It will be Gladiators episode 4. Episode 5 will then air on Friday right after The Graham Norton Show.
According to the 10 EPG The Gladiators will move forward to Thursday and Friday nights at 7:30 pm - that pushes The Dog Hospital With Graeme Hall premiere out and Graham Norton to later in the night.
Thursday 18 January
07:30 pm Gladiators S01 E04
09:00 pm Law & Order: SVU Rpt
Friday 19 January
07:30 pm Gladiators S01 E05
08:50 pm The Graham Norton Show S19 E14
I just thought I would clarify what is happening:
Thursday 18 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 4 in season 5)
Friday 19 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 5 in season 1)
8:50 The Graham Norton Show (ep 14 of 19 in season 31)
Sunday 21 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 6 in season 1)
Monday 22 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 7 in season 1)
Tuesday 23 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 8 in season 1)
Wednesday 24 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 9 in season 1)
Thursday 25 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 10 in season 1)
Friday 26 January
7:30 Gladiators (ep 11 in season 1)
Notes:
- There are 12 episodes of Gladiators so the season final will air Sunday 28th
- As reported, Australian Survivor will air Monday 29th
- As reported The Dog House Australia will premiere Thursday 1 February
- The Dog Hospital with Graeme Hall premieres now after The Dog House on 1st February (which now makes more sense anyway)
Sorry some of this was accurately reported but I put the missing bits in and covered in 1 post
I miss the days where shows like Gladiators would air once a week. Watching for 70+ minutes 5-6 nights a week is a huge commitment: no wonder FTA is dying with this sort of scheduling.
The show has four episodes. If a new season of Gogglebox starts at the end of February (as in previous years), what night could The Dog Hospital be shown?
Saturday nights, where it should’ve been from the start.
Week commencing 25 January 2024
Week 5 Publicity highlights
Deal or No Deal , the exhilarating hit game show is making a triumphant return, and it’s bringing everyone’s favourite host, Grant Denyer, back with it. Now that’s a big deal!
Get ready for a new struggle of survival; one which pits the winners against the underdogs, the big wigs against the battlers in the ultimate fight when Australian Survivor**: Titans V Rebels** kicks off a brand new season.
Are you ready for tail-wagging antics, heart-warming connections, and a whole lot of love? The Dog House Australia is back for a fourth season, and we’re ready to unleash some heartfelt connections.
The new morning line up on 10 full of repeats is a disaster:. At least air new episodes of branded cooking shows. Repeats of Dr Phil and Judge Judy are just bad. Those shows aren’t even in production anymore. Lazy lazy programming.
It’s a bit concerning that replaying Neighbours, B&B and Deal or No Deal will lead to decreased numbers through their evening time-slots.
Repeats galore for the morning slots for 10. Would probably rate even less than what Studio 10 was getting, which was low in itself.
Dr Phil moves to 11am. Farm to Fork is the only new cooking show in the schedule, to be airing at 3pm.
News now has three slots in the afternoons: Midday (one hour), Afternoons at 3:30pm (30 Minutes), and the flagship at 5pm (one hour).
I believe the Neighbours Morning repeat (last year) was rating well.
Yeah it’s not great.
Without wanting to stray into mock schedule territory too much, 10 should be offering counter programming against the other commercials.
Give mornings back to Kids for a few hours and program differently to Nickelodeon while utilising Paramount content. If they wanna spend a few extra dollars, top and tail programs with some locally produced prerecorded intros.
Then it’s just a slight reordering for daytime, new cooking show block airs in the mornings as an alternative before talk show leading into Midday, encore programming which usually does well, then entertainment before Afternoons which carries into their regular lineup.

I’d start running news updates from about 8am, have someone in Sydney doing updates for all markets.
Could easily do them in the TOSS area and pretty inexpensive but carries news throughout the day and acts as promos for the 4 bulletins they’ll soon have.
Just my two cents on how it could be done relatively effectively and better.
Interesting that Dr Phil is moving. The current morning lineup mustn’t have been working.
@TV.Cynic How has Midday been rating the first few weeks of this year so far?
Agree. It would be interesting to get an update on The Midday News numbers without the Studio 10 leadin.
Go back to cartoons and preschoolers programs as a point of difference.
I agree. Launch a kids show.
But I guess that goes up against Nickelodeon.
10 could chase a slight older kid demo on 10 in the mornings than Nickelodeon at that time which is basically just Paw Patrol / Blaze, which could be enough of a point of difference?
The ratings for 10’s replacement programs have been (looks up thesaurus for adjectives) very low. Even lower than Studio 10. Though some of the impact could be due to being up against live sport on Nine and sometimes Seven. But they might also have been expected to benefit from being counter programming.
That seems to have had a bad impact on the Midday bulletin results with some of the lowest numbers seen for the bulletin. Butsome of it could be viewers still in holiday mode.
Interesting. Thanks for the insight.
But from memory, Didn’t Studio 10 get some of its best ratings this time of the year, without the other two on air?
What about Entertainment Tonight?
