I think My Brand News Face sounds more interesting

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? 
Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Nine has purchased:
The Secret Life of the Zoo spotlights the behavior of animals at the Cheshire Zoo. 6×60-minute.
The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey is a six-hour miniseries that re-examines the unsolved murder of six-year-old beauty queen Ramsey, reuniting the original investigators with new experts.
New line-up:
Wednesday 31 August
07:30 PM The Block
08:40 PM Married at First Sight
09:50 PM How the Rich Get Hitched
10:50 The Truth About Sugar
So Married at First Sight gets three nights a week as well. Nine must be worried about the potential ratings for Unreal Estate if it went up against the likes of Gruen and The Bachelor / Offspring.

Not that I’m terribly surprised, but nothing to celebrate Nine’s 60th birthday on September 16?

South Aussie with Cosi not a celebration?

Apparently the September 13 episode of Married at First Sight is the season final. Is Nine rushing through the episodes to make way for the debut of Hyde and Seek the week after? Also, the 10th season of The Big Bang Theory starts in the US on September 19 (September 20 Australian time). Could it be fasttracked?
THE CASE OF: JONBENÉT RAMSEY
Monday 19 September at 8.45pm
The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey, a three-part series re-examining the sensational unsolved murder of a child beauty queen, premieres Monday, September 19, at 8.45pm on Channel Nine.
The series will be fast-tracked from the United States and be seen over three huge nights.
Twenty years after the six-year-old beauty queen’s tragic death, The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey reunites the original investigators with new experts and fresh witnesses, who together revisit the murder that captivated the world. The production sees the entire crime scene rebuilt in a 2000-square metre warehouse, using state-of-the-art technology to reveal all in the mysterious murder case – and finally unmask the killer.
JonBenét Ramsey was found slain in the basement of her Colorado home in 1996, hours after she was reported missing. Officials, and public opinion, initially suspected her parents and older brother of the crime. The family was partially exonerated in 2003 and completely cleared of any wrongdoing in 2008. The case was reopened in 2009, and remained unsolved until now.
The Case Of: JonBenét Ramsey is a CBS Critical Content series produced by Emmy winner Tom Forman (48 Hours, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition). After premiering on Nine on September 19, it will continue on September 20 and conclude on September 26.
I can’t see that Australian audiences would be interested in this. Why did Nine burn through Married at First Sight to be left with this? This looks more like 9.30pm fodder.

I’m really looking forward to the JonBenet Ramsey special. I wonder if Nine would have been better off using their massive Block lead out on Sundays for their new Australian drama and moving 60 minutes to Wednesdays?
I’m sure it was a very big deal in America, but did the case of JonBenét Ramsey get much attention in the Australian media back in 1996? If so, that’s what I think would justify Nine running this three part series in an earlier timeslot.
No Person of Interest yet? Cmon Nine…
