Oh, not this again? Didn’t the triple REPEATED episodes fail on Saturdays last year? So why are Nine being lazy again by doing the same again this year?
It must be said Nine will also replay the previous night’s episode of The Voice at around 1.30pm weekdays. The Saturday encores are also useful for people who are watching MKR and/or Bachelor in Paradise during the week but are not able to record The Voice to watch later.
Also, with the new season of Suncorp Super Netball starting next weekend, hasn’t Nine promised to show a match live on the main channel? So has it chosen to air it on Saturday afternoon instead of Saturday night?
Not sure if anyone noticed this, but Nine putting NRL on main channel again in Melbourne. Only this time it will be up against live AFL.
I think the decision is based on Melbourne Storm playing and also no Melbourne AFL team playing. Still rather odd, why Nine’s sudden change in strategy? Have NRL been asking Nine to do tha or maybe Nine are not happy with NRL on 9Gem?
It should be noted I don’t think Seven have aired AFL on main channel in Sydney or Brisbane once this year (yet), despite doing so a few times last year.
I actually posted about NRL game between Brisbane and Melbourne on NRL on Nine thread last week. It is the second of eight Storm matches Nine promised to show live on the main channel in Victoria this year.
Can you please link to where that statement was made by Nine?
And I take it you mean main channel, as they’d otherwise be shown live on 9Gem anyway.
Interesting move indeed. Like a blast from the past with what Ten did for AFL in Sydney and Brisbane, all local teams were on main channel, usually live.
It was mentioned in Nine’s press release on World Club Challenge earlier this year.
Nine’s Head of Rugby League, Simon Fordham, said: “We’re thrilled to be starting the year in Melbourne with the World Club Challenge in what is the first year of an exciting new broadcast deal for Nine and the NRL. It’s the first of nine Storm games that Melbourne viewers can enjoy on the main channel this season, not to mention the opening game of State of Origin, which returns to the MCG in June. "
So far Nine has shown two Storm games live on the main channel: the WCC against Leeds and last month’s match away to Cronulla.
Thank you for that, how interesting, first time I’ve seen that officially stated.
So essentially the AFL are going backwards with their broadcast approach to non-traditional markets, whereas NRL are going forward?
Knowing the performance of the AFL on main channel in Syd/Bris in broadcast deals between 2002 and 2011, I wonder if Nine just agreed to ‘lump it’ (ratings/ad sales), in order for NRL to showcase Storm more and increase they’re exposure?
Like I said, the scheduling is intriguing for this day and age, good and bad, for both the NRL and Nine.
Not really - the AFL still lets non-Victorians watch every single game involving their local teams on FTA (either live or six times a year in SA & WA, delayed). The NRL still doesn’t have a similiar scheme in place for Melbourne viewers and Storm games

Nine will show The Queen’s Birthday Party concert special on Anzac Day (April 25) at 9pm according to a promo aired tonight. The concert was held at Royal Albert Hall in London overnight to celebrate the Queen’s 92nd birthday, with performers including Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes. It was produced for the BBC.
EDIT: here is a review of the concert from The Daily Telegraph UK
Last year, Nine held off showing the last few eps of Season 10 until September/October (those were aired in the US in April/May), which was around the time the Season 10 DVD/BluRay was being released here. However, this meant that the last few eps were legally available on DVD/BluRay first before it aired on Nine!
It’s silly. Same with Ten sitting on Roseanne. I’ve watched episodes on YouTube without ads. Why would I watch weeks after they’ve aired on traditional tv?
Getaway, Australia’s longest-running travel and lifestyle program, explores the mystery and wonder of Egypt and Jordan over three must-see episodes starting Saturday, April 28, at 5.30pm on Nine and 9Now.
Join Catriona Rowntree as she uncovers breathtaking locations across Egypt and Jordan, meeting extraordinary locals, eating delicious food, bargaining at markets and exploring some of the world’s most ancient and famous landmarks.
Take a step back in time and travel through history as Catriona visits the bustling Egyptian capital of Cairo, the ancient city of Luxor, mind-boggling Abu Simbel and the stunning monuments and natural wonders of Jordan. Plus, one lucky viewer will win their own adventure through Egypt.
Getaway last travelled through Egypt in 2008, and 10 years on it is still a bucket list destination for all. Over the three episodes, we explore some of the best sites Egypt and Jordan has to offer, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, as well as the Sphinx, Cairo’s Citadel, home to some of Egypt’s most treasured and famous structures, and an incredible cruise along the River Nile. Then there’s the Valley of the Kings plus Jordan’s extraordinary Petra, the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. We check into some of Egypt and Jordan’s most luxurious resorts and hotels along the way.
Catriona, who first went to Egypt at the age of 15, says Egypt is incomparable amongst the 100-odd countries she has visited.
“From my first trip to Egypt as an inquisitive ancient history student to my third trip as an obsessed travel reporter, I can’t get enough of this mystical country,” she said. “This trip to Egypt and Jordan was simply incredible. I’ve never had a trip where so many Aussie travellers approached me, some with tears in their eyes, to say we must tell other people to come here, that Egypt is beyond belief, and we have to share how beautiful it really is.
“It is a highly sophisticated culture that reigned thousands of years ago, obsessed with everything from aromatherapy to horoscopes, religion to royal families. It’s pretty obvious why the world is still intoxicated by Egypt.”
Getaway joined Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours 20 Day Essence of Egypt and Jordan Adventure.
This aired in Britain in November last year under the title Sam Smith at the BBC. The songlist included several tracks which had never been performed on TV before.
Why does Nine keep getting the BBC music specials?
Do you mean as opposed to the ABC? I suspect Nine would chase them as they are easy to commercialise. Go to the record company and tell them you’re screening the special, they’ll whack a few ads for his album during the show or for concerts etc.
