BREAKING. SABC3 is Psych-ed out. Broadcaster has no plans to continue with the show now only on The Universal Channel.


You're reading it here first.

I'm exclusively told that the funny detective comedy-drama show Psych that was shown on SABC3 is a gonner. Just like Bones the show starring James Roday as Shawn Spencer and Dule Hill as Gus won't see further seasons on SABC3.

''Psych is not on our radar anymore,'' an SABC3 executive tells me. Another SABC3 source says: ''We have not acquired a new season of Psych. It's not in our plan for the new fiscal'' - meaning 2011. What that means is that basically Psych on SABC3 is over.

That makes The Universal Channel (DStv 108) now the only place where South African viewers can see Psych, currently in its 5th season in America. I've asked The Universal Channel when a new Psych season is set to start in 2011 in South Africa but haven't yet received an answer.
