Basically Sam and Koshy have been on network contracts to prevent them going to Nine or Ten. Both have been under utilised since they left Sunrise.
Other than making guest appearances, I can’t see Nine or Ten picking them up in this current climate.

I’m sure we’ll see Sam Armytage on Sky News soon enough spouting hate-filled right wing talking points.

That match is being played this afternoon. The 3.20pm game on August 11 should be Richmond v St Kilda. Adelaide will get the twilight game between Crows and Bulldogs.
Interesting that the Swans’ match against Collingwood will be shown on main channel in Sydney this Friday, but the Swans’ away clash versus Essendon will air on 7mate in Sydney next Friday.

Either they are testing to see what effect it has on the ratings before making a decision about next week, or they decided to put it on the main channel because either way, they will get smashed in the ratings since Nine has Olympics and NRL.
The Collingwood game is basically a sell-out - Swans members were told nearly a month ago that there would be no GA admission

Considering their recent form, hope they can wake up from their slumber. Would be terrible to continue what they have been serving up in front of such a large crowd.
Does highlight the quality of some reporting from late May, early June
Samantha Armytage has signed a massive two-year deal with Farmer Wants A Wife with Channel Seven continuing to make Natalie Gruzlewski her understudy.
A source told Daily Mail Australia: ‘This new contract with Channel Seven marks a new era for her with the network.’
‘With the show flying high it was a great time to renegotiate and Samantha is looking forward to getting back out into regional Australia and making new love stories,’ they added.
The source insisted there won’t be any hosting changes to Farmer Wants A Wife next year, despite many disgruntled fans calling for Natalie’s return to the centre stage.

Sonia Kruger was a random special guest on this afternoon’s Sydney Weekender, talking up the semi-final of DWTS.

Very random - is Seven desperate enough to have random DWTS segments in local weekend programs?
2 Likes
Or more like having Sonia fill her appear in “20 different programs a year” contract 
But it does seem desperate and a little bit needy from Seven’s end.
5 Likes
It’s not really “random”. They have often had various Seven celebrities featured in past episodes.

At some point, Seven are going to have to address their 5pm/news lead-in problem with Tipping Point Australia dominating the ratings and the flow on effect that has on the 6pm news ratings.
Any suggestions on what could be done?
Differentiate from Nine by moving The Chase Australia to 4pm, and the Afternoon News to 5pm?
Or is it time to produce a local version of a different UK game show, such as Countdown, or Catch Phrase?
4 Likes
Why the urgency? Hot Seat was trailing The Chase for years before it was dropped for Tipping Point.
