Yes another great NZ show, Step Dave is following the same pattern as Westside, 1 or 2 episodes each night. The difference is Step Dave has finished S2 (and sadly the show)
Todayâs lineup
###2016 CREDIT UNION CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
SATURDAY 12 NOVEMBER AT 10.30AM ON 9GEM
Kate Collins and Brenton Ragless return to host Adelaideâs most magical day of the year in the 2016 Credit Union Christmas Pageant live around the country from 10.30am on 9GEM.
Jessica Braithwaite will bring you all the colour and joy from the streets of Adelaide, as she reports on her first ever Pageant adventure, accompanying the float Jolly and Jingles before finally welcoming Father Christmas to Adelaide as he takes up residence in the Magic Cave.
Creative Director of the Credit Union Christmas Pageant, Brian Gilbertson, says this yearâs Pageant is all about a world where magical characters and adventures become the everyday.
âEveryone is encouraged to unwrap the magic of the Credit Union Christmas Pageant and look out for this yearâs new floats, Stardust Castle and Nutcracker Christmas Ballet which are sure to become crowd favourites,â he says.
Adding to the excitement, will be a special performance from the wonderful and talented cast from Matilda: The Musical, assisted by the Australian Girlsâ Choir, which is sure to sparkle.
Anyone noticed 9Gemâs pretty ordinary performance this year?
YTD share is equal to Eleven and even behind ONE, 7Two and 7Mate are well in front! Only channels worse are the new ones - 9Life & 7Flix 
What programming changes/things can be done to fox it?
Perhaps no Ashes cricket & poor NRL figures in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth are to blame?
The channel hasnât gone unnoticed this year.

Iâd say that GEM has always had pretty ordinary figures.
Iâd completely relaunch it with a new target audience (and basically a new name too lol) if I had the option.

Yeah, I donât think that GEM/9Gem has ever rated that well apart from when thereâs been things like The Ashes from England on.
A full relaunch of the channel to target a new demographic (and moving the sports coverage to 9Go!) probably wouldnât be the worst idea in the world.

programming alert
In memory of the recently passed Sir. Roger Moore, 9Gem will air âThe Spy Who Loved Meâ at 8:30pm.
One of the greatest James Bond films & certainly his best

Edit: For 100 year olds?

How long has 9Gem been showing Harry? They may as well buy Jerry Springer and Maury (all from NBC Universal) that would be a decent daytime lineup.
A month or two now.

9Gem airing new factuals (Airport Security, et al.) from tonight.
Tapping into the success of Border re-runs, etc. on 7Two? 
Time to overhaul the presentation of this channel. It looks so dated.

Arguably the most disappointing performing channel.

The week just gone 9Gem beat 7flix, Eleven and 9Life, and on Saturday it was third after 7mate and 7TWO. SBS Food and Viceland are by far the worst.
