Stray observations:
- The announcement of the matric results on SABC1 did quite well, attracting 3.73 million viewers on average over its 69 minute broadcast.
- Not one AFCON match made SABC1's top 20 broadcasts. In addition, viewers finding that their shows were displaced tuned in elsewhere with quite a few competing shows seeing spikes in their viewership as viewers turn away from Afcon. These include 7de Laan who had a peak viewership of 2.7 million, up greatly from the 1.6 million peak a month earlier.
Also, as seen above, news bulletins airing on channels other than SABC1 did very well compared to standard viewership.
But perhaps the biggest loss SABC1 suffered as a result of AFCON was the massive void left by Generations not airing at 8pm which created a free for all for other channels who even saw some shows doubling viewership in that slot.
