Fans of the show and other social media users reacted to the message with a flurry of comments. Briefly News took a look at some of them below.
@gopolang6 tweeted:
"Moving the show from 9 pm was a bad move. LootLove & Warras were fire. But 7.30 pm while you have abo Gomora? SABC was taking chances."
@MulaudziBT wrote:
"Even forgot that the show existed. Over time it seems the show lost its stronghold and influence. Used to be a pre-party before going out. And it seems the more it changed presenters the more it degenerated."
@021McDesi commented:
"Live Amp died after Andile, Sizwe, Phila, Tbo Touch, Bonang, Minnie and LootLove."
@ThabeloRamarumo added:
"They shouldn’t have moved it from 9 pm to 7.30 pm in the first place."
@CpoMahlatshana said:
"They'e going to come up with a show similar to it anyway for that spot, by the same production houses – the reason I stopped watching the entire channel."
