Yes, there was an announcement made, but no-one thought it worth mentioning

Fox are probably waiting until the CBS take over to decide where Simpsons end up. I think it was said that Ten/CBS are still keen on doing a deal with Fox.

Sure. Foxās sole purpose in negotiations is to decide where The Simpsons end up.

Despite (?) the loss of Fox programming, Eleven is still doing well in audience share. Last week it recorded its highest shares for the year in all three younger demos.

I have noticed that the second episode of Will and Grace features in the top 5 of the 18-49 and 25-54 demos on each night its on. I am sure that helps.

Will and Grace is doing very well so far, but can it retain the audience for multiple repeat airings like classic shows such as The Simpsons or Seinfeld? What else do they have to show? Frasier/Becker/Raymond/Rules arenāt going to cut it for 7.30 prime slotsā¦

Yeah it wonāt last. Thereās only so many comedy specials to go around.
Strassman is on tomorrow night. Thatās a name I havenāt heard since he had a show on Nine (in the 90s?)

Just saw that Eleven have started showing triple episodes of Medium 8:30 Mondays, starting from the last episode of season 5. Another 3 are scheduled next week. No doubt CBSās influence. Maybe they will finally get around to showing the last season, 6 years after the show finished.

How so? 
More likely somebody remembered it was sitting on the shelf gathering dust and they had no other content they could schedule. Iām surprised the rights hadnāt run out by now.
Wrong content for a supposedly younger skewing (primetime) channel.
The cupboard is so bare itās getting ridiculous. Without the FOX deal, Eleven needs to be relaunced into something else.
You donāy relaunch your channel every time you make changes with overseas content providers, We donāt need another Viceland debacle.
This is the same Eleven that has held itās 2.5% share from 2016 yeah? Clearly going terribly.

If you remember the Eleven channel launch promo, it was primarily based around The Simpsons (taken from the episode with the wall of surveillance TVs). Along with Neighbours, it was one of the two shows the channel was built around. Now it is gone of course they should reposition the channel.
If I remembered correctly, the final season of Medium was shown in full earlier this year.

You make it sound like Eleven was defined by The Simpsons and nothing else. 
You guys really canāt get over The Simpsons being dropped.
The show was originally cancelled by NBC and then moved to CBS for seasons 6 and 7. Which is why I mentioned CBS as the final two seasons would have been included in the CBS contract.
All seasons were distributed by Paramount then CBS. Change of US domestic network had no bearing.
I just stated the fact that it was one of the channelās two key programs at launch, and its departure along with the other Fox programming changes the identity/demographic of the channel so itās time for a refresh of the on-air presentation to match the new content.
And whatās the ānewā content that warrants a relaunch?
They have new programs starting up every so often. There hasnāt been a relaunch for any of those.
until they sort out their program supply deals they donāt have any new content to speak of as yet
