Eleven - Programs and Schedules

So Ten finally sorted out shit with Warner Bros and now have access to supernatural. Least it didn’t lapse never to be seen again.

So what is Eleven known for exactly? Think that’s a reasonable question.

General entertainment with primetime dedicated to the 16-39 demographic.

I’m aware what they say they are but the channel seems so scattergun and directionless most of the time. One does too, so Eleven isn’t alone.

I agree that news should still be on one of Tens channels. Why wouldn’t you want to promote Tens news service before, in between bbl games or at the end of a game! It’s just lazy getting rid of it just because there is a bbl game!

It was known for The Simpsons…

What I don’t get is that why don’t ten just rebrand eleven to a 24/7 classic comedy channel and move other programs like the loop and their kids shows to ten and just get it over and done with already

Even though CBS doesn’t have any reasons to protect Fox Sports unlike Murdoch, I can’t really see One going back to it’s original format as a sports channel anytime soon.

As a multichannel that’s aimed at a younger demographic than Ten’s main one, The Loop and the children’s programing probably works well for Eleven.

Neighbours? Although that show does have a fanbase, it hasn’t been massively popular in Australia for many years. Presumably the only reasons it’s even still in production is because of overseas markets and to top up Ten’s Australian content/drama quotas.

Yeah you’re right about neighbours that is a show that should definitely stay on eleven because it’s the only thing new that airs on eleven until January 16 when ten start airing new episodes of supernatural but what concerns me is that eleven dosent really have a strong schedule going into 2018 let’s face it the only reason why eleven still rates well is because of old repeats of will and grace as to your point about one I definitely understand that it will never be a sports channel ever again but I dont like the fact that one is a factual docos channel in my opinion it’s pointless if cbs is ever going to rebrand one which I think will never happen cbs should rebrand one to focous more on retro action and movies channel sourced from paramount studios because that’s why one pulls a reasonable share and still does well because of action not the factual docos like David attenbourgh which is repeated over and over again on one so that’s should be cbs strategy if Their ever going to rebrand one

48 Hours seems to do alright.

The documentaries also fit the demographic they are targeting.

if they do what they did overseas in asia cbs might just make eleven cbs entertainment which would add more tv shows on the schedule

Yeah they do some are men oriented documentaries and some are nothe like the david attenbourgh docos which in my opinion his shows that airs on one don’t really fit the demographic that ten is chasing for one so like I said in the above post if cbs was to ever rebrand one they should focus more on crime and action that fit the men demographic and less on the factual docos because the old NCIS and Hawaii five o repeats do really well and it pulls a 4 share for one

That would make a good channel and it would probably rate higher then what eleven is pulling right now

Returns with a double episode. January 15 at 8:30pm.

This is what I think Eleven and One should do:
Eleven: classic TV from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s similar to Me-TV in the US.
One: kids shows, Neighbours, newer shows that were previously on Eleven, US shows from CBS and Disney (now that Seven no longer has the output deal of ABC Studios/Disney), shows from the 2000s such as Desperate Housewives and Lost, crime shows such as 48 Hours and Homicide Hours to Kill.

That’s pretty much the set up on One and Eleven now except you want to move everything from One to Eleven and everything from Eleven to One???

what I said was that Eleven could concentrate exclusively to classic TV with a wider range of shows (mainly from CBS and Disney plus they could get other studios’ product cheap enough), the newer shows such as Neighbours, Will and Grace etc should move to One. And One should also be Ten’s overflow channel for sports and if an imported show fails to rate on Ten it could move to One. The kids shows should move to One as well.

A channel full of prehistoric content is not going to rate well. It’s fine the way it is now with channels skewing to certain audiences rather than ordered by eras.
