- Once again the SABC's Xhosa news topped the list, pulling 4.15 million viewers at its peak.
- The Zulu news bulletin (SABC1) is on its tail as always, pulling 4.07 million viewers.
- The next most watched news bulletin, in a distant third, is SABC2's Afrikaans news bulletin with 1.3 million viewers.
- SABC2's 6:30pm multilingual news bulletin is next, with 1.15 million viewers.
- SABC3's English news bulletin continues to build an audience, now pulling 922 000 viewers at peak.
- The one minute eNews Direct Headlines on Sunday evenings continue to pull strong numbers for etv, attracting a bit more than 2.6 million viewers at its peak.
- For the frst time in its history, the standard half-hour edition of eNews Direct, though the Sunday edition only, featured on etv's most watched programmes list. This is a direct result of being sandwiched between the SA Got Talent performance show and results show, both of which pull in excess of 3 million viewers. This eNews Direct bulletin pulled 2.087 million viewers, making it the third most watched news bulletin.
- Speak Out continues to be the country's most watched actuality attracting a peak of 2.346 million viewers.
Stray observations:
- DStv had an open weekend for their three main series channels, M-Net, M-Net Edge and Vuzu Amp. Not one channel saw a bump in viewership.
- An American music awards show disguised as an African one, the MTV Africa Music Awards, aired in October. However because it aired across three tv channel's (MTV, MTV Base and on tape delay on etv), it did not make the most watched list for DStv nor etv. News channel ANN7 s hosting their South African of the Year Awards this month. Lets see if they can make the list.
