The Kingstons reality show failed to premiere on Times Television on Friday night, which irked viewers.
The much-awaited reality show was expected to premiere at 8:30pm on the award winning television station.
In a statement posted on Times360 Facebook, Times Television said “due to reasons beyond our control, we are unable to bring you the premiere of The Kingstons tonight”.
The television went on to say that the premiere would be aired as soon as the matter was rectified before an introduction of the first episode was served.

Times Television Station Manager Wonder Msiska, who was rueful, could not be drawn to comment on the issue, maintaining that they had made a statement and that they would come back with more details once the technical glitches had been rectified.
Last week, Msiska said they were happy about the Kingstons reality show project, being the first of its kind on the local entertainment scene and to feature the most followed couple in showbiz.
“As Times Television, which is the number one television station in the country, we pride ourselves in taking on new challenges and breaking boundaries with our content,” Msiska said.
He added that The Kingstons reality show is bringing to the screen all that raw, behind-the-scenes daily life of their package for viewers.

Despite the no-debut for the reality show, Times Television held a launch event at Amaryllis Hotel in Blantyre, where they engaged various players to support The Kingstons’ reality show.
Having been served with snacks during the red carpet event, the patrons, including friends and relatives of the Kingstons, then were treated to the introduction of the first episode.
And then after host of the event Times Television presenter Yankho Seunda said that the event was over, The Kingstons appeared for interaction with the patrons before taking photographs.
The couple engaged in December last year in Blantyre during an occasion that attracted several people.
Zeze recently bagged two awards for Best Artist of the Year and Secular Song of the Year for ‘Kusangalala’ during the 2023 Entertainers of the Year led by MBC.
The award-winning musician said recently that he has always loved sharing his life with people around him and that The Kingstons reality show offers him that opportunity.
“The show is not just showbiz, but also a platform for us to share with Malawians our life behind the limelight,” the ‘Mphaka’ creator said.
Dorothy also said she felt honoured to be one of the first Malawians to star in a reality show with her hubby.
“This is mostly seen as an impossible and foreign concept. This show is breaking boundaries and showing the world that we can,” she said.
The Kingstons reality show is being produced in partnership with Smile Media Group, a local multimedia production and advertising agency.
