Update

Nine has ditched tonight’s scheduled line-up to encore ep 2 and 3 of The Summit in a bid to resurrect the disappointing ratings.

Yes because people who “missed it” earlier in the week really want to start it at episode two. Morons.

[TV.Cynic]

Episode 1 was parachuted into Wednesday’s schedule at 8.30pm as a last minute change.

[Sully]

This is going to cost Nine the night and week big time up against Seven’s Dreamtime at the G, let alone anything else and potentially damage the Summit brand and alienate some viewers possibly seeing Sunday’s (against Farmer final part 2 after another big AFL lead-in match as well as MasterChef) drop further, same situation the next night too.

[yellow_sock]

I know that Harry Potter hasn’t been setting the world on fire in the ratings, but putting in repeats of The Summit at the last minute is also not a good sign.

What’s wrong with airing reality shows on Nine the next day during the day (12/1pm?) and then later in the week at post 9pm to fill in the void? 7.30pm repeats are just lazy.

[Sully]

HP had been sitting around mid-100k metro (give or take), are Nine confident Summit will do better, significantly, otherwise not sure much point, could do on par or even worse, especially the later episodes, how do they also know some aren’t returning viewers wanting to re-watch, maybe Over 55s too who might not record or have access to 9Now. Like Yellow_Sock says, this is not a good sign at all. Only thing going for them is Farmer is done and dusted after Monday, they’ve got Origin to fall back on over the next month or two and Seven also had a bigger fail with Blow Up and now fillers (we’ll see how they rate against Summit which we’re also waiting to see if holds 400k, increases or drops) and MasterChef isn’t setting world on fire itsself.

[TV.Cynic]

Nine really need to get the show to work. It looks to be an expensive production and who knows what ratings they promised advertisers and sponsors. I wouldn’t be surprised if these encores are being used to make up for the low numbers for their advertisers.

[Sully]

Yeah, I was actually thinking about this the other day, yes Seven’s Blow Up did worse, but what you could argue is relatively negligible in comparison and surely a cheaper production than what you can clearly see is very expensive in Summit (even if credit for production values), are the shows’ runs similar lengths? Also the latter being in the Sunday timeslot adds to more pressure being Nine too possibly. And IMO still reckon unlike Seven’s, Nine were quietly expecting (hoping?) for big things from this, let alone the marketing that went into it and right down to plugs from Nine News anchor on-air and personalities’ social media, like what Ninja was in at least 2017.

[TV.Cynic]

Each episode of The Summit can be up to 2 hours in length. That three nights a week is a lot more to make up for Nine than Blow Up with one 90 min and one 65 minute each week.

I wonder what Seven are thinking with Million Dollar Island. The parallels are very close.

[yellow_sock]

In addition to tonight’s episodes of The Summit, Nine is also airing (i assume part 1) of The Summit at 2.30pm (until 4.30pm). My tv guide initially had the show starting at 1pm and finishing at 4.30pm.

Having seen every episode, you wouldn’t have missed anything if you didn’t watch episode 1. I think a big problem with first episode was that too much of it was bogged down by explanation of how the show worked - it’s why ep 2 and 3 were better.

[Sully]

@Wally

Having seen every episode, you wouldn’t have missed anything if you didn’t watch episode 1.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that, yes you make a fair point, however with a reality show across multiple nights you really need that contestant back-story, development and connection from the get go, especially to follow all the way through and there might be other crucial series plot points (‘confected drama’ as wel) and the like. Knoxy at TVT also made this point on his site Lounge today regarding this, the missed opportunity against the might of Farmer and the landslide () of encores/repeats including, including more day time today and tomorrow as another user there and Yellow_Sock mentions above. I’m definitely keen to see what happens now…

This morning, I spoke to Channel Nine Perth on the phone about the State of Origin Schedules. I asked them about the State of Origin schedules. However, a staff member told me that I have to call them tomorrow. The State of Origin will be played on the 31 May at Adelaide Oval. However, this will clash with the French Open. Channel Nine Perth is a joke.

Your call - outside business hours and on a Sunday - probably was directed somewhere where they wouldn’t have the slightest clue what the schedule is like in 10 days time.

The Perth schedule has been posted now. Note The SOO commences at 5pm on 9Gem before moving to the main channel after 30 minutes.

In Adelaide SOO also starts on 9Gem at 6:30pm before main channel coverage.
