Seven Network 2019

I thought Married At First Sight held the title of “Australia’s Most Controversial Experiment” :roll_eyes:

Unsurprisingly no mention of Dance Boss, Take Me Out, All Together Now (even with Julia hosting?), Bride & Prejudice, The Single Wives. No Yummy Mummies renewal for 7Plus? No royal programming?

The introduction of another multichannel is by far the biggest news out of today’s presentation.

The extra drama looks good (hope Seven schedule them well), not so much the true crime shows that were announced in 2017. Otherwise Seven is sticking with it current formula; no real change in their reality approach with all the regulars back plus another batch of hopefuls that all look likely to fail.

If I had to guess, it is probably too early to make a call for All Together Now - It’s doing decent at around mid-700k and it’s still airing.

No mention of Little Big Shots either?

No mention of the Blake Mysteries?

Well, they did say further telemovies were dependent on how the first one rates. They plan to screen it before the end of the year.

Why can’t they Fix 7flix up for 2019?

What exactly do you want to see fixed? Aren’t all FTA channels in some need of “fixing”?

2 MKR Series in 2019. Special Anniversary Event Series will screen in Q4.

Since they’re doing that, I doubt there’ll be back-to-back MKR seasons (ie; the anniversary special in Q4 2019 followed by the ‘regular’ version in Q1 2020).

If I’m correct, perhaps it’s setting the stage for MKR to become a Q4 program from 2020. Such a plan would allow Seven to use the Tokyo Olympics as a launchpad/promotional vehicle for that

Apart from the new dramas - it seems that 7 Studios are gearing up again - these all fronts are as underwhelming as nine’s.

I hope they are smart and shorten both seasons. If they don’t the franchise will die.

Surely MotoGP will be much more premium than stuff like the FINA World Championships or Presidents Cup. Who by the way, has no Australian broadcaster for next year and beyond. Maybe we will just have to wait and see if TEN will announce it next week, in regards to Rugby World Cup in Japan.

Updated info

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Seven has axed Back with the Ex, The Mentor and The Single Wives.

At least there’s some new drama to look forward to, even if most of it seems very female skewed.

Secret Bridesmaids’ Business
Between Two Worlds
Ms Fisher’s Modem Murder Mysteries
Australian Gangster

Always good to see cancer removed.

They need a bigger knife.
