The Broadcast Research Council of South Africa (BRCSA) is a non-profit, industry body that was incorporated in 2015 to cater to the audience research needs of the radio and television industry in South Africa. In 2016, it changed its policy about giving away TAMS and now only monthly reports, highlighting the top 20 or 30 primetime shows on several popular channels, are available.

Hi MarkLives,
Thanks for sharing this Dstv guide. Great!
DSTV you bring series and movies later than they should and it is sad for viewers with no internet access because they are not up to date. My children have been complaining that there is nothing to watch on TV because they have already watched all of the shows that are there or the new shows are not interesting. My daughter was complaining that a new movie was supposed to come out on Friday but on the channel they say its supposed to be on their showing a 2008 movie instead.
