The majority of the audience share, however, remains with local programming, regardless of its delivery. The move toward a digital regime, together with the introduction of competition, has provided challenges to the regulatory regime. ‘Global difference’ in South Africa plays out through a relatively late start but surprisingly short catch-up period, emphasizing a demographic/socio-economic specificity that has resulted in a highly skewed television market in which the uptake of high-end technology is less widespread than in other more ‘developed’ markets, and where the taste of local programming dominates even the technologically advanced sectors. The last 25 years have seen a move from a single monopoly broadcaster within the ‘public service’ tradition (but later subsumed into the apartheid political agenda), to the present situation of a multi-company, multi-platform, increasingly digital delivery, calling into question even the very definition of ‘broadcasting’. Within South Africa, much of this global narrative is repeated. Television delivery throughout the world has changed rapidly over the past two decades.
