Despite the promises made by Cheeky Media CEO and ‘The Morning Show’s’ executive producer Yusuf Stevens to deliver top-notch news content in a viewer-friendly format, some viewers say will be abandoning eNCA. Instead, they’re flocking to Newzroom Afrika and SABC News, as the changes implemented by eNCA don’t seem to be to their liking.

In comments, viewers expressed confusion about what’s happening with eNCA and many have already made the move to the other channels.

As criticism mounted, one Facebook user couldn’t resist poking fun at the logo redesign, quipping that the channel must be in need of a graphic designer, since the logo looks like it just crawled out of a coffin.
