ABC2 might have had some kids programming during the afternoon. A shame, though typical, that it wasn’t listed.

This would’ve been the night the Seven Network experienced that weird audio malfunction where viewers heard a man say “Jesus Christ, help us all, Lord!”.

lol what? i don’t remember that was it country wide or just WA?
Someone can correct me on this, but i think it was network-wide.
Not sure it was the network, but I was watching through ATN that night, you are on the money, it ran repeatedly for a good while.

Technical woes hit Channel 7January 03, 2007 12:00
THE Seven Network has apologised to viewers after receiving complaints about
a major technical glitch which interrupted a prime-time transmission
tonight.The program, Mayday Head on Collision, which began airing at 7.30pm, was
interrupted for several minutes by an audio track.“It was an unfortunate technical error which was rectified as quickly as
possible,” a Seven Network spokeswoman said.“It only went to air in NSW and Victoria and the program resumed as soon as
the error was corrected.”The spokeswoman said the program’s vision went to air with different audio,
which included the words “Jesus Christ”.“It’s up to interpretation of exactly what was said, but we are working on
ensuring it doesn’t happen again,” the spokeswoman said.“We apologise to any viewers that were watching at the time.”

Today’s TV: 4 January 2010, Perth

Unusual to have 30 Rock being shunted at 11PM after the movie.
During the summer break, Channel 10 ran replays of 9am Summertime which shows highlights of the segments for the year. Ironically, 9am with David and Kim had ended production in Dec 2009.

Not unusual at all, unless you mean because they were repeats. But it was summer non-ratings period.

No it wasn’t, Seven aired most NBC comedies late at night during this period.

CSI: Miami should have aired before Mentalist on Nine.

So? CSI could have got higher ratings had it aired before The Mentalist. Mentalist still would have got good ratings.
And there’s probably the reason why debating scheduling decisions from 13 years ago is flawed.

It’s no use arguing with a mod. I think i might stop criticizing old guides. The decisions were the network’s decisions and although sometimes ludicrous, at the end of the day, it’s their choice.
We will never see these numbers again. Amazing to think this was 13 years ago

I’m not arguing. It’s a discussion.
I think if you recognise that The Mentalist was probably the newer show in 2010 and CSI Miami was 6 years old at that point, you can see why the newer show was given priority especially heading into the new season (I’m guessing these would perhaps repeats given the time of year)
