Vuzu AMP adds new 'late night' chat show to schedule

Vuzu AMP (DStv 103)today announced that addition of a new 'late night' talk show to the channel's schedule. The words 'late night' are in quotation marks because the show airs at 9:30pm, hardly considered to be a late night slot.

The show, called The V-Table, will be hosted by probably the foundation of the '#Vuzu5,'  Nomuzi Mabena, who will be joined by YouTube sensation Moshe Ndiki, and entertainment king Larry ‘Larryngitis’ Nhlane.

For now, the show will air for 30 min on a Monday evening from November 7th and aims to look at the week’s breaking and trending news, along with gossip and varying perspectives on popular culture. Its format will include celebrity interviews and commentary that is entertaining and unfiltered, focusing on past and current events in the form of a late night roundtable discussion.

In other words, it wont be much different to SABC3's late night show, TrendsSA.

“We feel that it’s important for us to engage with our fans on what’s trending and making news, in a way only we know how – with that unmistakable VUZU AMP twist. Each presenter brings their own unique flair to ‘the table’, so this, combined with the hot topics each week is bound to make for fun, always provocative, viewing.”

All of Vuzu AMP's domestically produced content either simulcasts with Vuzu or airs on Vuzu, which is available on DStv's smaller bouquets compared to Vuzu AMP's Premium-only footprint, a few months after its premiere airing. It will be interesting to see what will happen to this show in this regard as news, even if it is pop culture, has a very limited shelf life.
