Programming note: Bravo! starting tonight at 19:30 on kykNET is another attempt at a local entertainment news magazine show.

Bravo!, another new local weekly entertainment news magazine show starts tonight at 19:30 on kykNET (DStv 111) and whilst publications who don't care for facts says Tammy-Anne Fortuin will be a part of the show, I can tell you she won't.

Precious little information about Bravo! exists although it starts today - is the show another rush job in a notoriously difficult TV genre to do and do really well? Henre Pretorius, Hannes van Wyk and Tracey Lange from Good Hope FM are the three main presenters; experience and history indicates that it might change and sooner than viewers might think, as the show evolves.

The Afrikaans half hour Bravo! which I was told a few months ago is basically replacing Glitterati on kykNET as a new attempt to bring some much-needed glam content to the channel, is produced by Homebrew Films also responsible for the similar weekly All Access Mzansi on Mzansi Magic (DStv 107).

It used to be that red carpet interviewers and presenters doing profile pieces had some pedigree - not anymore with Bravo! which just like Flash! on SABC3 and the horrid string of SABC1 also-ran'sseemed to have picked people that makes you shake your head in confusion. Only Henre Pretorius has bona fide experience within this genre as the first co-presenter of the youth magazine show Jip.

Insiders gave me several names of people who auditioned for the presenter role that eventually went to Tracey Lange. Tammy-Anne Fortuin is busy studying and networking in New York and won't do inserts for the show sources tell me.

Also as per usual and although it exists, specific episode information - let alone the latest real actual announcement that Bravo! is starting - isn't/wasn't send to the press. The first episode tonight as far as I can tell will feature inserts of the new magazine launch of Grazia and the recent Fiestas where the Bravo! cameras were seen.

Programming note: kykNET's Fiestas 2011 award ceremony honouring local showbiz talent to be broadcast on 5 February.

I've just been told, and can be first to tell, that the kykNET Fiestas 2011 will be broadcast on Saturday, 5 February on kykNET (DStv 111) at 20:30 with glam hosts Tammy-Anne Fortuin and Henre Pretorius.

This new annual award show that was introduced last year by the Afrikaans satellite TV channel is taking place on 3 February for the second time in its history, at 19:00. kykNET will record it and Fiestas 2011 will be broadcast 2 days later on television at 20:30. The show originating from the Artscape in Cape Town has been started to recognize talented artists and great stage productions across South Africa. Fiestas 2011 will celebrate the best of 2010.

Viewers who want to possibly attend the award function can book tickets starting at R85 per person through Computicket.

BREAKING. All Access ditches studio permanently, co-anchor Pabi Moloi temporarily, as the M-Net entertainment show revamps for Fridays.

You're reading it here first.

I can reveal the brand-new All Access logo: Gone is the dramatic bright red and black logo of All Access (now on Fridays at 19:30 on M-Net) replaced with sunset soft tones. The opening theme song is also brand-new and less dramatic as well, with a more subdued ditty that's more temperate (yet tonally still rhythmic).

I was FIRST RIGHT here last week to tell you that All Access is shaking up the production. I broke the news in February that All Access would be moving to Fridays in April. Then I was first to reveal earlier this week that Bruce Dennill and Louise Saint-Claire will be joining All Access in a new movie slot.

Another gonner with the new Friday revamp is All Access co-host Pabi Moloi (although just temporarily). Co-host Mark Bayly was joined in Cape Town by Tammy-Anne Fortuin, both suitably dressed in pitch black . . . as if to mourn Pabi Moloi's on location absence. The first episode of All Access in its new Friday night berth started with an extremely akward looking and feeling introduction to explain all the changes.

''As from this week, All Access goes au natural as we venture out of studio and into some of the most beautiful spaces in our country,'' said Tammy-Anne Fortuin.

''I don't have my usual sidekick beside me,'' explained Mark Bayly. ''Because we're coming to you from beautiful Cape Town, who better to have as a co-host than one of Cape Town's most beautiful daughters, the lovely Tammy-Anne Fortuin . . .''

BREAKING. Today's BBC Sport Relief Mile in Cape Town on BBC Entertainment this evening.

You're seeing it here first.

Here's Alan Shearer, ex-England and Newcastle United football captain and TV presenter Tammy-Anne Fortuin at this morning's BBC Sport Relief Mile charity racing event in Cape Town. Viewers will be able to see some of it this evening at 19:30 on BBC Entertainment (DStv 120) since Cape Town will be forming part of this British initiative for the first time with Londen. More than 3 500 people in Cape Town took part in this morning's race.

Created in 2002, Sport Relief is an event that brings together the worlds of sport and entertainment to raise money for the poor and vulnerable across the globe.

''I've been involved with it for a few years now. I've seen the tremendous work that it does,'' Alan Shearer told me this morning.  ''I'm so exceptionally proud of it,'' Tammy-Anne Fortuin told me.

TV stars share their Christmas wishes.

I asked a few local TV stars how they will be spending Christmas day tomorrow, and for their special Christmas wishes.

''Christmas day I will be spending with my parents in Cape Town. They will be coming over to my place and it's always a big responsibility. The stres will be high in the kitchen, but like everything else I'll get through it. I had such a crazy year. I don't want anything for Christmas - I think I already have everything. To have the people you love with you is all that is important on Christmas. For readers I want to say everything that is good and great and love. Enjoy the day with your family and for those not with family, be with your friends, because they're your family too.''
- Tammy-Anne Fortuin, All Access presenter on M-Net

''It remains a tradition to spend Christmas time at home. This year were privileged to have my mother in law from Europe here to visit us and on Christmas Eve we will have a family dinner at my brother in law. On Christmas morning I will be playing the organ at church after which we will throw some meat on the coals and swim with my two year old grandson in the swimming pool. A new Mercedez-Benz would be welcome (a guy can dream can't he!), but I think we all share a wish that crime, poverty and unemployment will end. It's my hearts wish that all South Africans will treat each other with respect which will make South Africa an even more beautiful country.''
- Riaan Cruywagen, SABC2 news reader

''On Christmas day my wife Christi and I will be spending the day with family in Gauteng. Most people jet off to Cape Town but we flew to Gauteng. I think 2009 was a long and a tough year, so for me the biggest gift is to just have some time off to rest. My biggest wish is for the children of South Africa and the children who might not get a gift tomorrow, or might not be sitting around a tree, or might not have a warm meal. I want every child to know that they are precious and wonderful and matter, because Christmas is about children.''
- Nico Panagio, Survivor SA host on M-Net

''I'm with my family in Cape Town with my mom who turned 80 this year and with my children and my brothers - also my brother visiting from London, the one who plays in Kumars. We are going to have a delicious family feat, also with friends. My biggest wish is for peace and joy in this country. And that crime will go down - we're all tired of crime now.''

- Vinette Ebrahim, Charmaine in 7de Laan on SABC2

''Christmas day we will be spending as a family. We're on holiday at the south coast and it's all about family. My wish for people is that they will carry and remember the message of Christmas in their hearts and will remember why we're really celebrating Christmas when they gather around the Christmas tree.''

- Michael Mol, Top Billing presenter on SABC3

''On Christmas day we will have a massive Italian feast cooked by me. I'm actually a very good cook I'll have you know! It will be in our garden and the whole family will be there. It's what we do every year. My wish is for a new kitchen and then also to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I hope to do that this year. My wish for South Africa for 2010 is for more jobs and that we can leave the recession behind us and just less poverty in our country.''
- Debora Patta, 3rd Degree presenter on e.tv
