Seriously what is TEN doing late night on Thursdays? Last week they had a replay of Thursday Night Live from ONE HD at 11:15, this week Bet24/7 followed by TNL pushing new Letterman back to 12:45 am Friday morning!
Is this in preparation for the loss of ONE digital for ch11 next year?
@Craig: the season finale of Lie to Me will be shown next Wednesday.
@vinny – that’s bound to happen, maybe they need a 4th channel for the shows that don’t work on the other ones LOL
I am being pessimistic, but does anyone agree that once 7 mate begins, GO! will start mucking about with their new schedule to win the ratings ..
expect all the new shows to be dropped or moved to other timeslots ?
@ Paul – Thursday 23 Sept at 1pm
The Bachelorette After the Final Rose Special
sick of all this home shopping during the night, from 2am-3:30am on thursday mornings there is home shopping on 99, 9, 10, 7, 72 and 22, 23, 32 and 3 are shut down for the night. There is sport on 1 which is of no interest and the shows on 2 at that hour are usually uninteresting, the only refuge is 24. All these digital channels but no diversity.
David what’s up with the main page and all the Vap love?
Good to see the Bachelorrette Final coming soon, but gave GO! decided to stop airing the Final Rose episodes? It aired once, but then the previous Bachelore didnt show the episode and now this dosent look like it will show it. Esp since it only happend in June, you would think that GO! would at least show it…
Okay I normally don’t watch ‘Lie To Me’ on TEN but decided to tune in to the season 2 final only to find it was a re-run of the first ep from S2, what happened?
The printed guide said it was the final, when is/was the final?
@Sam — You win my vote for funniest post of the week!
Sorry I mean the premiere for Stand Up to Cancer will be at midday AEST on September 11.
Stand Up to Cancer, an one-hour American TV event that raising funds to accelerate innovative cancer research bringing new therapies to patients quickly and which Delta Goodrem will perform in alongside Dave Stewart from Eurythmics, will be shown on E! channel on Foxtel and Austar on Saturday September 11 at 10am AEST and replayed at 9.30pm AEST.
Does anyway know when Ironchef Australia or even My Kitchen Rules will be starting on 7?
Does anyone know anything about the timeslot for the new season of Community on GO? It won’t be 8:30 Mondays … er ..for obvious reasons…
David , do you know anything about Nine’s third channel ?
In regards to Pyramid, for me the chidren’s series Snake Tales aired in it’s place, following a special news bulletin about the government of Australia.
Matty Johns to be seen in Melbourne? (on 7 TWO). I hope they know who he is.
I was just wondering if The Vampire Diaries Season 2 was on GO! on Monday at 8:30. I’ve looked all over the site and can’t see any information on it.
Wow. Check out TVtonight and the first thing I saw was loads and loads of advertising for The Vampire Diaries!
Tonight during ‘Beat the Star’ Seven finally aired a promo for The Event, no dates or anything but it’s a good sign given the show with air in the US is less than 2 weeks.
Only half of ET was shown.
Gotta love today’s date – 7/9/10 – a special event. Seriously.
Pyramid didn’t air today it seems-at 4 ET came on.
Just watching some Ready Steady Cook on Ten for the first time in ages. What is with the fake enthusiam and suprise when they tell the crowd what they are cooking, or what they are taking out of the bag? It is so lame and annoying!
It could be just me but ABC’s new promo for their Wednesday night line-up with it’s swinging images makes me nauseous… someone has gone overboard with the new software!
With just 2 weeks before The Event is the premier in the US do we have an air date on Seven yet David?
Also while I’m here I read on another forum that Top Gear will not be back until Jan or Feb 2011, there was no likes to a story so I don’t know if it was true, David do you know anything?
Channel Seven has announced its schedule for this year’s AFL Grand Final day. It will begin with the traditional all-night Grand Final Marathon on late Friday night, however this year it will now be joined by Weekend Sunrise broadcast live from Melbourne’s Federation Square. It will be followed by the North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast, the Grand Final edition of AFL Game Day, and then pre-match entertainment and the actual match.
Channel 7 (Prime in Canberra) are an absolute disgrace with a delayed telecast of the St Kilda v Geelong AFL final this evening.
They have three different channels here and insist on showing the same old rubbish.
And they have the cheek to run anti syphoning ads about losing live sport to pay tv.
Utter hypocrites.
And with St Kilda likely to play a night preliminary final in a fortnight there is every chance that there will be no live St Kilda matches until the grand final.
Brisbane people are lucky to get any Monk. The last Adelaide got was Season 5 on TenHD. Because we are a bogan AFL state, football has to replace anything of quality to entertain the masses who have the need to watch it live.
@ Tasmanian Devil
I’m on the Gold Coast (same as Brisso tho), the last episode of Monk that channel 10 aired was “Mr. Monk and the Voodoo Curse”, which is episode 7 of 16 from season 8 and it was aired on August 28.
So I repeat… Where’s the rest of the series?
@ Bazza – It finished up to the end of the final season several weeks ago in NSW, QLD and Tas, although Tas generally only got every second ep due to the AFL being shown. I’m not sure if you are referring to that, or if you are in another state.
@ BruceS – Monday the 13th is correct, 10.30pm.
sunday night movies are coming to nine, kicking off with the premiere of ‘Iron Man’ on Sunday September 12th @ 8.30pm
Monday is the 13th, Tuesday is the 14th.
Which is the correct date for Gossip Girl?
“Coming Soon – Gossip Girl 10:30pm Mon Sept 14 GO!”
@ Bre Saxs
The presenter is Mia Freedman
I am currently watching Kerri-Anne on channel 9, where a brown-haired female in a pink top is presenting in Kerri-Anne’s place. Could someone please let me know who she is?
I also would like to know when new episodes of South Park will be resuming on SBS?
So umm, what happened to Monk on Saturday evenings? It’s halfway through the season. Is it gone, or just postponed?
Modern Family has done a disappearing act midweek as well… Do these people set out to annoy their customers deliberately?
Hi, wondered if the airdate for the third series of Ashes to Ashes has been announced? Or if there’s any news regarding an airdate. Thanks.

posting for the lulz.
who were they kidding!
AFHV this Saturday in Brisbane/Gold Coast starts at 7:30 instead of 6:30 (9 has a Brisbane Riverfire special at 6:30).
Why do the network insist on putting promos or sneak peeks on right before new shows start? Tonight Nine did it with their new Cop show, 2 weeks ago TEN did the same with their new Sunday night show ‘Married Single Other’ and we’ve have seen it before ‘Rescue Special OPS’ and probably a few other recent show. I mean if your watching the promo you’re already interested in the show so why air in right before the program? On top of that ‘COPS L.A.C.’ started 9 or 10 minutes late so my make it even later?
As for the new Cop show since when have any Australian police cars had markings like that? is it a TV thing? And the action and drama was a little over the top IMO. Also isn’t it the MEs responsibility to check dead bodies for ID or have I watched too many US cop shows?
@ Craig … thanks for the reply to my earlier question.
That’s is a problem for SC viewers, same thing happened when ONE was launched, things like WRC moved to ONE with no re-runs on TEN.
FYI it looks like The Ellen DeGeneres Show will be back with the new season starting Sept 13 (should be the 14th here if Nine and Arena are back on form) wow how long have they been in re-runs?
One thing I want to know is when will Arena be going 16:9, I emailed them and was told they don’t or can’t do it until their satellite equipment or something is upgraded for the closed caption service or something. It’s also the reason ET and some other ‘live’ shows are not in wide screen on Arena and W yet.
it seems unlikely that southern cross ten viewers will get channel eleven next year, which sucks. according to reports it could be a good six months after before it happens. i could see problems especially for fans of neighbours. ( i dont watch it)
FYI Swingtown is returning Monday night after Letterman (so Tuesday morning at about 12am) it replaced re-runs of Burn Notice… lucky i caught that in the printed guide, so they are useful some times.
Don’t recall seeing anything on Stand Up to Cancer listed.
The cast for the new season of the amazing race just got announced on the cbs website
stop changing the damn lounge David, this one looks way too big and old.
David, do you know if any Australian network (free-to-air or pay TV) is interested in showing Stand Up to Cancer, an one-hour TV event that raising funds to accelerate innovative cancer research bringing new therapies to patients quickly? It will be simulcast on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, plus 13 cable stations on September 10 (September 11 in Australia). Our own Delta Goodrem has confirmed she will perform in the event, and stars including Christina Applegate, Lance Armstrong, Jim Parsons, Natasha Bedingfield, Mandy Moore, Eric Stonestreet, Fran Drescher, Sharon Osbourne, David Boreanaz, Seth MacFarlane and many more will appear.
ABC2 has UK repeats 10pm Sundays.
David, which version of the office is airing on sunday night (from this week) @ 10pm? Is it the UK or US Version?
@ caz – I doubt Nine will show them (maybe over summer) as they don’t rate very well
Does anyone know how many episodes of Four Weddings there will be? I know C7 has it scheduled in to start for next week – Thanks!
Please note there could be some minimal disruption today (Wed Sept 1) due to maintenance work on server btw 2pm-4pm AEST. Apologies for any inconvenience.
No word on CSI: NY.
@Lyn – Eleven will be SD, replacing ONE SD… but you’ll need a HD TV or set top box to watch 7Mate and 9s 3rd channel, which will be taking over their HD channels.
Has Nine given any word on when they’re planning to show first-run CSI:NY episodes, David?
@vinny – I can assure you that a double episode of CSI was not advertised in Sydney. I was away for the weekend and was relying on my recorder to tape as I was travelling home at the time. David did say there would be a double episode this Sunday, but nothing was mentioned about last Sunday.
I have a question about channel 11.
Is it SD or do you have to buy a new HD tv to view it?
Tasmania will not be getting any of the 3rd channels for the foreseeable future I just found out.
Would you believe it ! The x factor is now playing till 8.30am this morning on Seven Two !
According to a good source, The Middle will not be on this Sunday… 4 eps of Big Bang instead and apparently it comes back the following week (so they say). I thought this show did well in ratings…. can’t think why they are doing this…. oh wait…
Because they can!
DWTS no word for 2011. Not on again this year.
Saw a new promo for season 2 of Glee on Ten tonight. The clip said at the end that Glee would return in September, which indicates Ten is planning to fasttrack the first two episodes of season 2 (which begins in the US on September 21) before the Commonwealth Games.
