Thank God You’re Switched

By David Knox on June 12, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 15

shanebourne2Seven has made a switcheroo on Ghost Whisperer and Thank God You’re Here for Wednesday June 24th / Thursday June 25th due to Nine’s State of Origin match in the Sydney and Brisbane markets.

Normal programming continues in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Last time a match played Seven withheld Thank God entirely.

Instead it has opted for a Thursday night screening on June 25 at 7:30pm in Sydney and Brissy. The episode features Anh Do, Julia Zemiro, Colin Lane and, in his first appearance, Adam Hills.

The switcheroo also means Hills will be competing with himself in ABC2′s usual 8pm Thursday repeat of Spicks and Specks.

    I just saw an ad here (Regional QLD) and it had TGYH on at it’s usual Wednesday time not Thursday.

    Mydoona, at least they promote it and they are showing it in a good timeslot

    unlike 24, prison break, lost etc

    I have still yet to see a promotion for prison break and i watch tonnes of 7 shows.

    Seven treats ‘Ghost Whisperer’ like crap so I am glad I don’t bother to watch them when they play on Seven, How do they think they are going to keep an audience when they change the day and times of a show every other week.
    Thankgod for Foxtel I say!

    For me I get to watch Rules of Engagement that night without having to record it due to Ghost Whisperer.

    Smart move. It means those of us who don’t care about SOO have normal TV to watch.

    It’s a very smart move by Ch7, Cause ‘Spicks & Specks’ on Thursday night rates extremely poor. and Ch7 would head for defeat if it went head-2-head with State of Origin. so if other 2/10/SBS were smart they would hold thier best rating shows on a Wednesday Night hold off until Thursday it would a very interesting Thursday Night ratings Night

    I hope they let people clearly know the change, as many might see the ads and not notice the change of day.

    I think this is a smart move.
    Thanks for the info David. I’m particularly interested to see Adam Hills.

    i agree very clever… should also provide a nice lead in to greys in sydney and brisbane whitout having any effect on any other state.

    Thats clever to switch days and stuff ……..
    now lets see if Seven are clever enough to announce a start date for their 2nd sd channel

    Earthquake – all states see the same episodes of TGYH and Ghost Whisperer in that week. It’s just that Sydney/Brisbane have TGYH on Thursday, GW on Wednesday.

  14. Earthquake June 12, 2009 at 5:45 pm -

    So does that mean Syd/Bris get to see this ep later on – or will be out of synch with the Southern states?

    Very strange.
