  3. Robert: The regional WIN Television network that also owns Channels Nine Adelaide and Perth, has chosen not to follow Nine’s change to bring back the dots to the logo.

  4. Just wondering if you know why 9 Perth hasnt followed the eastern network with re-adding the dots to it’s logo. I notice programs that are streamed across live have the dots, but any other local nine programs broadcast don’t. Is there any particular reason you are aware of?

  6. The Chaser team were fed up with getting into trouble and have decided to do a series of stage shows this year. I think that I read somewhere that they were returning to ABC1 later in the year.

  10. I would be interested to know the lowest rating show of the week (if they publish those), and how many people watched the show (no doubt some show in the early morning).

  14. Hi David,

    Love your work. You had been posting details of upcoming episodes of ‘At The Movies’ – and I haven’t seen a similar post since mid-April for the episodes in the second half of April.

    Can you still do this, or is Aunty not playing ball? Or is the readership insufficiently grateful?

  15. David, any word on the return of any of these shows?

    The Office(channel 10), it is not even being aired on there HD channel, not a good sign when that happens.

    Hotel Babylon(channel 9), still no sign of it returning, and yet another program which isn’t even airing on the HD channel( 9HD).

    Thanks

  16. Kristen Seven has actually shown all the eps that aired in the US. It was heavily affected by the writers strike. More will be produced by it hasn’t done well enough to retain a 9:30 slot when it returns.

  18. ACA did a story on a heart check clinic with dubious conduct in which people were given results that led them to further expensive tests. A doctor had blown the whistle on their practices driven by money.

    Val Lehman as a senior celebrity had fronted some print ads and during an interview refused to address it. She told the interviewer (in no uncertain terms) that she knew nothing about the claims and was therefore unable to answer the questions.

    Val being Val nevertheless gave good, angry footage that suited ACA’s story anyway. Given her surprise at the questions, she may have been lured before the cameras on the premise of another story.

    ACA used and identified an actor reconstructing the doctor’s claims. A spokesperson for Nine said they may do a follow up story.

    It would be nice if they allowed Val right of reply once she had all the facts too (and they had a typo on ‘Queen BeE’ in the promos).

  19. Hi David, yesterday there was an ad on the radio for A Current Affair about something to do with Val Lehman. I didn’t happen to see ACA last night but do you know what it was about?

  20. I didn’t always agree with Fidge but I loved his passion and his experience. I miss the H Sun not having an opinion section in its Guide too.

    I’ve done some pieces for The Age (amongst others) and H Sun is aware of my work, but I’m not sure on what level. I don’t know why they don’t have a serious TV blog!

  21. Dave,
    Robert Fidgeon died sometime last year, and I still miss reading his rants every Wednesday in the Herald Sun TV Guide. Have you considered writing for the paper’s TV Guide. the same way Robert did?

  24. Disappointingly Hell’s Kitchen is S1, and yes later series have already aired on Lifestyle Food.

    I will have to check Smallville with FOX8. They may not answer for that far ahead…

  25. David, Smallville starts on FOX8 Friday May 30. It premieres with season four. I was wondering if you could find out for me and all other fans out if they plan to go straight to season five and then to six and so on. As most of us do not have TENHD this would be fantastic if FOX8 could manage to do this for us. Thank you in advance.
