If it’s a mock schedule for WIN Weekdays.
6AM - The Talk
7AM - Crawford’s classics (rpt)
8AM - WIN All Australian News
8:30AM - Studio 10
12 NOON - Dr Phil
1PM - Matlock (rpt)
2Pm - Young and the Restless (new eps or rpt)
3PM - Judge Judy
3:30PM - Entertainment Tonight (new) - rpt on WIN Peach at 7AM
4PM - Cooking SHow
4:30PM - Bold and the Beautiful (new)
5PM - 10 News First
6PM - WIN News (Mackay, Mildura, TAS, SA and REgional WA will get Celebrity Name Game)
6:30PM - The Project
7:30PM - Masterchef Australia/Bachelor/Survivor/Bachelorette
8:40PM - Gogglebox/HYBPA
9:45PM - Drama Show
To mix things up on breakfast for 9, I’d do something a little different and see if it might improve raitings.
5-6am Early Today, merge Nine News Early Edition with the first half hour of Today. Lara Vella or Julie Snook and Tom Steinford in the Today show set.
6-7am Today Local News - As people wake up, local News, Sport, Weather and Traffic as it affects you on your way out the door.
7-9am Today - Current format with local news every half hour like Today Perth News. Could remove Tony Jones and have Tom as a third Co-Host.
9-11am Today Extra - Current format
11am Nine Morning News
I like the idea of
5am: Early Today
6am: Today
9am: Later Today
Used to follow that naming format in the U.S. and sounds better than Today Extra. Plus combining the first 1/2 hour and the early news is a good idea.
10 for 2020:
5:00 10 News First (local for weekends)
6:00 The Project (90 minutes because the show is too fast and always have to cut off last guest. Extension allows more to be covered)
7:30 As follows
First week of January-End of March:
I’m a Celebrity (Sunday-Thursday)
Australian Survivor (Sunday-Tuesday after Celebrity): Survivor takes over new slot to target new demographic different from MAFS, Midweek Live with Rove (Wednesday), Bachelor in Paradise (Thursday)
May-July
Masterchef (Sunday-Thursday)
August-October
Sunday Night Takeaway (Sunday), DWTS (Monday), Taboo (Tuesday), Bachelor (Wed-Thurs)
October-Christmas
Sunday Night Takeaway (Sunday), The Masked Singer (Monday-Tuesday), Bachelorette (Wednesday-Thursday)
Saturday 7:30pm (all year)
Ambulance Australia/One Born Every Minute/Bondi Rescue/Overseas factuals
Still thinking of 8:30pm shows so any suggestions is welcome.
Christmas-I’m a Celebrity (January)
Christmas/NY special programming from various programs which will until I’m a Celebrity (Gogglebox, Masterchef, Sunday Night Takeaway Christmas specials).
Celebrity can’t work 3 days a work.

If that’s the case then I would have Survivor taking over Celebrity and going head on against MAFS. The only problem is the need for another show on Wednesday-Thursday as Survivor doesn’t work 5 days a weel and Bachelor in Paradise cancels out against MAFS.
Ten could realistically do a spin off show called Cocktail Evening - It could be a light entertainment program. This program could air on Friday nights say from 8:30pm til 10pm (perhaps it could have been on initially at 7:30pm whilst The Living Room was rested) follow it up with The Graham Norton Show at 10pm. All New Graham Norton Show episodes could screen earlier in the week.
A mock Channel 10 Saturday Lineup. Rather than having repeats of David Attenborough eps at 6PM,
6AM - Lifestyle shows (various)
9AM - Studio 10 Saturday
12 Noon - The Living Room (rpt)
1pm - TBA
4PM - Fishing Australia
4:30PM - Discover [Insert Country]
5Pm - 10 News First
6PM - Celebrity Name Game (Highlights) - 10 should pick one ep from this week)
6:30PM - The Project Highlights
7Pm - Saturday Night Party (find new hosts rather than sticking to Julia & Dr Chris)
8PM - Ambulance UK
9PM - Movie
I understand this ‘need’ that 10 seem to have to want to be different, and many suggesting that this is a good thing but the 6PM strategy simply has not and will not wash. I believe the ratings for The Project move to 6PM last week shows that people want news content at this time. The 6 weeks that Pointless has left should have been used to update news sets nation wide, and move to a 5PM half hour news, and a 6PM half hour news with Celebrity Name Game sandwich in between. The Project mass promotional push should have commenced alongside the lead up to this, with a new set in tow.
Silly decisions continue.

TV Week Logie Awards - Sunday, 28 June

NRL Grand Final - Sunday, 4 October
During NRL season (12 March - 26 September), factuals air on Thursday nights in non-NRL states. It will rotate between Bondi Vet/Driving Test and RBT/Vet on the Hill on ~10 week seasons.
Key points
- Stripped short-run reality Secret Admirer to keep people watching over Easter, cheap and easy to produce. Nine could otherwise jam it with factuals, movies or Attenborough docos if they liked.
- The Voice rested due to declining ratings, recent controversy and expensive production costs.
- Australian Ninja Warrior moved forward to April/May to avoid State of Origin/Tokyo 2020.
- Sorry About That (based on Belgian show Sorry voor alles) takes the Sunday 7pm slot competing against Masterchef.
- Australian Crime Stories expands to weekly true crime documentaries similar to 48 Hours
- True Story with Hamish & Andy returns alongside Lego Masters with double episodes
- Nine end the ratings year with Make Australia Great Again (based on Belgian format) and The Imitation Game (based on the British format), Paramedics airs Mondays 8.30pm.
Don’t forget. The men’s Twenty20 World Cup will be coming to Australia in October 2020. Nine Will televise Australian games plus semi final And the big final with fox cricket screening every match live. I’d say some games will be shunted to 9Gem.
Channel Seven in 2020 during primetime
Jan 27 - May 5 - My Kitchen Rules
May 10 - July 21 - House Rules
July 22 - August 9 - Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics (will get an average of 50% primetime share during the period. Football before Opening Ceremony be played on 7mate. If AFL clashes with Olympics, AFL goes to 7Mate nationwide, with live action on 7flix.
Aug 10 - October 7 - Popstars Australia
(Aug 25 - Sep 6) - 2020 Summer Paralympic Games will be shunted to 7Two with Live coverage.
October 11 - November 25 - Dating shows
I would say that Seven will win in 2020 in terms of primetime shares, No 1 program of the year, Number of weeks, Demographics by a fraction, in all Five cities (Sydney by a fraction).

Slightly off-topic but I love this emoji from a member about Nine becoming No.1
Jokes aside, great schedule. Although do you have anything in mind for Tuesday-Wednesday 7.30/8.30 after The Block? The shows for Sunday/Monday looks great but not sure what might work in the Tuesday/Wednesday slot at the same time. Also Thursdays outside of NRL season looks a bit bare.
I’d probably also have Talkin bout your Generation in the Tuesday 7.30 timeslot in Winter with Lego Masters on Monday. The show has the potential and always worked best on a Tuesday.
AFter the Easter Ratings ended, If i was a Nine programmer, I would follow like this.

8:30PM - 60 Mins
9:40PM - Crime Stories

SATURDAY

Just don’t like your Wednesday. Would much rather see either LEGO masters twice a week or generation in a 7:30 slot than Britain’s Got Talent.
Also Sea Change won’t be ready by Easter. I don’t even think they have started filming yet.
As much as I think other forum members may think this is a lame idea for a program, I was thinking that Ten or perhaps ABC/SBS could produce a fly-on-the-wall series called Job Hunters, a program that follows the journey of say 10 jobseekers from various ages and backgrounds. Possibly produce 10 episodes in each series to ensure that it doesnt suffer viewer burnout.
If it were to screen on Seven on Nine it would become some sort of tacky competition with some prize at the end
seven or* nine not seven on nine
Sorry, bit confused why it was replied to me? Did I make a mistake?

There’s so many great fly-on-the wall formats out there. I really hope one of the networks (either 10, ABC or CBS) picks up Educating and Dr. Davy. Wouldn’t mind seeing an Aussie version of The Surprise Teacher. There are some really great shows coming out of the Netherlands and Belgium at the moment, would be great if programmers looked over there for once as opposed to the UK and US.
