Hey its a genuine question. I dont know you. A lot of people have claimed to know things in the past in here. So its a genuine question

Separate issue to the above… I wonder if Ten will follow suit with Win and obtain the rights to Days Of Our Lives and Young And The Restless OR whether they think its a dead duck… They could very easily insert both into the schedule if they moved The Talk and Dr Phil to 11 (noting The Talk airs early hours of the morning on 11 already)

I’m sure Dr Phil is still a high rater at midday.

Foxtel owns the first run of those shows. Why would they waste money on repeats of those shows which are years behind and move good rating shows to Eleven?

How far are we behind in terms of The Talk airing with the US dates?

That could work you know, but if Dr Phil still rates highly for midday show, they probably won’t move it.

The Talk rates well at 6am???

I wouldn’t call The Talk a good rating show, as I believe new eps are screened at 6am on Ten.

Maybe more the encore of ET, Bold and The Beautiful and Neighbours to 11 (perhaps do a 10:30am to midday option )

Do you actually watch those soapies?

ET yes, it would be perfect fodder for 11.

But no, Bold is a high rater on Ten and WIN shouldn’t move anywhere.

I think Days has been slotted well there on WIN. Don’t understand why ET airs twice on WIN though. They could show one of the cooking shows in lieu of an ET airing.

I agree the first run should air on Ten, but the encore should be on 11. At present, Win airs AAN in lieu of Bold and Beautiful encore and Family Feud encore. The Bold and Beautiful 4:30pm first run slot need to be retained, regardless of other programming changes

@JBar it seems you like arguing for the sake of arguing

No I don’t but i have always felt that except news, game shows and sitcoms, most programs of substance air longer that 30 minutes. Ultimately, if I programmed a network, it may air programs such as The A Team, Knight Rider and Magnum PI, but given they are ageing shows and Ten doesn’t own the rights, perhaps some form of FTA first run drama is in order. At present, not Australian network screens General Hospital, so that’s another potential opportunity and more so if they can get these programs at a good price

Well, that’s the problem right there. That’s why those shows wete dropped.

Because there is little interest. It was the first of Nine’s soaps to be dropped so it was the least popular. Very difficult to get people to start watching these. They’ve tried so many different soaps over the years, but they haven’t been sustainable.

meanwhile, @JBar dogs any ideas that isn’t his own but then promotes his ideas as the best thing since sliced bread.

Actually, no if you were aware of how the TV industry works, it was the supply cost of those programs, firstly Young and the Restless was dropped for the ill-fared the Catch-up, then Days of Our Lives and Nine opted for movies. Seven and Ten deemed them as too expensive.

Nine aired General Hospital from 1983 and dropped General Hospital in the late 80s and it aired in Ten on and off at 4am or 5am in the morning during the 90s before being dropped. but if aired at a decent time, it might rate.

It was on Seven prior to 1983

Also in the 1996, Seven trialled a week day 5pm news bulletin and it failed, but an afternoon bulletin returned in 2003 (and extended to conclude at 5:30pm in 2012) and has since worked

Just being realistic, mate. No need to get touchy because people can see flaws in your suggestions. You’re just suggesting replacing a American shows with American soaps.

So what makes them more cost effective now?

Ultimately, all networks “recycle” their shows, I am just suggesting that even a 5 or 6 year old soap could out rate a movie from the 1980s or a b grade offering

Do we know how they rate on WIN?
