SECTOR 3 While there may be a perception that the SABC does not provide value, in March 2018, the most popular channels on DStv watched in South Africa were reportedly the SABC channels and private broadcaster e.tv, particularly among the lower LSMs. This came from TV audience measurement research conducted by the BRC. In addition, DStv is sometimes the only way outlying populations can access the SABC. ‘Some people have to pay for a DStv licence in order to be able to receive SABC digitally in this way, due to the fact that the public broadcaster’s analogue signal is not available throughout the country.’ Scores: Individual scores: 45 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator ✓✓✓ ✓✓ ✓✓✓ ✓ ✓✓✓ Average score: 3.1 (2013: 2.9; 2010: n/a; 2008: n/a; 2006: n/a) Overall Score for Sector 3: 3.1 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER SOUTH AFRICA 2018
