Without access to a television, I am not sure what’s going on in the world of South African entertainment.

But thank the high heavens the Broadcast Research Council of South Africa (BRCSA) does.

Every month, they release television audience measurements – which includes a list of the most-watched shows on DStv, SABC 1, 2, 3, and Etv.

Established in 2015, the BRCSA’s role is to “commission and oversee the delivery of radio and television audience measurement research for broadcasters, as well as the advertising and marketing industry”.

Exciting stuff, isn’t it?

But that’s okay.

Here’s a breakdown of each channel’s most-watched shows from January:

And just wait until you see the full report, here.
