There was outrage yesterday as DStv announced a price hike taking effect from April of this year. So how’s that Netflix subscription looking?
After four years of waiting the Rugby World Cup is almost upon us. Do you really want to be that person listening to Pieter de Villiers over Naas?

Admittedly the latest season of Masterchef Australia on Mnet is becoming a week-night addiction for most of us. Never before have we been more interested in the outcome of middle-class Australians vying for the title of uber-chef in this highly competitive televised cook-off. This particular season however has captured the intense interest of most of South Africa’s female population due to the inclusion of a particular hunky contestant who goes by the name of Daniel Churchill.
As the frenzy surrounding Oscar Pistorius’ trial reaches fever pitch, are ads like this warranted? DStv has dedicated an entire channel to the court case and the events surrounding it. It begs the question whether the media, at the expense of accuracy, are provoking the public and thus cashing in on the death of Reeva Steenkamp. Are they going too far? The opposing argument: it’s a murder trial, it’s 2014, and the people do want to know.
Who do you call when you need expert opinions on a celebrity murder case? OJ Simpson’s defense lawyer, of course.

DStv has recently graciously lifted its self-imposed suspension of Nando’s “Diversity” anti-xenophobia ad. But it seems this incredibly generous move by DStv has gone unappreciated by Nando’s. The restaurant-chain says it won’t be spending any money to have that advert flighted on DStv.
