that would be a disaster if there is only two channels of olympics… what about people who prefer watching on tv because online streams buffer?
Not all of their programming is mentioned. A daytime event with minimal interest probably doesn’t deserve a specific mention, if they have it.

No mention of this juggernaut? 
In all seriousness, I did wonder when the ‘ex-MasterChef rivals’ going to Seven rumours surfaced if it may have been a new show(s) which could’ve either been exclusive to 7food Network (to help attract viewers) or tie-in/encores from main channel new show(s). It could still be the latter.

Three thoughts:
- The thing that stands out to me about Seven’s upfront is the lack of detail (eg; the vague descriptions about Plate of Origin & Big Brother, nothing about 7flix’s relaunch, etc). As such, it’s hard to get a sense tonight (based on what we know/don’t know) as to whether the decisions they’ve made will help turn the tide for them. Guess only time will tell…
- Surprised there’s been no discussion about this about curious about what people think about the network’s shift to appealing towards 25 - 54s? Think it’s the logical move for a network which has had a ‘total viewers’ focus + it’s a demographic which Nine and 10 aren’t targetting so it’s a gap in the market waiting to be filled.
- Glad that aside from Farmer Wants a Wife, Seven’s upfront wasn’t dominated by relationship/dating programs that were doomed to fail (like it has been over the last few years)

The rumoured TT revival on the East Coast isn’t happening with no mention of Current Affairs during upfronts. The last SN will air on November 24 with the only current affairs show remaining on the network is the Adelaide and Perth editions of TT.
We had discussions about TT at 7pm and H&A on 7Two on MS for a few months.

lol, sorry I just had to do that …
Where will Seven find bandwidth for 7 mate HD? they will need to find at least 3.5Mbits extra if they plan on doing 1920x1080i MPEG4/AVC
Unless its 1440x1080i …

Wife Swap?
Two reboots doomed to fail.
And First Dates is also returning.

Not sure why you would think Nine in particular are not targeting 25-54 year olds as that has repeatedly been their main focus.
From their 2020 upfronts
It is this reliable slate of family-friendly programming that will see Nine crowned Australia’s No. 1 network for 2019 with the demographics most highly sought after.
• Nine’s commercial share of the coveted 25-54 demographic currently sits at 39.3% – a year-on-year increase of 3.7 share points.

The “biggest coup of the year” according to themselves

Not a coup. They didn’t poach them. Ten walked away and now they’ve found a new job. Seven are stupid.

It’s probably the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen in the lobby at 8 Central Ave, I can tell you…
Even though Home and Away film there (and set the fire alarms off every month or so), I haven’t ever actually recognised anyone walking around in the lobby or cafe because I don’t watch Home and Away.
You can kind of tell the actors from the other people, but I haven’t seen anyone properly famous there other than Gary Mehigan.

Was the new name for 7Flix announced?
Ten has “Peach” so Seven should follow with 7Cherry.
