Still can’t believe the other bvod services haven’t added a ‘start over’ button to the live streams of their broadcast channels. I think it’s underrated!

It’s useful but it is missing in my view a required feature the ability to seek to a particular point in the show. For example if there is a issue and your connection drops out about say 20 minutes into Nine’s Sydney news with Peter Overton and the program overall hasnt finished yet you can’t seek to where you were watching you have to start over again from the beginning. It should work like on YouTube Live Stream whereby you can seek to any point. Obviously block seeking for ads when they appear and possibly have a pre roll. I haven’t used the function for a few months but I don’t think it has changed much.

I think the idea is Nine would prefer you to watch the whole program and its ads, essentially ‘as-live’. It’s still a live stream, rather than ‘on-demand’. But yes, I know what you mean and agree, it is annoying.

I was wondering why BBC Earth went missing over a week ago. Fetch still carries the proper subscription version of it, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was deemed unnecessary to have both available in the same market. Weird there’s no mention of it though.
CBeebies would surely be next in line to pop up.
Nine also seems to be positioning 9Now more like a pay TV-style offering these days… almost as if they’re compensating for a certain missed opportunity to acquire a particular provider—but who really knows?
9NOW ENTERS ITS ‘FLEX’ ERA: AUSTRALIA’S FIRST MICRO-REALITY OBSESSION HAS ARRIVED
SPECIAL SNEAK PEEK AVAILABLE ON 9NOW
FULL ACCESS EPISODES DROP EVERY FRIDAY FROM FRIDAY, APRIL 24
Ditch the oat flat white and cancel your pilates session: 9Now has officially joined the FLEX movement, dropping full access episodes of Australia’s first micro-reality series weekly from Friday, April 24.
FLEX is the ultimate, zero-filter masterclass in surviving Sydney’s most affluent areas, following the lives of seven young, good-looking strivers navigating the “fake it till you make it” reality of Bondi and its high-life coastal surrounds.
In a world where the party-girl lifestyle has traded places with pre-dawn fitness culture, FLEX pulls back the curtain on the gruelling hustle required to stay hot, stay relevant, and stay in the game. In this modern environment, your abs are your CV and your community is your competition.
Meet the Strivers:
- MARCUS (30): A former British Army soldier who survived a near-fatal attack, Marcus is now Australia’s highest-paid male escort, trapped by a paycheck he can’t walk away from.
- SARAH (33): A former gymnast, pushing her body to breaking point to find “the big break”. She is intensely driven and adventurous and currently navigating life after getting out of a six-year open relationship.
- HENRY (27): A loveable British larrikin, Henry models himself on superheroes, but often leaves the house in mismatched socks. Founder of the Bondi Softies, a Tuesday sand run, he is determined to become the fastest man on soft sand.
- RYAN (30): From playing junior football for the Sydney Roosters to chasing bobsledding in Canada, this former apprentice heavy diesel mechanic is now a PT and online coach, rebounding from a failed $25,000 skincare business venture.
- WILLOW (24): A self-described “gym addict” and unfiltered truth-teller who transformed her life with a 20kg weight loss, and is now attempting to scale her coaching business into a global brand.
- MARIA (27): Brazilian-born Maria traded a life of privilege for the high-energy grind of Bondi. She recently ditched her 9-to-5 and is facing a reality check: no job and an expensive lifestyle to fund. The plan? Turn her art hobby into a career.
- BEN (22): Fresh from the UK, Ben is trading his elite rugby dreams for Bondi’s smoothie scene. Hoping to start a business that merges fitness with partying, he is confident that making connections in the Eastern Suburbs will help bring this to life.
FLEX is a social-first vertical series, with 1-2 minute daily micro-episodes dropping with zero filters on Instagram and TikTok (@FLEX_the_series). However, the full story unfolds on 9Now, where 22-25 minute weekly episodes capture the setbacks, the aspirations and the unfiltered reality of a place where the hustle never sleeps.
Because for every aspiration there’s a setback – and in Bondi, the price of the climb is usually more than your rent.
FLEX is produced by Ronde Media.

DEDICATED ‘TARONGA’ CHANNEL LAUNCHES ON 9NOW
IT’S WILD ADVENTURES 24/7
A new, free Taronga 24/7 FAST channel dedicated entirely to the award-winning series Taronga: Who’s Who in the Zoo has launched on 9Now.
Viewers can now stream non-stop action from Taronga Zoo in Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo around the clock, reliving all the highs and lows of caring for more than 5,000 residents from over 350 species at both zoos.
The FAST channel documents remarkable milestones and veterinary achievements, from the grand relocation of Taronga’s last two Asian elephants, Pak Boon and Tang Mo, to critical dental work on Maya the lioness, and full health checks for the 21-strong chimpanzee community.
No habitat is off-limits. The channel will showcase the high-stakes sedation of 5.5 metre-tall giraffe Jimiyu, a world-first elephant eye surgery, and the celebration of a giant tortoise’s 103rd birthday.
Viewers will also experience the full spectrum of Taronga’s wildlife care, from the emergency rescue of an emaciated baby platypus to vital conservation work in the field, including koala health surveys deep in the Blue Mountains.
From tracking the journey of an orphaned sugar glider to the historic birth of the zoo’s first lion cub in nearly 20 years, the new channel is a round-the-clock salute to the tireless efforts of the extraordinary veterinary and keeping teams at Taronga.
