Updated: TEN shifts ANTM to a late night slot.
Channel TEN has dropped America’s Next Top Model from its schedule effective immediately.
The reality series was airing on Sunday and Monday nights. It will replace it with a movie on Sunday night (which also bumps Don’t Forget the Lyrics out for the night).
On Sunday the show managed just 403,000 viewers.
Monday nights it will be replaced by repeats of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
TEN also drops Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Army Wives from its Monday line-up next week.

The dropping of ANTM, which has already screened on FOX8, is the second “Pay to FTA” show to be dropped this week. Maybe it’s time to stop scheduling shows that have already aired on subscription TV?
Kindly link to this site when sourcing or posting in messageboards, thanks!
found the last few episodes of season one being aired at midnight….so now I’m aching for season two…bring it on Channel Ten
Just wanted to add to the disappointment! my boyffriends is completing deployment and army wives was the one thing pulling me through, Dont bother airing the show if you believe it wont get ratings because it leaves us all upset and angry.My friends and i are not happy constantly replaying the 3 episodes aired that got us so hitched!
Words can not express my anger at C10. I am so absolutely sick and tired of damn crime shows. Most nights you go to either 7,9 or 10 and there will be some stupid crime show like Numbers, CSI, The Mentalist (that is the worst title for a show by the way!).
Finally a show I love, Army Wives, graces our screens. I am also a huge ANTM fan, It is extremely disappointing that my 2 favourite shows have been removed, ANTM might as well not be on, who can watch TV till 2am when they have to get up and work at 8am the next day?
As for Gossip Girl, another show I also love. I couldn’t be bothered staying up that late to watch it.
I am signing up for pay tv in a few weeks because I am sick to death of The Simpsons!!!
Anyone else missing these shows, they can be easily downloaded.
Army Wives Season 1 comes out on DVD in March
No wonder you are the bottom of the ratings! Chopping & changing programs but never fear the video is here to tape Americas next Top Model in the middle of the night.
I have to agree with most of you chan 10 what are you doing… bring back A.N.T.M have a look at the crap line up for tonight out of the blue (this is shite no wonder they have been playing it late at night) followed by bad news bears (w.t.f) followed by about a boy how many times can one tv station play the one movie I would love to know how many times it’s been on…no chan 10 for me tonight time for a dvd..
I know that this won’t make 10 put it back on but I feel better for venting..
top ten models – you keep changing the time and day then its in the paper then it not on the tv. then i find out it was on for 2 hours at midnight last night. its crap you are unprofessional – we need to see who wins before you cut, I am over Channel 10.
Why get us involved in two good shows of Army Wives and Americas Top Model then take them of the air, you could at least let us see the series to the end instead of leaving us hanging. Why do channels do that and why put it on in the first place. Then you go and put onSmarter than a 5th grader would have rather had the other shows so as to seen the end result thankyou.
ill just tell Mel and Koshie!! – Maybe they will hook a viewer up!!!!!!!!
Ahhh!! – what – no – pleaseeeeee stop!! ANTM is the one show that i make sure i see weekly!!! and one of the only reasons I chose chanel 10 or 7!! – you go getting pepes hooked on shows then Aghhh!!! Why? The ratings were prolly low cause pepes are having a summer BBQ or soming!! Not me!! – I bail home just to seee ittt!!!!!!!
please just put it on!! – Even if you run the rest of the series in one night!! Aaarhh!!
It is just so annoying when you start watching these shows and become genuinely interested in them and they are just pulled from the screen with no notice and no details as to whether they will be aired again at a later stage. Channel 10 you suck.
A later amendment decided against Fifth Grader, preferring Simpsons and Rules of Engagement.
Channel 10 Sucks and blows at the same time. Army Wives was one of the highlights over the summer period, what are we suposed to do now? Download pirate versions on the internet? Im sick of these muppets at the TV stations messing around with the schedules. And repeats of 5th Grader… you have got to be f***ing kidding me? That is arguably the the biggest pile of s*it program ever devised by mankind.
I hate how channel 10 has done this! You can’t just put on a series then take it away and not finish it! I loved the show and was really looking forward to the rest of it! I also thought after they had done this previously, that putting it on again they would go all the way otherwise why even put it on! Not happy!
Rebecca check the link in the top of the post, TEN has rescheduled ANTM to new late slots.
I am so upset about this. It is just not fair to those people who have been watching this series of ANTM and also Don’t forget the Lyrics. I was looking forward to sitting down and watching those shows tonight as they are the only thing on during this non-rating period that I have enjoyed watching. At least finish something or let the viewers know what you are doing instead of just taking it off the air and we have no idea what has happened. I won’t be watching TV tonight. Thanks Channel 10 for nothing!!!
or replace that stupid show coming master chief boring coz ANTM is the bomb
Wat i love amica’s next top modle plz dont move it move bold and the beatiful yukkkk plz dont take top modle
Ch 10 you have lost me.
Honestly!! Then the stupid networks wonder why no one watches TV anymore.
From now on i will be downloading all TV shows i enjoy, because the pathetic networks can’t just finish a series, or they move it around so many times you have no idea when its on any more. Its not even ratings season for F’s sake.
Commercial TV is well an truely dead to me.
i can not believe ch10 taking ANTM off the time slot, this is crap….
just to let everyone nose… ANTM the cycle that is on ch10 at the moment was the best episode and its get better each cycle because i just finish cycle 11and that was really good.
I remember TVTonight saying that the US 5th Grader would be shown during summer?
What happened? Did Ten come to their senses and realise it would ruin the Rove hosted version?
of course they’d take it off; its one of my fave shows :S this and Gossip Girl gone; what’s next?
If they’re gonna take shows off, why dont they replace them with other shows since they’re so fond of bumping shows rather than putting crappy movies on :S Why not give The Office a run at 7.30 just to see how it goes?? :S;S Guess this is something else I’ll be downloading :S
OMFG! I love ANTM. I am getting Pay Tv the day i turn 18 (march cant come soon enough
I was really enjoying Army Wives – thanks a lot TEN!
I’m really scared about the future of In Plain Sight. I was completely surprised by how good it was and can’t imagine not watching it each week. I’m sure it’ll be gone by ratings period but if they take it off before that, I’ll be seriously pissed (again).
Networks – please!!
1. If you are going to put on a show that has already been on Foxtel or out for a while being able to be downloaded then you will get low ratings. Pretty obvious to me!
2. If you do put on one of these shows, then at least for the loyal audience it attracts, finish the series for them. Just look at the complaints you are getting!
3. Taking shows off mid season like this simply jeopardises your chance for starting any new series as viewers simply won’t make the commitment knowing there is a chance it will be off at some stage.
4. Non-ratings season does not mean what it used to. The fact that we can right now look up ratings right here means there is still reporting, and therefore revenue for advertisers based on these figures. Therefore program changes in summer as well.
5. New content is better than endless repeats. Better to have on a show never before seen on your network (even if it has been on Foxtel) then repeats of shows that you have already shown.
6. And for the record, my wife would be watching ANTM on 10 if she had not seen it on FOX8 before!!!
Channel 10 you suck! If they quit moving ANTM around like a freaking jumping jack, they might have a chance to get some solid ratings!
Does anyone have an email address we can complain to or is it only by mail/phone?
OMG! u cant take off ANTM?!! we need to see who wins? hey not everyone can bloody afford pay TV – this is pathetic!! Bring it back!!!!
I am not impressed Channel 10. its a non rating season FFS! Get off your high horse, we have already recently seen fifth grader who wants to watch that crap again? Bring back ANTM!!!!
ANTM is rubbish. Glad its gone. I have struggled to find anything worth watching on a Sunday night for months.
Ten have absolute contempt for their viewers by dropping ANTM from the schedule mid-season. At least they could schedule the remaining episode in an off peak slot (weekend afternoons maybe). I don’t watch the show (not my cup of tea), but cutting it mid season just makes no sense.
Like others, the tv networks scheduling last year means I get most of my (non Australia) content from other sources. Let’s hope ten and nine get their act together for the rest of the year. Their summer rating changes are just not on.
all i can say is i need a higher internet quota.
Just checked in Sunday TV guide from Sundays Herald Sun both Gossip Girl &Army Wives listed as Must See TV for this week – Kiss of death.
they list 5 must watch – 2 get canned.
Army Wives like In Plain Sight have been my 2 highlights on Ten’s summer schedule.
What?
One of the few things left on Ten’s sched worth watching.
This is starting to feel like Ten is working themselves into the end of their run.
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.
Had an another look at the advance guide, and seems I was a little optimistic – Law & Order on Friday next week is actually listed as a double repeat (no Numbers rerun at 8:30pm). Reruns galore!
I also notice next weeks Rush encore screens at 11:35pm Saturday instead of 9:30pm Wednesday…replaced by House – why bother Ten?
why did i even bother watching army wives to begin with !?
I’m watching it on youtube right now. Suckit ten!
Peter, i recall that holby blue was bumped, dance machine was bumped, dirty sexy money was bumped, kath and kim bumped, ugly betty trimmed down to once per week. I’m sure there were more. That was all in under 1 month. So i must disagree.
Not that im a huge 7 fan, but it seems to me that their summer lineup didnt have all that many changes, unlike 9 & 10….
If Bold wasnt on at 6pm, the only new content Ten would be airing next week in primetime before 10:30pm would be Lyrics (Thurs 7:30pm) and Law & Order (Friday 9:30pm)…
At least Ten didn’t just chuck on The Simpsons on Mondays I guess.
Ten – question for you – what are you thinking ?
from Feb 2007 only 4 seasons ago.
1/ The season of ANTM that was on air on Ten was season (cycle
2/ Why axe a show to show repeats ? especially Smarter than 5th grader – old quiz shows hardly interest many…
3/ Why take off Army wives (one of the shows I have enjoyed over summer and from talk around impressed many)
Ten’s first change of 2009 seems dumb to me.
Well the very first time around 5th Grader did well enough, holding out above 1mil. Maybe it should be trialled in the 7:30 Wednesday timeslot again.
awwwwwwwwwwwwww no more ANTM
I cannot belive ch 10 thinks 5th grader is a good replacement option as it was so painful and loooong the first time round. If any show needs to be made shorter – this is it!! We need to scale back on Rove not give him more exposure me thinks.
I’m not hi-tech enough to figure out downloading – I always think I am going to be made the scapegoat of illegal downloads!! (bit far fetched I know).
Yes, because 5th grader did sooo well the first time around… seriously, ten.
So what, 10 are now screening no new shows? Army Wives was great. I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it for too much longer. All the networks started off so well with their Summer line-ups and then they just so ahead and completely f**k it up. All the Summer shows probably won’t be seen again until next Summer.
So it’s not only ch9 doing stupid programing moves.
And they wonder why the save of black DVDs are hitting a high and more people are ordering bigger ADSL packages.
Gah! I dont like using torrent sites, but it looks like I’m going to have to to watch the last episodes of ANTM! Stupid TEN….
as i usually do i am going to take the networks side in this canning.
i know its sad, but there’s only so much that 10 can sacrifice for its viewers. i would have done exactly the same if i were the programmer, was expecting this a few weeks back. instead of criticizing people should be thankful that they have been on this long.
if it works out ten will go home with more money that can be spent on making new shows and making their existing shows better. so at the end of the day it could benefit the viewers.
I was looking forward to seeing the girls come to Australia. Surely Channel 10 could have drawn some viewers from something like that.
It is the non-ratings period! Channel 10 are just ensuring continued ratings doom this year. If they can’t stick with a schedule during the non-ratings period, they have no hope.
They could have at least replaced it with something interesting. “Are you smarter than a fifth grader?” repeats are not appealing at all.
I really hate Channel 10, I definitely won’t be watching any of their “event television” this year.
No. I loved ANTM. I thought that it was rating really well at first.
I still want to see the rest of the cycle, its a pity they can’t show late on a FridaySatruday night.
Some of the time FTA deserves this kind of criticism, but there are other times when the viewers need to accept their programming decisions. Top Model, Lyrics, Army Wives were getting under half a million – how could you possibly justify keeping them on FTA television?
And didn’t ten just add another episode of Model to the schedule last night???
In terms of momentum moving into the new ratings season, ten are looking worse than where they were in the back half of 08. They will be preying Dance and Loser will fire again, if they dont then their entire schedule is f#@ked
Whether you like this move or not the numbers that Top Model was getting were embarrasing so this cut had to come. Also cleaning out Mondays and putting on Movies is the best way for Ten to clear the deck on this wretched night.
Their reality shows occupy these two nights from Feb so there’s little point in keeping anything around if it’s not performing well.
If you’re after old eps of Top Model there’s a dude on YouTube who puts em up (wmy wife missed a week of an earlier season and I was able to find it on this guy’s channel) just search for ANTM you’ll find it pretty quickly)
Not a fan of either of these shows, so not sad to see them go. It is probably a good thing that the CI repeats have been scaled back though. Last week it was on 3 times a week and now its been edited to 1 time a week.
2009 has started for FTA!, Picking up where they left off.. Axing shows!. One can only imagine what kind of joke is coming up around the corner when FreeView comes into Effect. Whats the point of FreeView when the FTA Channel bring in the same garbage thats been repeated a million times on FTA!
Uggggggggggh. Why can’t they just leave Army Wives alone? It was the only summer show I was watching. It had sleeper potential.
I’ve enjoyed watching that mumbling chick with the short hair (with subtitles, no less!) on ANTM, but what I’m annoyed about most is that I’ll have to watch The Office even later than I have been….grr..
Yeah, I don’t understand why they stuff up schedules during non-ratings either. Non-ratings is usually a great time of year to catch new stuff.
So that’s it? No more episodes of Top Model? How are we supposed to find out what happens with the remainder of the season? There’s still 8 models remaining and I don’t just want to look the season up to find out who wins I actually want to watch the rest of the season. I don’t see why they couldn’t just move it to a mid-day timeslot so the die-hard fans could at least finish watching the season!
I told myself to take a risk and watch Army Wives. So I did. I like it. It’s gone!!
I feel angry. I shouldn’t. I should have remembered the disappearance of other shows I liked.
What Army Wives. that was by far the best new show to air over summer. that is soo annoying. is there any word on whether it will be moving to another time slot. But why would Ten do this it is no ratings, it doesnt matter
What the effity eff!!!
Even though it is an old cycle and I know the winner I haven’t seen this one before. This is truly one of the funniest shows out there.
Ten are really screwed with the ratings this summer. I blame their treatment of shows during the latter half of the year for the most part.
Instead of repeating 5th Grader, why not move new Lyrics to Monday 7:30pm? That doesn’t make sense to me.
What!!?? Non-ratings or not, our household was enjoying this season of ANTM! Surely just get through the season….no Network will have “momentum” leading into ratings so what does it matter!?
I’m not a fan of this one, but that’s four hundred thousand pissed-off viewers right there. Good going Ten. ISPs must love your work.
Seeing “Gone” in a TV Tonight RSS feed every second day makes following FTA TV feel like reading the death notices sometimes
all you can do these days is sigh *sigh*
