Is that a question, or a statement?
Certainly sounds like something that should be in the 2016 Ratings Predictions thread.

### Australiaâs Cheapest Weddings[/quote]Channel Sevenâs schedule make LOL. Certainly wouldnât feel out of place with the shit they continue to dish up to their loyal viewers.

One would expect The Chase Australia would have one of its highest audiences of 2016, following the Melbourne Cup?[/quote]I think youâve entered the wrong thread with this Luke?

Seven seem to be slightly panicking with all these shows that look like they were scheduled for next year being pulled forward. Their post-Olympic schedule has been under-performing in the younger demographics so they are filling the line up with younger skewing shows. So many episodes of Big Bang scheduled over the upcoming weeks.

Itâs now even worse than Nine had at its worst with TBBT repeats.
FTA is falling deeper into a hole as every week passes by now (which is truly hard to believe these days I know).
Thank god thereâs plenty of alternatives out there with streaming etc.

I donât really understand why seven have launched all these shows for the last 3 weeks of ratings period, we probably shouldnât complain. But surely First Dates would have been better off kept for the beginning of the year. Cheapest Weddings I can understand airing over summer.
Do you think they still have a chance to claim the year in some of the younger demos? Is that why they have brought these shows forward?
People whinge when the networks have shut up shop early for the summer and then they whinge when they show new episodes of a series at the end of the ratings season.

They are shows I wouldnât watch anyway, but no we shouldnât whinge. I think it seeks of desperation and seems very strange. Hopefully it is a sign of things to come.
Theyâre certainly desperate to push their demo numbers up but maybe they should be planning their year out better rather than trying to pack the schedule with multiple episodes of reality shows, or repeats of a certain basic sit-com, or chopping and changing the schedule every day.
Most of Sevenâs schedule doesnât appeal to me. There are only two shows Iâm watching on the channel and one Iâm recording for later.

It is too close to call at this stage. Seven have lost what looked like an unbeatable lead earlier in the year.
Eight episodes of Big Bang on the main channel plus another 10 on 7Flix in the above schedule just released.
Meanwhile weâre still anxiously waiting for the premiere of Cannonball Australia.

This is a bit off-topic but this situation is exactly why I think the ratings year should consist of all 52 weeks in a year instead of roughly 40 weeks (TV Cynic or others can correct me on that). If the networks had to âproperlyâ schedule throughout the entire year, you donât have a) Seven rushing to air programs to win certain demos before the off-ratings period and b) Three months of âuninspiringâ scheduling in November and during the Summer non-ratings period
