This is a bit of a big deal.
Seven has pushed The X Factor from its 7pm start on Sunday to 8pm.
Sunday Night will screen at 7pm in its place.
The move follows disappointing ratings for the show this season, amid speculation it may not return next year.
For the kind of money the show is costing Seven it would be a timeslot move it would not take lightly.
The show will now wrap at 10pm according to guides.
Monday’s verdict show is still in play at 7:30pm Monday.

Smart play by Seven. Going head to head with The Block finale was never going to work.
Saving themselves (some) embarrassment.
Look at Guy’s face on the right! He thinks that the future for TXF will be very bleak.
To be fair, he is reacting to a moment in the show, such as an act going home.
Props to you David for finding that screenshot and using it so perfectly for this story. I’ll say it again it is why your the best in the biz.
Perfect photo! It’s a reflection of me when I see this show and MKR in the EPG.
I think changing timeslots will hurt the show even further. I think channel 7 should rest the show next year. Don’t axe it. Just rest it and bring it back in 2018 with a full, long, proper season. None of this shortened version like The Voice. Australia loved the long extended X Factor and they loved the show as it was one that produced actual stars. So remember, do not axe the show just rest it.
Seems unlikely it’s returning next year isn’t it.
Disappointed,I would have preferred a 7pm start
Although I agree that this years X Factor has been very lacklustre, I am saddened by its apparent demise.
Considering the first half hour is up against The Block finale (which doesn’t finish until 8.30), will the timeslot switch matter anyway?
The Block isn’t going to finish at 8:30, it is currently scheduled to finish at 8:30….. Add 30 minutes??
