Nine Network - Programs and Schedules

Hardly any Promotion for the Return of the NRL Footy Show yet as well as the AFL Footy Show coming in the Next Two Weeks.

So NRL means no more new Big Bangs again. No wonder new eps don’t rate anymore - on for a few weeks, off again, back on a different night / timeslot, mixed before or after repeats, played weeks or months after the US, who can be bothered keeping up with Nine & new Big Bangs…

Internet Movie Database (IMDb) and Twitter will live stream next Monday’s Oscars, featuring a companion show hosted by Dave Karger and Amazon’s Rachel Smith, from the IMDb industry viewing party. That will go up against Nine’s own streaming and sure to be controversial, as the IMDb streaming is mostly ad-free.

Just wondering, why on earth has Nine got an almost identical primetime schedule to last year, when they rated so bad? IMO, The Block needs to go up against MKR (As it seems to be Nine’s only rating show) and have The Voice/Married at First Sight in the latter part of the year.

By putting The Block against MKR you reduce its potential ratings. It always rates a lot better away from that competition.

Nine apologises to Gina Rinehart for House of Hancock, pulls series

BILLIONAIRE Gina Rinehart slammed the miniseries about the life of Lang Hancock and his family — including her — as ‘disgraceful” and “false” and sued Channel Nine for it.

Today, she received a grovelling apology from the network, and, sources say, and agreement House of Hancock will never be shown again.

Nine and the makers of the show, Cordell Jigsaw apologised to Rinehart in a statement which clarified the program “was a drama, not a documentary, and certain matters were fictionalised for dramatic purposes”.

Its understood the program won’t be released again on DVD, streamed, or sold overseas.

Apology on 9Honey

Nine and Cordell Jigsaw accept that Mrs Rinehart found the broadcast to be inaccurate. That was certainly not the intention of Nine or Cordell Jigsaw, and each unreservedly apologises to Mrs Rinehart and her family for any hurt or offence caused by the broadcast and its promotion.

Why bury the apology at 9Honey website? How many people will see it? It should be posted on the homepage of nine.com.au

I think you just answered your own question, Johnson my lad.

I don’t think they have hardly any of the same shows as last year??

Married for AGT. Farmer is out. Habbibs will come later. There isn’t a lot that is the same besides the news slot and 60 Minutes. The rest is all different.

Married in the first quarter, The Voice in the next and The Block in the last quarter (2016) and this year looks to be the same. I am mainly talking about 7pm-9pm.

But they had Australia’s Got Talent in the first quarter last year… Married was at 8:30.

This is a comparision of last years to this years schedule

SUNDAY
7:00 - Australia’s Got Talent - Married
8:15 - 60 Minutes - 60 Minutes
9:25 - The Amazing noughties
(this week was T/20)

MONDAY
7:30 Australia’s Got Talent - Married
8:45 Farmer Wants A Wife - House Husbands

TUESDAY
7:30 The Big Bang Theory - Married
8:30 Here Comes the Habibs - Travel Guides

WEDNESDAY
7:30 The Big Bang Theory - David Attendbourgh
8:30 The Embassy - Murder Calling

THURSDAY
7:30 Inside Story - RBT
8:00 RBT - RBT
8:30 King Cross ER - Big Bang Theory

Married didn’t start until April (Q2) and was in the 8:30 slot before moving to the 7:30 slot.

The only things that are the same are 60 Minutes and RBT. Nine have done the biggest shake up of any other network.

According to 9 Perth EPG on 11/3/2017 this will be followed as:
5PM: WA Votes
6PM: News
7PM: WA Votes.
I mean, why do they put the news in-between the WA Votes? This is a joke.

It is simply scheduled to discourage viewers to switch to Seven for the 6pm news. Plus there is not much to discuss during the first hour of vote counting anyway, as demonstrated in past state and federal elections.

According to Nine’s official schedule, the news runs 6.00 - 6.30pm. I don’t know why the EPG would be different.

Polls close at 6pm then there isn’t much more to report until votes are counted. It’s fairly standard schedule for the commercials.

And of course, Nine News Perth will probably have the WA Election as their top story on Saturday night!

Similar scheduling (Election Coverage at 5pm, News at 6pm, more Election Coverage at 6.30pm) has happened with past State & Federal Elections, so I don’t see why WA 2017 should be any different.
