Eastender - BBC Brit, DSTV

Some time ago on BBC Brit, Eastenders was removed from its regular Monday to Thursday time-slot and moved to 6am on Saturdays when all four episodes were aired consecutively.

In the past last three weeks and without any warning or notification, the Saturday episodes have been cut down to two and with South Africa already a month behind the British airings, this will now put the series.

Ther was no communication from either DSTV or BBC Brit on the reasons for this change nor was there any rationale for the series to be moves from its regular weekday slot in the first place

Eastenders has a huge following in SA and this just seems like yet another "couldn't give a damn about our subscribers" attitude.

As it is, DSTV now only seems to do any communication via WhatsApp which has generic responses and their social media pages are completely unresponsive (in fact DSTV no longer uses X/Twitter even though their profile is still there).

I am quite certain that DSTV will (as they always do) pass the buck on this saying that they don't have control over BBC Brit content but they should be keeping subscribers informed.
