Its probably not a big surprise, they should have scheduled it after the news rather than giving it Bondi Rescue as a lead in. Almost the entire Three schedule now looks like ‘filler’ and I imagine it will be much worse next year with WBD not investing in anything themselves. Although to be fair even the TVNZ schedules now are quite pitiful but outside of news bulletins and the odd local series most of my viewing is via streaming.

I get WBD don’t care about Three but to go from a audience share of 20 to 9 is terrible for it’s news bulletin. Was it really worth gutting the news division for these terrible ratings.

Have a peek at the Satellite TV Observations Thread, from about August. The old bird is dying and the new one isn’t ready to fly.

As you would’ve heard, SoHo, a general entertainment channel from Sky, has just been rebranded as HBO with effect from today (30 October) - just one day out from my birthday.

Max, an online streaming service from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), also launched as a dedicated hub on Sky and Neon.

Do you have any photos please of Max? I’d love to see how it looks within another service. Thanks!

Thank you!

Is Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman on there? With Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain?

To be honest, a lot of the content on there was already on Neon, they have just arranged the content by the distinct brands. It will be interesting to see how much back catalogue stuff makes it on there.

All the streamers look pretty much the same now - there isn’t one that comes to mind that has a radically different interface to the others.

Is there a reason why it’s live on TVNZ Duke+1 and not TVNZ Duke.
