Less movies, more drama on 7flix.
Movie channel is now without movies two nights of the week, as it finds its feet.

7flix is amending its schedule again, with more US series in place of movies.
Criminal Minds repeats will now air at 8:30pm, 9:30pm and 10:30pm Thursday. The change follows Grey’s Anatomy at 8:30pm Mondays, despite the channel launching with a promise of 8:30 movies every night of the week.
“From the very beginning, the promos for 7flix featured movie content and US dramas/comedies,” a Seven spokesperson said.
“We launched with 8.30 movies every night, but the plan was always to introduce US drama into the primetime schedule – which we’d done within the first month as you know.”
The launch of any new channel is likely to be subject to programming changes as it beds in, but 7flix has had a modest launch, last week averaging  1.5% share. The challenge will be to build an audience whilst it sticks to its channel brand of movies.
“7flix remains on brand as a place to view movies you love and great US drama,” said the spokesperson.

No word on when this channel will be available in the Prime viewing area?
No sorry!
I feel bad for Prime7 and GWN7 viewers who can’t get 7flix and I find that’s wrong! Luckily I’m in Perth.
So 7FLIX is now pretty much the same as the rest now …………
there have been much better, albeit some older & classic, movies on SBS of late…
Just checked this because of the large amount of comments…
I cannot get this channel….and not interested in purchasing things …so I can.
