Amazing race gay violinists
M-Net (DStv 101) has scooped up the broadcasting licensing rights to the actual world competition show, The Astonishing Race, with the 30th season that will initiate on Sunday 14 July at 18:00.
M-Net originally scheduled The Amazing Racefor Fridays at 19:00, starting in June but postponed the show's launch and gave it a better timeslot on Sundays as a lead-in to Carte Blanche.
The long-running and hugely trendy American reality series used to be broadcast on SABC3 but in a highly-erratic schedule due to the South African general broadcaster's ongoing financial problems.
The 27th season ended on SABC3 in January this year but the SABC is likely to maintain on its own schedule of broadcasting older seasons.
A few years ago Sony Pictures Television Networks grabbed the pay-TV rights of The Amazing Racefor The Sony Channel and started showing more up to date seasons, managing to get to the 29th season in August 2018 on the Sony Max channel carried on both MultiChoice's DStv and the Cell C black pay-TV services, after which the channels were shut down and removed in January 2019.
M-Net is now taking over The Amazing Race after Sony folded for South African and Afr

Initially YouTube sensations, Well-Strung found fame in the world of social media with a Classical meets Contemporary fusion and have performed at many LGBT Pride festivals as well as for Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, and the Vatican.
While the four friends in the Well-Strung quartet survive together in NYC, including musicians Edmund Bagnell and Daniel Shevlin, Chris and Trevor took an intermission to pursue their dreams of competing on The Amazing Race.

What brought you to NYC?
Trevor Wadleigh: I first moved to NY to pursue a Master’s of Music at Manhattan School of Music, but then I didn’t go! I decided I didn’t want to do melody, but apparently here I am doing music. There were two or three years that I left it completely. I was working in an investment bank when I heard about Well-Strung performing. One of my issues with mus
