We’re Still waiting for Season 6 of New Girl to Arrive, maybe beef up the Episodes and air them on Saturday Nights???
You do get the feeling that Ten is really just phoning it in with Eleven and One. The supposed “youth” channel leads into its evenings with a double doses of Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier. And I’d even debate that Malcolm In The Middle is not exactly on-brand, either.
Then on Thursday nights they dish up a binge session of Sex And The City.
Eleven debuted with such promise and clearly I’m outside of the target demographic but it just seems to be mostly filler aimed at people older than its supposed target demographic.

We get Acropolis Now for some reason here in Central Qld . No Malcolm . Not sure of the reasons for that.
Wonder when Bob’s Burgers will be coming, are they going to wait until the whole season ends in the USA i wonder.

Seeing that you’re in Central QLD & that WIN is the Ten affiliate, here’s the reason:
WIN owns Crawfords, who produced the show, which originally aired on the Seven Network.
Yeah I know but surely that doesn’t rate better than Malcolm in the Middle.
Probably not, but it lets WIN plug its dvd release of Acropolis Now?
Last week, Eleven was the number two multichannel in 16-39, just behind 7Mate (that is boosted by its AFL content in Perth). It had a higher audience share in that age group than ABC’s and SBS’s main channels.
I really can’t imagine how it manages that. Neighbours and The Simpsons and the occasional movie probably propping up the rest of the channel?
It was also the number one multichannel in the 9am-6pm daytime period in 16-39 as well as total people possibly suggesting an audience for some of the ‘retro’ shows perhaps.

Who knew there was a big market for JAG and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman reruns among the younger adults??

In some ways the networks don’t really don’t want well performing multi-channels despite early expectations. They would rather the bulk of the younger audience was watching the main channel where their big franchises run and can be monetised better.
I would argue that those shows are aimed at the higher end of the 16-39 demo. Those who grew up watching those shows in their teens and early 20’s, would now watch the reruns in their late 20’s and 30’s.
clearly I should never be a TV programmer

New Australian children’s show Random and Whacky premieres this Sunday (June 4) at 10am.
Seems like Ten/Eleven don’t do much to promote their new local content.
