Nine has released its new schedule for GO!, its youth channel set to begin on August 9th.
With its mix of mostly US shows it will be a chance for television fans to soak up missing titles, or sample favourites they have only ever heard about.
Many of the US programmes such as Fringe, Gossip Girl, Moonlight, The Big Bang Theory, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Eleventh Hour begin from their pilot episode.
Additional titles that have not received any earlier press include TMZ at 11am / 7:30pm weeknights, and The ARIA Music Show to run from 1am – 7am daily.
With its 12 hour block programming, many evening titles will screen with a next day repeat, as per pay television models (alas prime time repeats in the day are from GO! not Nine).
Programmed not to conflict with Nine’s audience, there are plenty of tempting titles on offer. Prime time viewing is as follows:

Where’s Flashpoint?
As the other poster noticed ( \/ way down there somewhere), 2400 and 2500 are not any time that is familar to anyone on Earth outside the programming department of Channel 9. Takes me back to that Micallef sketch where they had monkeys throwing the schedule together (I could be wrong here though… but he meant that C9 is run my morons).
Still, is a welcome start. If it evolves and succeeds, maybe it will be huge hit. I can see the potential is there for ‘difficult’ shows and kids programming, as well as the late night music being well worth it. But! More movies please! I only saw 2 listed in the first week!
Nice to see Nine really going for the youth market and having the Aria show overnight. Be good to have music clips to watch – beats informercials!
Me too! I love it.
I think GO will now be my most watched TV station. There’s about 7 or 8 hours a week in there that I’d watch, which is pretty much the entire amount of TV I’d watch in a week now.
While many of the shows may not pull huge audiences, they are certainly shows that would manage to pull a reasonable loyal audience, hopefully encouraging advertisers.
there are things to like about this schedule but given Nine is committed to a $100m a year contract with Warner I thought there might be a greater variety of shows and movies rather than a handful of titles on 12-hour rotation including more CSI which is already done to death on the normal Channel 9.
Although I will enjoy Bewitched and Seinfeld.
And The Flintstones which I haven’t seen for years.
I mean also, wouldn’t the Warner Bros deal see Nine having access to its cartoon catalogue, eg. Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Merrie Melodies… etc etc… the classic cartoons!
Will this channels ratings be recorded seperately?
Also isn’t it airing on HD only channel in regional areas until they get the second SD channel up, then it will move onto that and HD will return to normal?
The Teen Titans and Xiaolin Showdown episodes shown twice on weekdays, doesn’t make any sense at all. This will be the third time Teen Titans (season 5) and Xiaolin Showdown (season 3) are been repeated from the start again, in a row! Meanwhile we still have not seen the last three episodes of Teen Titans (season 5).
It is good to see the many cartoon series hosted by Kids WB will continue and be expanded on Nine Go!. I’m looking forward to Krypto the Superdog, Legion of Super Heroes and especially Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. I’m curious to see what the old classic Marine Boy was like too.
Unfortunately many of the new cartoon series aren’t starting from first season, due to more rights expiring I expect:
Class of 3000 is unknown (no episode title listed).
Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends is season 5.
Krypto the Superdog is season 2.
Legion of Super Heroes is season 1.
Life and Times of Juniper Lee is season 2
Squirrel Boy is season 1.
I really wonder if Nine will manage to show complete season of some cartoon series, before the rights expire. For example, Krypto the Superdog season 1 only expired recently.
Thanks for the heads up David.
The kids lineup looks quite interesting.
I’ll be setting my PVRs to catch Batman, Scooby Doo, Jetsons, Flintstones so my kids can enjoy the same shows I used to watch.
They are already enjoying Charlie’s Angels, Bewitched and Jeannie on 9HD.
SD on GO! will be more convenient since they will take up less space on the PVR.
It would be nice to put on some Aussie shows. How about reruns of Skippy?
Tried to search for the official GO! website – took a few GOes!
Typed “GO!” into ninemsn’s Bing and couldn’t find it on the first 10 pages even just searching Australia – GO! figure!
this actually sounds good, considering its nine at least. nice to have seinfeld on weeknights and gossip girl has a good hour as well, although it does clash with rush, which is an absolute cracker of a show. nice one GO
pretty good, there are atleast 8 shows i’ll be watching, and probably more once it is fully launched because they do have a few more offerings up their sleeves. hope that fringe will be unedited this time, since they are giving the ads away for free they don’t have to cut it down to fit more in. in that hope i’ll delete the stored episodes i currently have that have been sitting there unwatched waiting for 9 to screen the rest and i’ll start fresh with the GO screening and actually watch the episodes this time. with the old shows like bewitched and the kids cartoons being on GO am i right in presuming they will no longer be on 9HD and it will return to a simulcast of 9 apart from any shows not appearing on GO?
Good to see that Go are starting from the beginning for many series (include CSI NY and Terminator). Hopefully fans of such shows will get an uninterrupted run of these shows.
I wonder if The Closer will get a run being that it gets treated like dirt by the main ch? It’s arguably Nine’s best cop show and deserves better.
Ideally what I would actually like to see is two GO! chs one for recent stuff and another devoted completely to classic tv.
As Casey lists – so much more they could be offering. It looks like a cable channel with back-to-back episodes, daily repeats and stipped primetime programming. Think it’s quite poor actually. Can’t find it on WIN. Don’t think I’ll be looking too hard now. Their first movie “National Lampoon” something, already been aired umteen times.
Is the Wipeout on launch night the much delayed “Biggest Hits” episode, as it’s not marked as a repeat?
And perhaps if a repeat run did relatively well for GO!, Nine would reconsider taking a second series. I imagine the US one might end up there too.
9 you deserve an applause. this channel looks great. just step it up on ur main channel
To everyone asking: yes, it launches for Win on the same day.
I’m kind of happy – I guess. I mean, I have already watched Survivor: Gabon, and Tocantines through other sources, but I do like their whole old school angle. I’m a big fan of most of these shows, and I will certainly be tuning in. Any news on what their overnight programming will be?? I’d love it if they had more of the same, enough of Gunthey Renker or whatever it’s called…
I for one, am all systems Go!
(wow… the inner nerd in me just really enjoyed that horrible pun)
WoW! Nothing I can see there that I want to watch. Seinfeld is on TV1 at 8:30 weeknights, which is 8pm Adelaide time, so makes nothing extra for that time slot.
Congratulations, Nine. You have just given me a reason to go and buy myself a cheap set top box before August 9. Finally.
Wow……… it’s just like walking into a Blockbuster DVD store….
Does it launch on WIN the same day as it does for Nine?
Is this an HD Channel?? I’m confused.
awesome sched – though some shows are missing such as Pushing Daisies… maybe later on in the year. Its good that the people at Nine are skewing to younger audiences and its another reason for me to not get Foxtel! Beginning from their pilot episodes – its good for those who wanna relive it!
What?!?!?!?! No Two and a Half Men or 20 to 1 anywhere!!! (well for now anyway) Are you sure that Go! is run by Nine???
@ tasmanian devil: i think you’ll find Dance Your Ass Off is one of the first examples of Nine’s strategy of moving poor-performing shows directly to Go! since its been axed from Nine’s main channel. A good strategy I must say, as it is still availible to those people that may have actually liked it.
“It’s all systems GO!”
If nothing else, at least this channel gives TV writers huge scope for puns. (Love your work, David.) But it’s a reasonably interesting lineup, and it’ll give the general public greater impetus to switch to digital than ONE’s truck racing in Idaho, as the saying goes.
