Oops.. Regarding my previous comment about programming changes, with GO! no longer repeating shows during the following day.. I later saw that I had missed TV Tonight’s earlier post “GO! adjusts for school holidays”.

In such circumstances it would be great if a television network such as GO! would take 5 or 10 seconds in a short tv sting perhaps at midday when the schedule looks different to mention that programming changes are short-term and due to school holidays. I have no kids in my life, so I generally have no idea when the school holidays are in effect. I just assumed the worst… that someone from Channel Nine was messing with the GO! playlist. lol

It is really becoming clear to me who is running GO!…

Given my growing distrust of Channel Nine (the one that is always changing its spots) I wanted to hate GO! but I actually found myself watching it more often than not. Today I looked at the on screen EPG at midday when a second episode of Seinfeld started playing and realised they are no longer repeating all the shows from the previous night.. which sucks now that I was getting used to shifting my viewing around what suits best on different days..

I’m quickly getting over GO!.. If need be I’ll tell it to GO! away!!

Daniel, Nine still has the rights to series 5 of The Wire and hasn’t screened it yet. ABC has the rights to the first three series of The Wire.

It seems there were only 24 eps of The Jetsons in its original series from 1962-63. Nine doesn’t have the rights to the 80s versions so it actually gets a full playout at 6:30pm.

They will also be replayed elsewhere.

I was watching Fringe on GO!! the other night and I saw an ad for “The Wire” I don’t know how this show can be on GO!! when it is currently playing on ABC2. Could this be a mistake? it seems a little silly to have this show on two networks.

TMZ is an hilarious if you think of it as a comedy show, or sad if you think of it as a bunch of people employed to chase celebrities/ anyone slightly famous and spend half an hour mocking their every day lives

I think as long as people are watching Nine OR Go! , Nine are happy.
I think TMZ will be the better rater of TMZ and ET, and TMZ skews way younger than ET – so Go! is putting it against 16-39 timeslot winner Neighbours to try and damage it and Ten. makes sense.

so tmz use to be on at 6:30 before? is this the third change to the 6pm time-slot then?, doesn’t make much sense to move the flinstones to 6 when you know your just going to change it again in a 2 weeks.

So Nine isn’t content with messing up their own schedule, they are now turning GO into a finger-painting mess…

I guess you can’t teach an old dog… etc etc…

And I guess that’s the end of the cartoon hour that GO launched at 6pm just a few days ago? And it was good to have Seinfeld in a consistent timeslot at 8pm each weeknight. But of course it was too much to expect Nine to show some consistency with its new channel.

Perhaps they should change the logo to “GO?”

According to the post David made on the 15th July (“Nine confirms GO!99″) Curb Your Enthusiasm is going to on GO! eventually.

just saw an ad for weeds season 3 while watching moonlight, it is coming soon, perhaps in the october strong launch? i’ve also been wondering what will take the place of moonlight since it doesn’t last too long, maybe vampire diaries? although that timeslot might not open up in time for a decent fast track.
