2013-01-11_1902Recently voted the Best Multichannel by TV Tonight readers, ELEVEN turned two yesterday.

A Publicity Release gives us some indication of what to expect in coming months:

Celebrating its second birthday today, ELEVEN is looking forward to another year of the best kooky, cool and kitsch TV from home and around the globe. Back in 2013 with a whole swag of new programming, we kick things off with the hotly anticipated series American Horror Story: Asylum. Later in the year, we’ll be trying to land a few lonely celebrities a date in The Choice hosted by Cat Deeley, and we’ll also be breaking out the tissues for the last season ever of The Office US.

For our Sci-Fi enthusiasts, ELEVEN remains the best place to get your Kling-on. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine gets its digital TV premiere this year, and the People’s Choice Award-winning Supernatural comes back with fresh episodes on Monday 21 January.

Animation Fixation continues to be one of ELEVEN’s most popular line-ups, and with new episodes of Futurama, The Cleveland Show and Bob’s Burgers it is set to light up mid-weeknights through the new year.

Representing Australia, the highest-rating local series on digital TV, Neighbours, returns to weeknights on ELEVEN and this year and we’re crossing fingers for a big Karl and Susan reunion. Saturday mornings are the home of musical street cred with the guys on The Loop, and Couch Time will continue to have us laughing through the afternoons with Labby and Stav.

The twos at ELEVEN are going to be smashing – no tantrums, just great tele.

No sign of Nurse Jackie or Californication it seems, while new Simpsons will undoubtedly be returning to TEN.

  1. Here is what i would do if i was running 11. 1) i would put the most recent content in terms of age in primetime or closer to prime time and mix it with the new content. 2) i would use more of the CBS back catelogue of programing especially the spelling Content. 3) i would have afternoon kids block of programming, stacked full of Nickelodeon content (if Ten still have that output deal) and 4) Themed nights are the only thing which is successful for 11 ie Animation Fixation, so a SciFi night would be great no jut Star Trek i would have Buffy/Angel,Battlestar Galactica and X Files. Also commedy needs to be more vaired not just Raymond double episodes, what about 3rd Rock from the Sun and other commedies. 11 is for the youth its needs to have content which the youth can relate to (changes in lingo and fashion and technology not withstanding) kids and youth still have the same issues to worry about its just that they are in different forms now.

  2. Californication season 6 that’s started in the US, has Tim Minchin in it for most of the season, but Eleven haven’t even shown all of season 5, so don’t hold your breath to see it anytime soon.
