Ratings Flop??? Could Uzozisola Regrets Move To Late Nights On e.tv Signal A Dark Fate?

A few months ago, eMedia Investments decided to rival with Zee Africa's Zee Zonke channel by launching Uzozisola: Regrets. This was accompanied by a repeat broadcast of IThemba Alibulali from Star Khanya.

TAMS got the axe from last year meaning consumers and other media outlets wouldn't really get the gist on which program would be a major gainer or a flop to the channel.

e.tv used the 20:30 timeslot for soon to be shuttered BET Africa's Redemption and Isono even uBettina Wethu from SABC 1. These were all local dramas and when news that Zulu dubbed Bollywood drama was launching it likely scared away these viewers.

It happened with e.tv's Sunday night movie block at 20:00 when the channel decided to air Is'phindiselo and have movies come an hour later. Although, it wasn't necessarily a flop having local dramas in it did however lead movies to dip in ratings.

From January 16, Isitha: The Enemy would be taking up Uzozisola Regrets timeslot at 20:30.

Uzozisola: Regrets being distant from all the other primetime shows does kind of raise red flags it could as well be the signal that very much like Nikiwe maybe they're letting it die.

Another scenario would them perhaps licensing some of these shows from Star Khanya and Zee Zonke as seen with IThemba Alibulali. Maybe this is what could become of Uzozisola: Regrets once it ends on the channel.
