@ gasbo, Fringe was programmed 8.30 wednesday before 7TWO came along. Not Go who put it against Heroes, Channel 7 put Heroes against Fringe.

Interesting it is Seven and Nine vying for a win in 18-49 for the year, seeing it is Ten’s target demographic.

Any news on the 25-54 and 16-39 demos year to date, are they as close?

@Steve: I totally agree with you and all programmers of the major commercial channels should go. They’re all absolutely rubbish and don’t know how to hang on to regular viewers but are happy surviving on event programming.
Australian television is rubbish and is pushing viewers into downloading TV Shows direct from the country of origin (unless they don’t mind waiting 3-5 years).

All Australian TV programmers should be fired immediately.

This is the worst country in the world to watch FTA TV. You never know what’s going to be on until you sit down and watch it. I bet TV in Africa and Asia is a lot better than here.

Who cares? Most folks in AU have seen Fringe season 1 anyway and are up-to-date with season 2, not to mention the nut-case GO! programmers putting episodes of Fringe season 1 up against the latest season of Heroes (Volume 5 Redemption) on 7Two, also which most folks have seen. Even TEN’s effort to get Stargate Universe on commencing 14 December (The Silly Season) has been seen by most Stargate fans in AU. Too little too late.

The mention of Oztam boxes makes me wonder how many people here have a box (probably not a good idea to out yourself publicly) and how do you get on the list to get one?

Shame my TiVo & IQ2 don’t send info back to Oztam despite the internet functionality (active on TiVo and not activated on IQ2).

Could this also be why Seven have scrapped Ghost Whisperer this Thursday. There was an ad on tonight advertising a holiday travel show on Thurs 7:30pm. Is this true? because i love GW.

Thanks for the heads up David. I was planning to watch 300 (which i haven’t seen before) when it was originally scheduled for Sunday night.. then this Saturday night.. Now I’ll know to set the recorder for 9.30 Wednesday night..

Actually.. this causes a predicament.. I generally record City Homicide but that’ll run late. Guess I’ll have to watch that and catch Hungry Beast on Thursday. Ahhh, decisions..

some people’s EPG’s don’t update to reflect changes, so they will be left wondering what is happening instead of watching programs.

Funny this is the 4th time the movie 300 has been rescheduled

Yes next week.

Also: it’s a GO! change, so bit harsh to bring 7TWO into the equation.

Next week on Thursday (Dec 3) there are 3 eps of Drop Dead Diva planned, has this changed? I know this is outside the ratings period but you never know.

@Daniel – David is talking about Jan 1st 2009 for the 2nd SD channels we now have.

With TEN planning a 3rd channel I have to wonder what Nine and Seven will do with their HD services. Here in QLD they are still re-building the HD and have been since GO! wen on the air.
