This looks like a temu The Living Room

Why 8.30 on Fridays, and not at 7.30? Are 10 going to still air repeats of Love It or List It at 7.30?

I know its one long ad for CommBank. But at least its nrw content on a Friday night.

And good to see Adam Liaw on 10 again.

Same reasoning as Seven showing The House of Wellness in the same slot?

did anyone even remember this being on before? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Especially as we didn’t even have a thread for it last time around?

Interesting timeslot. Canned half hour of the Saturday 6PM news?

EDIT - nvm, that promo was from 2024

Well, an hour of minutes of news is more than enough. Ten have been all over the place with their evening timeslots.

The first seadon ran from 11 May to 6 July 2024.

but yet there she is in the line-up for the last series?

So are all the others though.

Admittedly, I lost interest stopped reading after Narelda’s name.

Very weird phrasing, like they are new to the show.

How long til this ends up replacing News+ as an infomercial :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh yeah, I forgot that Season One had aired in the prized slot of a Saturday night at 6pm…

Is Friday nights at 8.30pm any better?
