Curtain Call: SABC 3 will no longer broadcast The Bold and the Beautiful GoodbyeBold
JOHANNESBURG - After years of entertaining viewers on SABC 3, popular US soapie The Bold and the Beautiful will no longer air as of Monday 4 March.
The SABC says the decision to remove the soapie was taken as a result of the property’s poor return on investment while the financial investment to acquire the property kept increasing. "In response to the current financial challenges facing the SABC, the channel is implementing a programming strategy which seeks to ensure that it provides compelling and entertaining programming, that resonates with audiences.
"From 4 March, SABC 3 will broadcast a News and Current Affairs programme, Democracy Gauge at 5:30pm. This will be followed by the local sitcom, Taryn and Sharon at 6pm and local drama Keeping Score at 6:30pm."[WATCH] Soweto shows 'Brooke Logan' tons of SA love
