets, and the couches to compliment the set design colour palette.

BREAKING. 'Absolute Woman' with Melanie Bala.

You're reading it here first. I can be first to tell you that Melanie Bala's new local talk show will be titled. . . Absolute Woman.

:)

Of course I was first last month with this story breaking the news that Ms M is busy with her own talk show for the M-Net Series channel.

I can now also tell you that Absolute Woman will start in January on M-Net Series. The show will center around female drive topics, as I've already said, with a studio audience. It will be M-Net Series' very first locally produced talk show.

Also, this brand-new publicity pic of Melanie Bala, you're also seeing here . . . FIRST.
