I’d personally rather watch infomercials than “classic” AFL games …. Heck, I’d rather watch “classic” news broadcasts than either of them.

@Earthquake Not a fan of “the Victorian” game ey, where do you live, the year 1870?
As a proud Western Australian coming from a long tradition of Australian Football players and supporters over generations going back to the 19th Century, your comments offend me deeply.
Australian Football is a game played by all Australians not just Vics.

KFed: Your news bulletin rerun idea has merit.

Not rerunning, old news, but more rather rerunning that night’s 6pm news, with each capital’s 6pm service re-airing post midnight.

Home Shopping and that Hugh Sheridan – wow, a less than tremendous start to 7TWO – what else is there to make us switch off. Sheridan’s song is horrible, stick to something you may be good at.

I think ditching AFL all together, sorry but there is enough sport on all channels, we dont need *classic* AFL on an entertainment channel. Also infomercials should be kept for the main channels (if we really do need them at all). GO is some reprieve, and I think it’ll still be the main choice in my home!

As a night owl – to be fair, early morning owl would be more accurate – the best things about Go! is that they don’t show infomercials in the early hours. Seven (Two) should follow suit.
Oh, and also get rethink the massive block of old AFL. Maybe they could also play classic news bulletins? *cough*

@Tess1988

Each week, Mediaweek produce a podcast covering the television industry and what is happening. Recently, they had Seven’s director of programming and production, Tim Worner walk through the new 7TWO channel.

(By the way, it was a good listen, and very informative).

Tim said that the Jay Leno show being aired would be the same one that has just aired in the US – He also said that it would go to air on 7TWO about an hour before it does on the Foxtel Comedy channel i.e. the same episode.

Considering the podcast was only this week, not too sure as to why and/ or what the changes will be. Guess we will just have to wait as see…

OMG people……. 1 day a week of a 2 hrs of infomercials. Not a big deal at all. I’m wrapped there’s still 6 days of Classic AFL.

Daniel G – Hamish & Andy are on Leno again this coming week…. I reckon that’ll be the one they’ll show.

James!

Be good to see The Mole again, but Home Shopping. Bugger that. I thought this channel was meant to offer an alternative and sintead they go and fill it with hours of endless ads. Not a good move if you want peopel to watch.

Nice to see The Mole back on air again, it would be great if Seven decided to make a new series of this – but only with Grant Bowler, not Tom Williams.

Those of you in Prime territory aren’t missing much. 7TWO is an absolute letdown. Of course with the opportunity to show even more home shopping, Prime may just have the incentive to get it to air that much quicker.

that was no intro, it was just two of the promos they’ve been looping on 72 already, and hugh sheridan overload. I thought we’d atleast get tom williams telling us something new, what a waste of my time. I think the welcome they were refering to was just the countdown and that quiet voice that said “welcome to television” trying to echo the same statement from 50 years ago, it may have made some sense if they added the word “digital” into the sentence.

Please keep home shopping channel off 7TWO! As I said before, 7TWO should show NBC Today in full from midnight, and (for Perth viewers) Sunrise from 3am to 6am so that people won’t miss on parts of the show that are omitted due to sporting commitments (Melbourne Cup, tennis etc.).

Which Series of the mole is it?
