Nine Network - Programs and Schedules

I don’t understand why nine just don’t air The Footy show at 7:30 and get a head start on The Front Bar.

dont we in victoria get a double episode of doctor doctor tomorrow night???

The AFL Footy Show Grand Final edition will start at 7.30pm. It is mentioned in an ad in today’s Sunday Herald Sun for a reader competition to win tickets to the event.

But they should have been doing that all year as well.

Obviously the NRL version of the show couldn’t do this all year round due to Thursday night games but I personally think they’d also greatly benefit from a 7.30pm start for the Grand Final edition, particularly if Nine wants ratings high enough to (by some miracle) justify a renewal of the show for 2019.

Yeah I understood why they couldn’t for the NRL edition but the AFL edition clearly could have. Seven wouldn’t be able to put Front Bar earlier due to Home and Away. I think it was a missed opportunity.

Jessica Marais has quit upcoming Nine drama Bad Mothers and is taking a break from acting for the rest of 2018.

Small tidbit

Nine has been showing new episodes of Kevin Can Wait in random slots such as weekdays at 1:30pm. About 6 episodes of the new season have already aired.

Says a lot about their intentions for the show, when a movie otherwise runs there.

Since Kevin Can Wait started 5 weeks ago (first week was Wed/Thu then Wed after that), Nine have only aired a 1pm movie on Fridays.

Another sneaky one like Kevin Can Wait - 9GO is airing the 25th season of Top Gear on 9GO. The second of 6 episodes aired today.

Nine not doing a good job with their US imports - Chicago Med and Lethal Weapon have completed seasons not aired.
Nine have aired two seasons of Chicago Med with a full 20 episode third season unaired. The fourth seasons starts in 9 days time in America.
Lethal Weapon has a full 22 episode second season in the can with a third season starting in 8 days in America.
Still waiting for Nine to air the final season of Major Crimes.
A new season of Lip Sync Battle is available
Westside has a whole fourth season available

Above includes market variations. Interesting that Riverfire is at 6.30pm this year and does not pre-empt the rest of QTQ’s line up. Previous years have seen a 7pm start.

The Nine coverage is ending as the fireworks start?

Edit: Riverfire running is 6.30-7.30pm

Some other minor changes to schedule including movie start times on Saturday and Monday in AFL markets where a repeat of Buying Blind added.

Footy Classified will be on at 9.40 Tuesday in AFL markets, followed by Kath and Kim and Mom. The Closer will not air.

Promos for Major Crimes have been running the last few weeks. It must be about to start airing very soon.

Same name as the US one starring Mary McDonnell ? I thought GEM aired that ages ago…
