  •   0

by SAARF & MarkLives (@marklives) See who made it to the top of our National and DStv charts for the week of 17–23 November 2014! A collaboration between the South African Audience Research Foundation (SAARF) and MarkLives, this #Top40TVratings column is a weekly roundup of SA’s TV audience viewership.

Satellite dishWe reveal the best-watched shows of the week before (in this case, 17–23 November 2014), where they ran and how many South Africans tuned in to watch.

We offer two tables:

  • The first covers all households — free-to-air viewing (the various SABC channels and e.tv), as well as the DStv platform.
  • The second charts the best-watched shows on the DStv network of channels only.
