When it was established in July 1986, Radio 2000 would "simulcast" the original soundtracks of television programmes which were dubbed in Afrikaans, thereby catering for English speakers who wished to watch them in the original language.[https://books.google.com/books?id=-NRDAQAAIAAJ&q=Miami+Vice The voice, the vision: a sixty year history of the South African Broadcasting Corporation], Malcolm Theunissen, Victor Nikitin, Melanie Pillay, Advent Graphics, 1996, page 120
