Lock it in again, Eddie

Nine adds repeats of Hot Seat to its late night schedule immediately.

hot-seat-eddieNine has just slipped in extra late-night runs of Hot Seat into the schedule from 11:30pm tonight.

It will run Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Thursday and Friday schedules are usually affected by sports so it isn’t slated to run then.

Repeats of The Ellen De Generes Show, normally in at 11:30pm, will screen at midnight.

Most networks run extra screenings of shows to lift ailing figures.

Curiously, Nine hasn’t flagged this as an “Encore” screening, which is often the branding given to repeats by many commercial networks.

  1. David, have you noticed Channel 7 now has repeats of Deal or No Deal on at 1.30am today??
    …also, what’s with Channel 9 putting on ABC’s 20/20 (from March I might add) on at 1am… weird??

  2. What sort of programming decision is this? Isn’t the whole point of having the program to improve the 5:30 timeslot and lead in for the news and prime time ratings? Repeating it late at night isn’t going to help. The people watching TV then are likely to be people who aren’t home at 5:30 anyways.

    Marco, totally agree about the roulette question. Based on progress of elimination it had to be 5 and I no nothing about roulette. Can Nine give me my $100,000 now please.

  3. A little off topic but 100K just went off on Hotseat. Fantastic, but the guy so thoroughly didn’t deserve the win, given the question was a “gimme” by having to work out which of the following numbers on a roulette were red: 0, 2, 5 and 8!

    He went with 2 originally, and at the last second, changed it to 5 for no reason at all. You don’t even need to know roulette numbers to have worked that out!!! Odd number out!!! Black, red, black, red. Unbelievable.

  4. Thats just peachy. They couldnt screen Weeds cos of the Ellen Degenerates repeat yet they can bump that for Eddie Everywhere. Resigned to the fact that we are just never going to see it. As for Hot Seat, think I would rather be done over with a Red Hot Poker.
