“Survivors ready? GO!”
From today GO! begins its signal on digital televisions, ahead of its ’soft-launch’ on Sunday night with an array of tasty titles.
TV Tonight spoke to Les Sampson, Nine’s Network Director of Multichannels about its programming.
GO! is structured similar to a subscription TV channel with ‘block’ programming from 3:30pm – 12am, which is repeated again the next day. The SD channel has been carefully programmed so as not to cannibalise Nine and to skew towards younger demographics.
“The model is designed so that we get maximum use of the available audience,” says Sampson.
“At …

Returning: Hell’s Kitchen
On Free to Air, he’s now only screening in Melbourne, but there’s new Gordon Ramsay coming back to the LifeStyle Channel next month.
Series 5 of Hell’s Kitchen will premiere at 8:30pm on Thursday June 11.
The fifth season premiered in the US in January 29, 2009, with 16 chefs. The winner gets an effing $250,000 prize and employment as head chef at a brand-new effing restaurant.
Programming hell for Hell’s Kitchen
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Hell’s Kitchen, is to vanish once more -this time in Sydney and Brisbane.
The show aired at 10:30pm on Tuesday after it wasn’t even on air last week.
UPDATED: Next week it airs at 11:30pm following a Budget Report at 10:30pm.
The week after it’s out due to Underbelly’s first season repeats. As Victoria can’t screen the crime drama right now, Victoria retains Hell’s on May 19th. For now anyway.
(NB: WIN- based Adelaide and Perth should be in sync with Sydney / Brisbane programming. Check …
Underbelly dropped for Ramsay
Legal proceedings in Victoria (again) have caused Nine to drop Underbelly from its schedule (again).
Nine will no longer be screening repeats of the first series of Underbelly in Melbourne on Tuesday nights after lawyers for an underworld figure have applied to the Supreme Court to stop the series.
Two edited episodes went to air on Tuesday.
But the news is better for fans of Gordon Ramsay (the remaining ones anyway) with Kitchen Nightmares USA in a 9:30pm timeslot. At 10:30 it’s Hell’s Kitchen already slated, that means two Ramsay episodes on May 5 …
Bumped: Hell’s Kitchen, Bridezillas
Try not to look surprised.
Next week Hell’s Kitchen will screen at 10:30pm on Tuesday night, replaced by a new episode of 20 to 1.
Bridezillas is out.
A week later, April 28th, both Ramsay and Bridezillas are out because Nine is planning Underbelly Uncut, a repeat screening from the first series beginning withe the first two episodes from 9:30pm.
These will screen on Nine in Sydney, Brisbane. Melbourne won’t get the uncut version.
New eps of 20 to 1 continue on Thursdays. Bert must have racked up a lot of lists, but the show did …
Gordon Ramsay fails to sizzle
Media commentators were all saying it ahead of his screening.
Last night, Hell’s Kitchen failed to set Nine’s oven on fire.
Only 625,000 viewers tuned in for the reality cooking show, thumped by TEN’s repeat of NCIS on 1.38m viewers.
Seven aired different movies in different cities which totalled 585,000 viewers.
TEN stormed home with a huge share of 31.3% over Seven’s 24.55 and Nine’s 24.1%.
Unless he can film a locally-produced series it seems viewers are well and truly over the swearing chef.
