ABC News channel will show the Shane Warne Memorial Service live nationally from 7pm to 9.30pm AEDT on Wednesday. ABC Australia will air the service live across Asia-Pacific region at the same time.
NT will also get Seven’s coverage on delay according to online guides. It will of course stream live on 7plus.
Is 9 showing on Gem or main channel?
Presumably the main channel. It has to be
Pretty sure I read somewhere (can’t remember the publication) that airing the memorial ad-free is a condition for networks being allowed to show it.
Looks like 9Gem according to TV Tonight: https://tvtonight.com.au/2022/03/shane-warne-memorial-service-9gem.html
Maybe they don’t want to mess with the MAFS ratings and also find somewhere to put that episode in the future.
Yep, confirmed to be on 9GEM. Promo this morning has aired.
I don’t know why, i just thought it would be a day service, like most memorials seem to be?
Being a night time event surprises me. I know it will mean more people can attend though.
Nine will be showing the premiere of the new season of Travel Guides at 7.30 on the main channel.
QLD promo for 9Gem
The service will be streamed live into India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, potentially attracting hundreds of millions of overseas viewers, according to today’s Herald Sun.
Michael Gudinski’s State Memorial was also in the evening and like Warne had a private ceremony in the lead up.
I guess they moved it to Gem cause News will be at 6pm on main channel
It’s interesting that Nine in Melbourne are showing it. But not the rest of the country in the main channel. Instead it’s being shown in the second channel. I get it all they want is the MAFS ratings and all that. But can’t they just moved MAFS on 9GO! maybe and put the memorial in the main channel for the rest of the country.
Instead of changing channels.
MAFS is not scheduled for that night. It is the return of Travel Guides and a repeat of Under Investigation with Liz Hayes.
Can Nine make up its mind?
