Why doesn’t DStv fill their channels like 196 when Idols isn’t airing? They could easily put new shows there for us – ANDREW, VIA FACEBOOK It’s an easy answer, explains DStv publicity agent Nadine Moonsamy. “Channels like this are kept open for reality shows including Idols SA (2002-current) and other special-event broadcasts that pop up from time to time and are unpredictable in their timing.” This includes the Oscar Pistorius murder trial in 2014 that got 24/7 coverage.
