The Rise of the Right

Once they were renowned for their easygoing attitude to just-about-everything, including marijuana, gay marriage and legalised euthanasia. To be Dutch was to be inclusive and proudly multicultural, socially progressive and accepting of difference. Now the Netherlands appears to be speeding in the opposite direction.

Free Range

'Free range', 'organic' and 'pastured' on labels in supermarkets may look impressive and evoke images of livestock roaming the countryside in plenty of fresh air and sunshine. But what do these terms actually mean? Carte Blanche finds out whether free range eggs are all they're cracked up to be.

Fly Boys [REPEAT]

After the Wright brothers first invented and flew a plane, South Africa joined the rest of the world in introducing aviation as a means of transport. John Weston, a civil engineer, built an aircraft in the Free State in 1907 and pioneer Pierre van Ryneveld flew from Cairo to Cape Town in 1920. And these days, from gliders to microlites, South Africans are up there when it comes to aeronautical technology. Now the two-seater 'Sling' is giving its designers the freedom they've always dreamed of.

Rhino Files III [REPEAT]

There seem no limits to the extent to which rhino horn smugglers will go to get what they want. Vietnamese smuggling syndicates have long engaged in so-called &amp;quot;legal&amp;quot; rhino hunts on South African game farms. Now details of a Thai network have emerged. And the supposed hunters are alleged to be petite and glamorous Thai sex workers and escorts, who can barely lift a rifle, let alone bring down a 3 000 kilogram rhino. Carte Blanche investigates an ingenious collaboration between Thai smugglers and South African hunters.

Fracking up the Karoo [REPEAT]

If you've lived there, visited, or just driven through, you'll know the Karoo is a vast, magical place, formed hundreds of millions of years ago. And lurking beneath its ancient low-lying plains is shale - a rock producing natural gas. It's an increasingly important source of energy in the US. Now oil companies are turning their attention to the Karoo. Extracting the gas is done by hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking', about which little is known. Carte Blanche finds out more.

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.
