Nine was the show’s original home in Australia (1993 I think). They aired it in a mid evening time slot but it wasn’t popular and they quickly pulled it off air. Ten certainly made it popular when they acquired the rights from Nine and ran it over the summer of 1993-1994 on Tuesday nights 8pm after _Roseanne_. ---

Yes, I think it was a really odd timeslot like 9pm or later and then quickly moved it to 10.30pm. ---

They aired it in a mid evening time slot but it wasn’t popular and they quickly pulled it off air. According to my research, Nine aired Seinfeld at the 10:30pm Thursdays timeslot from the start, commencing from 9th September 1993. The reason Nine stopped showing the show less than 2 months later was because they had lost the rights to Ten, which had picked up the output deal with Columbia-Tristar, who distributed the show at the time. Ten then put the show in a more viewer-friendly timeslot & the rest, as they say, is history. Nine regained the rights in 2008 when they picked up the output deal with Sony Pictures. It was later moved to the Seven Network from December 2012 when the network picked up the aforementioned output deal, although later seasons continued to air on the Nine Network into 2013. ---

It struck me at the time that they may have been attempting to emulate the moderate success they’d had with _Cheers_ in a similar mid evening Thursday night slot and the success NBC was having with their powerhouse Thursday night sitcom lineup in the US. ---

Thanks for that. It was bugging me. I must’ve been thinking about _Cheers_ or _Married With Children_. I get hung up on stupid shit at times. EDIT: Thursday, September 9, 1993. Bloody WIN didn’t even run it until 11.30pm. ![13%20AM](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/4/5/457761f94bcd108bd3c9c7f765ac00bb94fa39e9.png) ---

I’m surprised that a CBS own network has an NBC program airing or is it a case of who distributes it now days which I’m guessing is the answer to my question. ---

It always goes by distributor. That is their job after all. ---

I started watching Senfield during the time when widescreen (using an “open-matte” style process) repeats aired on 7mate. I never got around to see the GO! repeats, but I presume they would’ve have unplastered logos (as with many of GO!'s prints of older Sony content)… ---

Saw a post online from Rob Reiner this morning, he’s well known not to support Donald Trump and made a comment on Trump’s town hall meeting where he just sat there and listened to music for half an hour saying nothing. Then came across this article from 2016, before Trump was first elected and its truly fascinating, about Reiner, his Castle Rock company and the show produced the one and only _Seinfeld_. And how Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist and Trump ally, came to get rich off the show, stemming from a deal back in the 90s in his previous business ventures.
