Seven Network - Programs and Schedules

I think both these shows will perform poorly on the main channel & should have been on 7Two in all markets, where it could have pulled a large share.

Did Seven do somrthing similar last year?

Changing the Friday strategy in Sydney, Brisbane & Perth from the usual 8:30pm movie?

Last year Seven showed Martin Clunes’ Islands of Australia on Friday nights to good ratings success. However this happened after the AFL season had concluded. This time I don’t think the new documentaries will be a match for live NRL in Sydney and Brisbane.

They have to screen something and trying out something different to umpteenth repeats of movies might work.

A program schedule has been received from Seven for the week commencing 30 April but it is 80% TBAs so no point posting until more info (doesn’t even include MKR final).

I See The Goldbergs are Back with the Final Episodes of Season Three, I don’t know how much longer will see New Eps on Seven but it’s better that 7flix shall air Season Four First.

Trial and Error will premier on the main channel 30 April following the MKR final with one episode then a double on Wednesday of the same week.

Ten tried this tactic with the Masterchef finale a few years ago and there was a major backlash.

They’ve learnt from their mistakes a few years ago - when MKR finished and they waited a good few weeks before launching HR, and then no one watched.

Still no sign new series of Criminal Minds?

Five episodes of House Rules in the first week? I don’t believe it. Assuming Sunday is still house reveal night then a lot must have happened in the week of renovation that warranted five episodes instead of three.

It’s only four episodes but they have decided to split episode one into two parts.

It’s always been four episodes per week.

Masterchef’s 24 Hour Advantage Lost.

I dont see House Rules being too much competition.

IIRC Ten went 7pm Masterchef, 8pm Renovators, 9pm Masterchef continues.

What 24 hour advantage - MasterChef was always starting on Monday. This schedule would have no effect on Nine or Ten’s plans.

Bates Motel S4 E1 on Seven? Must be why Netflix only has S1-3.

In the past four seasons of House Rules, each interior renovation had four episodes (3 renovation episodes + house reveal). However, it looks like for the first renovation of season 5, it will be six episodes (5 renovation episodes + house reveal), providing house reveal stays on Sunday nights.

Didn’t you read the comment about the first epiaode being obviously split over two nights? You really study these stats hard. Do you have an obsessive compulsive disorder about numbers of episodes?

No, it looks as though they are burning through two renovations in one week next week. Fiona and Nicole’s Victorian house that must be built from scratch is first with the whole house reveal on Tuesday night (which is why it is 2 hours long) and Kate and Harry’s SA house is next with this reveal on the next Sunday night as you would expect. It would seem that there will be only 3 episodes for one renovation, as can be seen from the episode descriptions for next week. Maybe Seven wanted to ensure viewers will see LLB next week and not wait until the following Sunday for a reveal episode that he would appear in, with the endless promotion they are doing of him in the lead up to the premiere.
