So the main group behind who gets the deal wanted 9 but the 2 advising groups wanted 7?
And because the main people didn’t want 7, they withdrew?
Isn’t it basically 7 withdrawing before they are told they lost the bid & they can spin it as they didn’t want it & not that they lost the bid
Always fun to read how network executives try to justify the slop they’re serving up next year as investment-worthy shows.
(I know they’ve got the Olympics but that’s only 2 weeks).
‘Slop’ is a rather harsh word to describe a lineup you haven’t seen, isn’t it?
No, reheated reality is must watch TV.
Yeah almost none of the new stuff they’ve got is appealing to say the least. Niche stuff that usually works on the likes of Channel 5 in the UK.
They’ve spent everything on the Olympics that they’ve got hardly anything else.
You really shouldn’t judge the programming slate until you’ve seen it though.
You mean the programs they’ve already revealed? Or the programs themselves when they go to air?
I’m sure that they’ll hopefully deliver all of them next year but even the premises of most of the new ones aren’t promising or ‘must see TV’. Obviously if you’re a fan then you’d be front and centre but none of the stuff they’ve created appeals to me.
2024 will see Nine win the ratings year. A stacked sports lineup
There’s a version on 9Now for this with “contact your NBN Television representative”
There is also a WIN version currently playing in Bendigo.
Nine held a media showcase at the rooftop of QT Hotel in Melbourne CBD yesterday to promote some of its shows for 2024, including the confirmation of Tracy Grimshaw as co-host of Do You Want to Live Forever.
Looks like some new promos tonight, during the de Minaur match (unless they already aired over summer before last week - but did not see these the past week), including a Married one “dominant alpha male” or whatever and a completely different Alicia and Tom Nine News one with a different v/o. Plus all promos now updated to “next Monday” instead of Jan 29 (should say “Monday” from Tuesday and Men’s Final should say “tomorrow”). Also saw a first ACA one earlier today with Ally.
Australia’s Nine Network and streamer Stan are amongst a raft of global buyers for Sean Penn’s Superpower feature documentary about Ukraine’s fight for freedom against invading Russian forces.
Channel Nine has distanced itself from a potential misstep by producers of an upcoming documentary about the mushroom lunch that left three people dead and a fourth fighting for his life.
Erin Patterson has been charged with murdering three people at the lunch in her home in the rural Australian town of Leongatha on 29 July and the proceedings are ongoing. She has consistently denied the charges and maintains her innocence.
The production company Perpetual Entertainment published a blurb on its website complete with a title that experts say had the potential to run foul of Australian contempt laws, material which we have decided not to repeat.
Nine sources said the broadcaster had no hand in producing or naming the program and it would not be broadcast in Australia before a criminal trial was over.
The blurb has been deleted from Perpetual’s website. The company has previously produced Dream Listing Byron Bay and true crime documentary The Murder of Lyn Dawson for Nine.
Why is 9Rush not avaliable in Darwin? NTD is O&O.
