The controversial satirical show ZA News has found a new home on the internet after the SABC refused to air it on television.
The first episode of the series, which features puppets of people including former president Thabo Mbeki, President Jacob Zuma and African National Congress Youth League leader Julius Malema, went live on Tuesday.
ZA News has battled to get on air for the past two years.
ZA News launchThe SABC reneged on its contract with the producers and a Special Assignment episode on the series was pulled twice.
Now producer Thierry Cassuto says they have decided to bypass TV altogether.
From Tuesday daily episodes will be available online.
"It is straight from producer to the viewer," says Cassuto.
He says this places editorial control entirely in the producers' hands adding this could be the way forward for many shows that have suffered as a result of problems at the public broadcaster.
