2014-02-02_1851Nine has moved its Schapelle telemovie from Monday to Sunday night.

It says the change is due to “current events.”

  1. Typical move by nine, they have been very childish for several years now, think this channel has gone to the dogs since it left the Packer family, and Scapelle will be repeated again and again and again, and not forgetting again, so viewers can watch it as many times as they like, again and again and again.

  2. My friend asked me advice about my DVD recorder on Friday because she is about to buy one so she can take the second episode of Revenge on Monday because the finishing time is too late & she doesn’t want to miss the end. Can 7 confirm for me (& her) whether Revenge is still two hours on Monday so she can save her money if not required. Looks like The Good Guys might also benefit from the ratings war.

    At the end of the day her new DVD player will come in handy whilst 7 & 9 make scheduling changes we can still tape whatever we like.

    I’ll just watch Rake And avoid the hype…

  3. And there we all were a few days ago applauding Nine for screening Shapelle away from INX. Well they can get stuffed now. They care not for us viewers one iota.

  4. Only checked this out because of the number of posts it generated…
    Personally….don’t care…cannot understand all the brouhaha…
    I will be watching Escape to the Country.

  5. “Never Tear Us Apart” to start @ 8.30pm will mean a 10 minute jump on “Schapelle” @ 8.40pm.
    Interesting to see which programme has the better production values?
    From promos, NTUA looks to be more polished than a tackier Schapelle!

  6. @Adam Oriti Art well it helps if the pvr epg is up to date, my Beywonwiz says 8.40pm Mayday Terror on Qf32, then 9.40pm Unknown (2011). So for some people who don’t watch alot of tv & don’t see the updated Schapelle promo with the new time, they might not even see it on their epg to schedule recording. I’m not knowledgable enough about pvr’s to know if this is a hardware problem, or Nine’s fault its not updated….

  7. Good grief – what’s happening over at Nein? Has someone from Seven news been giving them advice on how to make changes that the audience doesn’t know whats on?

  8. Have they rescheuled Mayday Mayday – Terror on QF32 as yet? That was supposed to be on a 8.40pm on Sunday . I will be watching INXS. Have little interest in watching schapelle.

  9. all i know is 9 have ruined a perfectly good John Legend song, damn them! agree with you kimbeth, its obviously all co-ordinated for a reason. I feel a bit sorry for 10 really.

  10. Monday night against a double episode of Revenge with MKR as a lead-in, Sochi and the ABC’s dependable current affairs lineup would be no piece of cake for Schapelle either.

    They may as well take on INXS while Schapelle is news. At the moment. Nine is only beating Seven on Thursdays.

    And this way they will be putting it on before critics reviews labeling it as a sensationalist melodrama that contains no new or interesting material.

    Nine doesn’t care about TV Guide or reviews and they get the most <60s doing so, so that won't worry them.

  11. Some publicity is always helpful, but I think a lot of people will be sick of hearing about Schapelle Corby come Sunday.

    I predict a victory for INXS and some very red faces at Nine come Monday morning.

  12. I will be watching schapelle on about 25 minutes delay so that i can FF all the ads and recording the inxs but i think nine was stupid to change it at the last minute changing shows at the last minute pisses off viewers and some will undoubtably miss it i wonder when they will be showing the qantas thing which was supposed to be on sunday night my guess will be monday

  13. thats a shame. But I will be watching INXS. Maybe people will tape one and watch the other.

    But it will sort of backfire is she doesnt get parole on the weekend. I dont think it matters if she comes out sunday or monday. In fact it may backfire on 9 because people are starting to get sick of the news stories.

    But its a shame 2 aussie mini series are pinned up against each other.

    I still hope 7 are showing double revenge

  14. Nine were still showing commercials last night advertising the Monday screening. Due to the late change – and how how people know about it – INXS is easily go to win the ratings over this show.

    I’m predicting 1.6m (INXS) vs 800k (Nine) vs 500k (Rake, ABC1).

    Have Nine made an announcement on what will screen on Monday night?

  15. Corby looks like possibly being released on Monday so from this you can assume that ch9 are planning something else Schapelle related on Monday night pending release obviously.

  16. I care not for Schappelle. Have been looking forward to INXS for months. If you want to see the Schapelle drama all you need to do is watch the news for the next few days. Nein are banking on the renewed interest. It will not end well.
