With South Africans getting used to the country's energy crisises, eNCA (DStv 403) has added a new onscreen graphic to the channel's news bulletins: a loadshedding level indicator (that is what I think it is called)
And it does just that: Indicate the current load shedding status level, which allows viewers to know at any time when their area will be affected (by checking the corresponding time on a loadsheddig timetable). This is particularly helpful if you miss the short update the anchors give usually closer to the start of the bulletin on what the current load shedding level is.
My only complaint about the graphic, which debuted during News Night with Jeremy Maggs, is that it seems a tad too big and distracting. But I hope it stays.
Like the news ticker and clock, it does disappear during taped shows.
