  1. The word “Event” is waaaay overused by Seven and Nine now. As soon as a promo uses the word “Event” it is almost like a signal to avoid it…

    And how many “biggest night of TV this yeeeaaar” have there been so far this year?

  2. Nine’s “Event” television needs more events. With a few notable exceptions, this years TV schedule, for all the commercial networks, is a copy of last years and the year before, the same repeated dramas, movies and even some footy matches and game shows. Shows move from network to network and are then advertised as “premiere”. I wonder how many TV bosses actually watch their own channels without using the Fast-Forward button?

    1. Nine has been quite bullish about its schedule this year and so far only Last Resort has been a failure. MAFS & The Voice have performed in the market, with the former notably impacting MKR. Hot Seat needs addressing but is not in primetime. At least tonight they are launching something new.

  3. Another disappointing week for nine, but hats off to seven, they seem to be able to pull being number one again, nine have certainly lost there way with viewers since the Kerry Packer days.

    1. Agreed! Nine is just a “Sausage machine” now, when back in the Packer Days, you sort of could feel the “family” vibe of the network. I dunno why, maybe it was the combo of its famed stable of stars, depth of programming, excellent and clever on-air promotions. It’s all a bit “me too” now, generic and boring.
