Migraines, maladies and masts

With thousands of telecommunications masts in South Africa and countless more worldwide, we all live within range of some kind of radio frequency. But, the question is, are these signals a danger to our health? A small Johannesburg community is convinced that unexplained medical symptoms are the result of a mast that went up close to their homes. Join new show Carte Blanche Medical as, in our fourth week on air, we investigate their concerns and whether these are health risks we may all be facing.

Body slice scan

Heart attacks. Cancers. Stroke. Dread disease. These often strike without warning and early detection can be the difference between life and death. But what if there were a way to detect them well in advance? Specialist South African radiologists are now using CT scans so technologically advanced that small polyps in the colon can be detected years before they become cancerous and tiny nodules in the lung can be seen well ahead of a lung cancer diagnosis. Join Carte Blanche Medical as we send Derek for a Multi-slice CT scan and see images of the body like it has never been seen before.

Intersex

When speculation suggested that Caster Semenya had an intersex condition, two South African women had a very good idea of what she might have gone through. Twins Bonny and Stephanie Simelane had lived their lives without any idea that they were different to other women. Then, two years ago they were forced to confront a reality that nothing could have prepared them for. In its third week on M-Net, Carte Blanche Medical investigates the intersex phenomenon and the long road ahead for the Simelane twins.

Watch

Progeria

Their parents have watched them age dramatically from year to year - seven times faster than the rest of us. Carte Blanche Medical meets two of three South Africans in a community of perhaps 200 people worldwide. They're born with a condition called, Progeria, which literally means 'rapid ageing'. South African Leon Botha is thought to be the world's oldest person living with the disease. Now, new clinical trials conducted in the USA are offering hope that many more Progeria sufferers could outlive their life expectancy.

Watch

Hypnotherapy

Although controversial, hypnosis is becoming increasingly accepted as a therapeutic treatment. Carte Blanche Medical ventures into the subconscious and meets patients who have turned to past memories to deal with physical and emotional conditions.

General

When is M-Net’s Open Time closing? M-Net’s Open Time closes on 1 April 2007. The final Open Time broadcast is on Saturday 31 March.

When is Open Time coming to an end? Why? On the 31st of March. This decision was made by the The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) last year.

Why is Open Time closing? Last year ICASA (The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) ruled in favour of closing M-Net's Open Time window.

Will M-Net’s schedule between 17:00 and 19:00 change when Open Time closes? Earlier this year, M-Net introduced an hour of daily drama between 18:00 and 19:00, with Egoli at 18:00 and Binnelanders at 18:30. This slot has been performing extremely well and will continue after Open Time closes. (Also note: Open Time viewers who still want to catch Binnelanders and Egoli now have various options – see point 4) There will changes to programming between 17:00 and 18:00. While Open Time was still running, M-Net used this slot as a promotional window for programmes on its niche channels on DStv channels, like kykNET and GO. As the majority of viewers will already have access to these shows, M-Net will in future give viewers who missed the previous evening’s hour-long prime time series (screened at either 19:00 or 19:30) the opportunity to catch up on all the drama or comedy. The only exception is Thursday evenings. On Thursdays M-Net will screen specials between 17:00 and 18:00. The 17:00 schedule for April 2007: Mondays - Stand-Off Tuesdays - ER season 12 Wednesdays - Smallville season 6 Thursdays - Specials Fridays - Shark season 1 SuperSport fills the 17:00 – 19:00 slot on Saturdays. On Sundays Everwood is screened at 17:00 and the hit game show Deal or No Deal at 18:00.
