A pretty good mix overall and a lot of variety which is nice to see.
Not sure why Nine bothered to promote New Amsterdam or World of Dance. Both will flop hard. Dancing shows have been dead for ages here and a past it J Lo is not going to woo people. New Amsterdam won’t fare any better. Falling ratings in the US and coming along with a glut of medical shows will probably induce fatigue with the genre.
Talking 'bout your generation. Just no. It’s not going to happen. It’s had its day and doesn’t need to return again.
I can’t see them clawing back viewers to Ninja warrior and expect next one to be the last. I guess they have to try and save face though.
Still it’s a much more solid lineup than 2018, so I think Nine will do quite well.
We haven’t seen Seven or Ten’s plans yet but the pressure is well and truly on them. Seven must do better than recent years with new commissions and tweak the ageing MKR and House Rules so that they don’t fizzle out opposite Nine and Ten’s newer, shinier offerings.
Nine’s 2019 Line Up. Not shown here is Hamish & Andy’s “Perfect” Holiday, Murder, Lies and Alibis, Dynasties with David Attenborough, New Amsterdam and ABBA: Let the Music Speak.
The first season has only been given 10 episodes and given how low its ratings are I cant see it getting any further episodes. So it will be finished at the end of November before summer begins.
The Ashes will help push up their overall share. When it was on Gem a few years ago they had consistently high shares.
ACA is Australia’s “most watched program”? How do they figure that?
The Herald Sun keeps on speculating about Sam Newman and Shane Warne co-hosting a new tonight show which would be broadcast nationally on the Nine Network in 2019.
Nine announced two shows at its Perth upfronts last night: mini series Halifax: Retribution as well as a new short form video series The Block 365 to be distributed via 9Now and social media. The first series will be eight-part Quick Room Flips with Ronnie & Georgia. The couple competed on The Block in 2017.
