They’re doing it because Nine is negotiating for it with Disney and a midday slot.
Wow…slow news day?
Guess the industry is a bit hung over today 😉
I always thought 1.40pm was a bit of an unusal time as its a bit late to catch the lunch time people. I wish W would start shows on the hour and half instead of every 50mins. I used to love this show when Rosie O’Donnell did it as it was entertaining and intelligent. Now I can’t stand that “ignorant and George Bush loving” Elizabeth Haselback.
