For the first time in the history of M-Net 101, the channel will announce the voting results of a reality show on the same night of its live broadcast throughout the voting season. That’s why M-Net 101 is introducing an exciting – and controlled – new voting mechanism for Dancing With The Stars SA, the brand new reality show extravaganza that will add even more razzmatazz to the channel’s Sunday night schedule from 4 February 2018 at 17:00.
Viewers will be able to vote for their favourite dancing pairs – a celebrity partnered with a professional dancer – from the start of the live show at 17:00 until 19:15 on the same night. But, in a very important twist, you will ONLY be able to cast your votes if you have registered at least thirty minutes before the live show commences. So, before 16:30 on Sunday evenings, to be exact. No new registrations will be accepted during the weekly Sunday night voting period.
Step 2:
The registration process is quick and easy. You just have to go online on one of the two available voting platforms – website or your mobi device – provide your telephone number and add your own password. And the good news is, once you’ve registered, you will be eligible to vote throughout the season. Then, you will also not have to wait for days to find out whether your darling dancers have made it to the next round. M-Net is adding a special Dancing With The Stars Live Results show to its Sunday night schedule, after Carte Blanche, from 20:00 to 20:30.
The Sunday night schedule change – with the live Dancing With The Stars SA extravaganza at 17:00, Carte Blanche at 19:00, the Dancing With The Stars Live Results Show at 20:00 and the Sunday night blockbuster at 20:30 – will only kick in with the third episode of the show from Sunday 18 February when the first couple will be sent
