The channel's new breakfast show, 'Die GROOT Ontbyt' (The BIG Breakfast), will simply be a video simulcast of GROOT FM 90.5's breakfast show and will be broadcast weekday mornings from 6am to 8am on both KykNet and the soon to launch Kyknet Nou.
Radio and television personality, Johrné van Huyssteen, will anchor (present?) the show. He will be joined by Nadia Meukes, who herself is not new to Kyknet viewers, as well as Hendri Myburgh, who will present business news and social media updates and Elsa Esterhuizen, who is the show's resident newsreader. The show also has a Cape Town-based correspondent in Rouchelle Liedemann.
Viewers can look forward to actuality, news, sport, traffic, weather and music (beccause it is still simply a radio simulcast) in the new breakfast show.
Though KykNet is promoting the show as the first radio-television hybrid show in South Africa, it is most definitely not. Prior to this show, Gareth Cliff's radio breakfast show from CliffCentral was simulcast on Comedy Central before it was cut due to low ratings and before that DJ Sbu's YFM breakfast show was simulcast on Soweto TV before it too got canned, but because of money issues.
I don't see myself waking up to a visually unstimulating breakfast show in the morning, but if this seems to be your kind of thing, chheck it out from August 10th, 2015 on KykNet (DStv 144) and KykNet Nou (DStv 146) from 6am.
