Nine released their upfront information ahead of the presentation; it had an embargo time.
Seems that Nine has been forced to give up the rights to Tour Down Under due to its Australian Open tennis commitments. Nineâs logo has disappeared from the partners section of TDU website. It will be the second time TDU is on Seven.
So there is a second season of Australian Spartan after all. IIRC two seasons were filmed near Brisbane Airport late last year, so viewers will have to wait another 12 months to see season 2.
And here is a synopsis of Martin Clunesâ Islands of America: http://buffalopictures.co.uk/coming-soon/new-documentary-series-islands-of-america/
So frustrating Seven arenât live streaming this.

Is INSIDE âTHE Gâ a weekly series? Sounds terribly boring.
The All Front looks like a train wreck. Theyâve got the Chief Revenue Officer speaking in front of a giant image of himself? Newflash - you arenât the story, itâs the words coming out of your mouth you should be visualising.
I think Inside the 'G is a one-off documentary. I am looking forward to this.
Exactly.
Whole house reveals will be the best yet when Jamie Durie joins judges Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Wendy Moore and host Johanna Griggs for the new season of HOUSE RULES. With massive challenges and a surprise transformation of warehouse proportions, the competition is tougher than ever but every team ends up with the ultimate reward â a complete transformation of their own home.
Inside the âG. Another factual?
THE STAR of the Seven Network is Mark Ferguson!
Also, Seven seems to provide limited information on its sporting coverage for 2019. Regaining Tour Down Under is good news but it partially compensates for the loss of Australian Open tennis. What about other major sporting events in 2019 that do not yet have a FTA broadcaster - Rugby World Cup in Japan? Presidents Cup golf? The FINA World Championships in Aquatics in South Korea? (whichever network gets the FINA World Championships needs to show diving and synchronised swimming events too, Seven and Nine have ignored them in previous champs)
Nice Seven talent but canât help compare to Nine with Melissa George, Sigrid Thornton, Rodger Corser, Daniel McPherson, John Howard, Nicole Da Silva, Hamish Blake and more. No wonder one network is getting more cash from advertisers.
Donât think itâs been mentioned, but interestingly Julia Zemiro is hosting 7âs AllFronts event.
Navigate Auto by SWM & NewsCorp.
The reason why Seven call it AllFronts
FFS, why are Seven persisting with a genre that hasnât clearly worked for them?? Theyâre the Sideshow Bob of FTA networks:
Like with Nineâs upfront last week, Seven havenât addressed the major problem they have with their lineup. Nothing theyâve announced today will likely address the 2nd half lineup/scheduling debacles theyâve been having over the past few years and I donât think itâs a stretch to guarantee that (based on what we currently know) that itâs going to happen yet again in 2019. Whatâs worse is that it seems like they either donât think thereâs an issue or theyâre oblivious to itâŚ

I completely agree Jeff. Love on Seven is failing. Bride and Prejudice could prove me wrong but the networks are oversupplying this genre to the market and thatâs why audiences are drifting faster and more frequently to streaming services in my opinion.

Well done Seven, nothing remotely worth watching next year with dying formats and even more romance shit. Havenât they learnt that love doesnât work on Seven? If they want a rehash of something they did before then why didnât they go for a new talent show genre. They couldâve done World of Dance or something big like that.
This is reminiscent of Ten 2012.

I thought Married At First Sight held the title of âAustraliaâs Most Controversial Experimentâ 
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 todayâs 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 - Itâs doing decent at around mid-700k and itâs still airing.
