Nine Network - Programs and Schedules

Next week’s The AFL Footy Show is doing a three-hour telethon to raise money for charity, thus a 7.30pm start. I am sure it will be back to 8.30pm the following week (September 1) unless the AFL schedules a final for that night.
It’s interesting that Nine is showing three of the most recent 007 movies (it can’t show Spectre until 2017 at the earliest) on three consecutive nights next week. Could it be waiting for the Olympics to be completely over before launching a new line-up?

The season was originally scheduled to start next Monday so they had only edited episodes for three days that week. Nine wants to keep the reveal episodes on Sundays, so it is only moving next week’s episodes forward by one night.

There is a reason why The Block is only for 3 nights. It is just the first week.
As you all may recall, The Block was supposed to begin on Monday 22nd and air for 3 nights in the first week - Mon, Tues and Wed. Nine did a switcheroo and have now decided to open on Sunday, meaning they could only still air 3 episodes - Sun, Mon and Tues. They need to save the 4th episode for Sunday as it was originally always supposed to be a Sunday episode. So look for Nine to go 4 nights in week 2.

Is this a permanent move? Have they finally conceded and moved NRL Footy Show back to where it belongs?

This has happened each week when there is no Thursday night NRL.

With The NRL Footy Show doing so Bad in the Ratings, Looks like it could be the Swansong to this 23 Year Institution.

Finally some sense in Nine programming with NRL Footy Show back to Thursdays following live NRL. Should have been like this from the start.

Confirmation that The Block is only 3 nights per week.

How? The Block could air at 7:30 like it normally does…

You’r right of course.

Crap movie vs live sport? I know what I’d pick!

I had to look that up. It’s about a man with a disfigured face who has surgery to repair his face. I think it’s actually “My Brand New Face”.

I think My Brand News Face sounds more interesting :slight_smile:

Perhaps “My Brand News Face” could be an observational series which follows the inner workings of a certain TV network who’s looking for a “Brand News Face” for their Sydney 6pm bulletin? :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry, couldn’t resist! :wink:
