There seems to be some weird overlaying of the WIN logos over the “10” and Peach logos. This is not a one-off, it appears throughout the whole week’s listing.
Seven SA (the old SES8) gets a listing, presumably it still overlaps into western Victoria
Imparja gets a listing for the VAST viewers but for Seven Central and Ten Central it looks like you’ll just have to check the other 7 and 10 themed channels
7Flix and 9Life given prime time listings only.
I reckon it needs a bit of a tidy up, just seems very messy.
Seems like a waste of space to have entire collumns dedicated to the guides of channels like Seven SA & Imparja for the sake of a couple of program variations.
Wouldn’t it be easier to have full collumns for the main affiliates in each state + capital city programming variants and another to the side for all the slight programming variants on VAST/solus markets? Maybe get rid of synopses if that results a more comprehensive listing for the multichannels as well.
The 10/WIN overlay has happened on and off for about 3 months in the Tassie edition.
I’ve been in country Vic before, really don’t understand why you end up with essentially the same tv guide repeated by having Imparja or Prime7/SevenSA, I thought it was silly.
Still no NITV either, which is dumb.
SES 8 and RTS5a has historically been featured in the country Vic edition, along with the ABC column split into half with seperate Vic and SA listings.
I’d have it like this, going from left to right across two pages, each line in its own column:
ABC
ABC Comedy/Kids | ABC 3 | ABC News
SBS
SBS Viceland | SBS Food | NITV
Seven
7Two | 7Mate | 7Flix | 7Food Network | Regional Variations
Nine
9Go | 9Gem | 9Life | Regional Variations
Ten
10 BOLD | 10 Peach | WIN Variations/SNOW
With the regional variations, all you’d say is, for example:
9NBN: 6:00pm NBN News all other times as per Nine
Only mention when they opt out of the network schedule.
That could work. Mind you, we both forgot Your Money in our posts. But I’m sure you’d only have to list it once if the programs are the same across the week.
My layout:
Page 1- ABC | SBS | 7 | 9 | 10
Page 2- ABC Kids/Comedy | ABC Me | SBS Viceland | SBS Food | split of NITV and ABC News
Page 3- 7two | 7mate | 7flix | 7food network | 9Gem
Page 4- 9Go | 9life | 10Bold | 10Peach | split of racing and Your Money/Sky News on WIN.
I’d actually go back to the old setup of having the overnight programming in smaller print instead of having “early or late Programs” there.
The way 9Gem is going with all the shopping you could almost restrict it to half a column too.
