Originally due to premiere on GEM tomorrow night, Conan will now begin on Wednesday night instead.
A spokesperson for GEM advised TV Tonight there are some (frustrating) delays in relation to acquiring the programme from cable channel TBS as well as some issues with international clearances.
It hopes to resolve these and pursue same day / date broadcasts in coming weeks.
Episode 1 will now be seen 11:30pm Wednesday on GEM.

Don’t see why people are complaining about the musical clearence thing, most late night tv shows have their material finalised at the last minute, I doubt they take into account International rights considering it’s an American talk show generally discussing American issues.
We also know that record companies can be a total pain in the a*se to work with. (Re: Top Gear soundtrack selection outside of BBC)
yeah a 30+ hour delay
but maybe that was just for this first week?
possibly they could get their act together and be on time next week ..
Allow me everyone…
Give Coco back to the Comedy Channel.
still showed up in the program thing on my tv so I waited up to see a crappy ep of friends.
Gah. All day I’ve been looking forward to watching Conan! I didn’t realise it wasn’t on tonight. Lame, Channel 9, lame.
32 and a half hour delay for Conan on Gem? Really Gem, really? No thanks – I watch on the awesome ‘other means’ channel.
I just watched the first Conan episode today and really enjoyed it
yawn…
you blew it Yet again Nine
losers..
Going by my PVR it is:
Wed Ep 1 @ 11:30pm
Thu Ep 2 @ 11:30pm
Sat Ep 3 @ 0:15am (ie; just after Midnight Friday)
Sat Ep 4 @ 11:50pm
So all 4 are going to be shown by that and hopefully at those times (as I’ve set to record then).
I just hope this is not the start, surely they would have had this all sorted weeks id not months ago, They have known for a long time the shows start date, I agree stuff ups like this is one reason people turn to other sources for their TV shows.
The music clearance should not be an issue, if that is the problem and th reason for the delay.
Can someone explain how the international music clearance thing works?
They could just have an episode on the Monday to catch up since they’re not doing episodes on Friday nights that would normally be shown here on Monday.
Can. Not. Wait. woohoo! Go to hell NBC.
Boo! Boooo! yeah this is why ppl download and dont watch your crappy network 9.
It’s one day. Surely people can wait.
I did read on the barely credible TVauscast website that they will remain an episode behind as a result but surely they will play an episode over the first weekend to get in sync.
As long as we get all 4 this week, I’ll be happy…
Also, not sure when it happened, but I love the mobile version of the site, David…Looks brilliant on the iPhone!!!
Anyone who thinks of downloading a show like this every weekday must throw *wild* LAN parties.
I’m sure this delay is just temporary.
Boo 🙁
This is why people download.
Here we go…….
Must be an International Music Rights thing ??
And now everyone just fires up the alternative methods.
Gawn.
