According to promos this week, Tales from the Coast and The Secret Life of Dogs will both be shown on 7TWO in Melbourne while the AFL is on main channel.
Tales from the Coast is a four-part series from ITV and aired in Britain in January-February this year.
Every program (it’s clearly automated though) doesn’t just have a description, but the year of production, classification with consumer advice symbols, whether it’s a repeat or not, whether it’s closed captioned or not & the full cast.
As well as the titles saying premiere, double episode, new or LIVE.
I look at them regularly, particularly when I want to know if an ep is a repeat or not.
Anybody noticed this? The other networks don’t do it. Useful.
they are very creative with the use of “premiere”.
Seven will define something that is new for that particular channel as a premiere even if it’s been on TV a million times.
Even if it’s been on Seven before they will still show it as a “premiere”. Example, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory – the original one that used to air on Seven in the 1970s and 1980s – was on Seven a few months ago with “premiere” in the EPG.
However “premiere” on all networks, is usually always defined as a ‘network premiere’ (unless it also happens to be the first time it’s aired on FTA as well).
Because it may have actually ‘premiered’ on another network in the past.
You’re correct about Seven, if it’s new to a particular channel, they seem to also use “premiere”.
It just looks stupid when they have a film made in 1971 shown as a “premiere” in 2017 when it wasn’t even a network premiere, but rather a return to Seven after previous screenings on Nine.
To me ‘network premiere’ is an imported US term that describes the first time on broadcast TV or FTA as opposed to cable TV where most movies would premiere. In the US network TV = traditional broadcast networks. Ten use this term for new movies.
In their guides I’ve never seen Seven use “network premiere”. They do use “First time on Seven” e.g. for a movie shown in Sydney on 15 April The Town (also labelled as Rpt)
The UK has one of the most varied coastal landscapes in the world, from sweeping sands and rugged cliffs, to mudflats and spits. It’s home to colourful seaside towns and historic fishing villages, and in this new series, Tales from the Coast, Robson Green travels along some of its most fascinating stretches of coastline, to discover just what it is about the shoreline that continues to enthral and inspire.
In each of the four episodes, Robson will travel along a different stretch of coast, from the wild and remote Outer Hebrides and the unspoiled beaches of North Devon, to the remote islands of Pembrokeshire and the varied coastal landscape of Essex and Suffolk.
On his travels, Robson will take on exciting new experiences and meet people who share his passion for the British coast. He’ll go wild camping in the Outer Hebrides, climb dramatic sea cliffs in the Bristol Channel, explore the hidden coves of South-West Wales and visit some of Britain’s most wild and remote islands. He even unwittingly finds himself involved in a dramatic cliff top rescue - and makes the evening news.
During his journey, he hopes to find out how our coastline has influenced both the way we work and the way we spend our holidays, and how being an island nation has shaped the Britain we know today.
Narrated by Martin Clunes (Doc Martin), the second season of this popular documentary series examines the relationship between humans and canines, exploring how and why dogs, more than any other animal, have become the closest of companions.
