It will be a very interesting upfronts today, given the past tumultuous six months at Nine Entertainment that saw the departure of chairman Peter Costello, CEO Mike Sneesby, head of communications Victoria Buchan, plus Domain CEO Jason Pellegrino this week, as well as redundancies at the newspapers division. The company will be looking for some stability in the 12 months ahead, with the upfronts marking the start.
I think there will be very few surprises in the programming line-up, including new shows The Floor and The Golden Bachelor. It will be quiet on the sporting front, with the British and Irish Lions rugby tour the key event (providing Nine renews its broadcast deal with Rugby Australia).

Everything is up!
Details of the programming slate now being posted:
What colour scheme is that??
Extremely underwhelming. Both new dramas aren’t even Aussie. And just 3 new shows? Pathetic.
A shame no RPA or Under Investigation next year. Let’s hoping Liz Hayes is still utilised in some areas more
Deb Knight doing VO at this year’s event.
Good for Nine obtain this. No longer sandwiched between the Boxing Day Test.
Another opportunity missed by 10.

Wow, thats it for new show announcements? An imported drama and basically cheap filler.
You forgot rpa
It’s not often two New Zealand dramas get a primetime screening on the main channel of an Australian commercial network. Nine must have been inspired by the ABC which aired After the Party and Under the Vines a few months ago.
I presume she’s been given the US Election hosting role as part of this.
It’s a sad state of affairs that two foreign dramas are offered as a highlight but there is no local drama on your main network.
