They just don’t get it if people have to make the effort to double check that what is in the tv guide is correct or not. If they must pull a show, bump them, or delay them, wait a week so it can make it in the guide. Frustrating audiences in such a changing media environment is hardly a smart idea, but the networks have made this into an art form.

Zamora, try the tv guide on ninemsn.com.au its usually pretty accurate. I usually use the green guide or the weekend liftouts but 90% of the time they’re wrong – very frustrating.

Unfortunately we’re now in an era where print copy is put to bed too early to compensate for network changes. TV Week is probably the earliest to bed, followed by weekend papers and then dailies.

How can Nine expect to win ratings when I, for one, have no idea if my show will be on..and then if it is, fat chance it will start within 10 minutes of scheduled time.

I rely on w/end paper or Weds Herald sun to get liftout and let’s face it, Nine just does not get the continuity factor.

We should not have to tune in every night at 6pm to find out, what is on that night.

The Heroes double are great, should rate great but what of Prison Break, has any one seen any ads for that yet?

That’s alot less than they would have been hoping for. Seven should be infront by Wednesday and will have fingers crossed for Thursday to see how Heroes goes.

Nine didnt win Grand Final week last year, and i can’t see them doing it this year.

If i were Nine i would move The Strip to 9:30 on Monday and Cold Case to 8:30 Thur to be followed by RPA.

I doubt it is Nine’s last chance, and I doubt they will win the week. Nine is slowing starting to fill their schedule, but I don’t think they are doing it correctly. CSI on Monday’s will lessen the impact but Cold Case on Monday 9.30 is a waste. They should use that on Wednesday 8.30 followed by Fringe to try and boost it’s ratings more. And CSI: NY would be better following CSI back on Mondays. Plus Two and a Half Men on Mondays and Wednesday’s at 7.30 need to be replaced, along with Tuesday 9.30. 20 to 01 isn’t that strong except with the younger demos. Nine also need to remove The Strip from Thursday, it is going downhill. I would put RPA at 8.30 followed by The Gift at 9.30 and Amazing Medical Stories at 10.30 – a medical Thursday. Friday also needs something at 7.30 to try and weaken BH&G, perhaps Primeval? However, Nine also has the Rugby League World Cup coming in two weeks, so Saturdays and Sundays will be interupted significantly for them until summer.

“If only Nine could get Charlie Sheen to play rugby league, they’d have themselves a mighty goal”…….thats gold!

Nah doubt it though they may win in the younger demos. Seven will run out the year strongly thanks to the olympics. Nine would be very happy with it’s year though especially the dramatic improvements in the under 50s and will be looking forward to 2009.
