American daily soap Days of our Lives, which boasted more than 1 million viewers, according to the TAMS primetime rating figures, got the chop. However, its direct competitor, The Bold and the Beautiful, was saved, a moved that worked for the broadcaster, as the soap is still the most watched programme on SABC3.
It’s followed by the Chinese science fiction comedy film, CJ7, in second place with 1.2 million viewers, and then the weekday local soap Isidingo remaining in 3rd place with 1.17 million viewers.
