Sorry, I didn’t word it very well.
I thought weeks ago why hadn’t Seven premiered “Inferno” yet (as it’s been the usual 1.5 - 2 years that FTA networks have to wait before premiering a movie).
Makes sense why now, Nine acquired rights. And often when a network loses a movie to another (final runs), they’ll air them close together, like this film’s aforementioned predecessors on 7Two weeks ago and now 7flix tomorrow and Monday week.
So Nine taking that opportunity.
If Nine want to find out why viewers aren’t choosing them as their number one network, look no further than the decision to air three hours of a British talent show in primetime. Britain’s Got Talent wound up in early June. Anyone can Google the result and Nine expect us to sit there and watch it with ads. Seriously insulting.
I can see why the ratings have suffered this year.
Last year was fresh and new and exciting and we kind of accepted the annoying parts of the show.
This year the annoying things are compounded by the fact that it is no longer fresh.
Those annoying things include:
Updated schedule
Nine must think they still are and turns out I was right (about Brosnan Bonds)…
They’ve moved “Goldeneye” and “Tomorrow Never Dies” to the main channel this Saturday. Probably also because the Ninja Warrior encores flopped last week.
Not sure what’s replacing them on 9Gem yet.

The Block Returns on 5th August. I believe that Australia Ninja Warrior Finals will air straight after The Block on Sunday Nights.
They are advertising Ninja as the final 2 weeks on 9Now, so its grand final is likely August 5th.
Nine’s schedule is so poor. I cannot believe they are showing a movie and and UK Talent competition on the main channel in primetime. Beyond embarrassing.
The main channel of one of the major networks and that’s all they can offer for the week. Such a boring schedule. I’ll stick to Netflix
It is simply awful. I didn’t even see the Monday show. What on earth is that rubbish? Simply and utterly no imagination or money spent after their reality tentpole. They expected Ninja to give them cheap wins and I am actually glad it hasn’t turned out that way. Nine need to start filling their late evening schedule with some decent Australian content.
Looks like it is holding off the Australian content until the week of August 5 when the new season of The Block begins.
Channel Nine has 7 eps of Ninja Warrior remaining. The Block will air at 7PM on 5 August, followed by back-to-back eps of Ninja Warrior Final at 8PM. What happens to 60 Minutes is unknown.
Waste for Ninja Warrior, but it hasn’t worked as hoped and such double header programming should ensure big wins. But I don’t think it’s great for viewers. If all that does eventuate.
You are missing something really important! The Series Premiere of When Celebrities Go Horribly Wrong is on Monday, 30 July. Pencil that in your diary. A real highlight.
I did and then got to use my eraser that I haven’t needed to use in like 15 years.

off topic
Brosnan is my favourite and Tomorrow Never Dies is a favourite. But in terms of the best quality and universal praise, Connery the original and probably the best, followed by Moore (both went a film too long). I believe Dalton was Ian Fleming’s quintessential Bond however.
Only half of that sentence is accurate
