The Broadcast Research Council of South Africa (BRCSA) has published its television audience measurements by November 2020.
The data includes a list of the most watched shows on DStv, SABC 1, 2, 3 and Etv.
BRCSA said the report does not give the total audience for DStv’s commercial channels, and the figures reflect the audience on the platform at the top level.
For cases where the same show appeared on multiple channels, we only include figures for the channel on which it had the most viewers.
The following table details the most watched shows in South Africa in November 2020.

Move content online
Internet adoption increased significantly this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent national shutdown.
This prompted many South Africans to turn to online streaming to meet their entertainment needs, and local broadcasters have evolved to meet this demand.
DStv launched an independent streaming service, allowing customers to enroll in broadcast-only packages that do not require a satellite dish.
The SABC also partnered with Telkom to launch TelkomONE – an online streaming service offering television programs and radio stations licensed from Telkom by the public broadcaster.
TelkomONE will broadcast SABC television channels 1, 2, Sports and Education, as well as SABC’s 19 radio stations.
The SABC provides its content to Telkom on a non-exclusive basis, which means that it can still launch its own streaming platform or provide its content to others.
