Its easy – cancel your subscription, save some money and enjoy life away from the content. Cause that’s the problem the content is crap. But that’s all right – just go back to the box, settle in and tuck into some crisps and sodas.

Russell, I would assume the NBCU channels would be run locally by TV1 (as per Sci Fi).

I also imagine if this is the case then all the crime shows will disappear from TV1.

Not of these new cable networks are new and original Australian ideas.

13th St (NBCU) Kidsco (NBCU) Style Network (Comcast USA) Discovery Turbo Max, NatGeo Wild, Eurosports are all foreign channels already running in the US, UK, Asia, Europe etc.

I suspect that each channel won’t be an Australian operation (programmed and produced in oz) but rather a cheap foreign buy in off the satellite like E! and TCM are now.

Showtime obviously will run all the new Showtime networks, I think Starpics and FMC will be run by Movie Networks (all Australian operations) and LifeStyle YOU will be rn by XYX. But the rest will al be piped in from OS I would imagine.

It’s a shame Foxtel is not launching a good solid entertainment network. Like USA or TNT in the US. Those two are the highest rated cable nets in the US with a lot of original programming. Fox8 is mostly off-net programming.

This is teh interwebs and I must be angry.

Because you mentioned Girls of the Playboy Mansion airing uncensored locally here – and because it airs censored in the states I would have thought that all the censorship on the soup would be because it comes from the states with only a week or two delay.

Yes I have. The censoring is definitely from E! Australia. They have censored whole punchlines to jokes. The Soup wouldn’t put a joke to air that the audience won’t hear.

When you hear a word getting bleeped that is from the US edit, when the audio cuts out altogether, that is E! Australia’s work.

I am aware that Girls Of The Playboy Mansion is censored in the US but don’t see what your point is. It has been shown here uncensored in a 7.30 timeslot.
