tmzSome changes to GO! will see TMZ move back to 6:30pm from Monday September 14th with two episodes of Speeders to air from 7:30 – 8:30pm (corrected).

Speeders promises thus:

Following the work of the police from California to Kansas, in each episode we ride with the officers as they track drivers breaking the law and confront them with the evidence. We’ll see the best chases, the tearful confessions, the excuses and the outbursts as America’s finest pull over unsuspecting speeders.

On Tuesday 15th & Wednesday 16th and Friday 18th, Seinfeld airs from 7:30pm – 8:30pm.

However on Thursday 17th at 7:30pm it’s the pilot episode of Drop Dead Diva.

Diva will be off air on Nine for two weeks this month due to Farmer Wants a Wife finale and a movie but returns later in the month.

  2. I think as long as people are watching Nine OR Go! , Nine are happy.
    I think TMZ will be the better rater of TMZ and ET, and TMZ skews way younger than ET – so Go! is putting it against 16-39 timeslot winner Neighbours to try and damage it and Ten. makes sense.

  4. so tmz use to be on at 6:30 before? is this the third change to the 6pm time-slot then?, doesn’t make much sense to move the flinstones to 6 when you know your just going to change it again in a 2 weeks.

  5. So Nine isn’t content with messing up their own schedule, they are now turning GO into a finger-painting mess…

    I guess you can’t teach an old dog… etc etc…

    And I guess that’s the end of the cartoon hour that GO launched at 6pm just a few days ago? And it was good to have Seinfeld in a consistent timeslot at 8pm each weeknight. But of course it was too much to expect Nine to show some consistency with its new channel.

    Perhaps they should change the logo to “GO?”

  8. just saw an ad for weeds season 3 while watching moonlight, it is coming soon, perhaps in the october strong launch? i’ve also been wondering what will take the place of moonlight since it doesn’t last too long, maybe vampire diaries? although that timeslot might not open up in time for a decent fast track.

  9. @JD: Sorry about that, just I wasn’t sure whether you had watched Curb before. Nice to see another fan 🙂

    Well, Go has said that Curb will be on the schedule, so I guess all we can do is that it’s sooner rather than later. Judging by the promos (though it could just be a move by Go to counter the attention that ABC is getting) for The Wire, it does seem like Go is slowly getting around to putting some more shows into rotation.

    @Craig: I’m assuming so, as that’s what they did with Fringe. That said, that’s not much a precedent to go on.

  11. i liked TMZ where it was, but so far none of the tweeks have upset me, i watched AFHV show like twice and i saw clips repeated so no big loss there, and there is still one night of CSI so no shows have actually disappeared from the channel, every show is still to be seen somewhere on the two 9 channels. as for canabalising the audience i sure don’t fall into that category because the only thing i watch on 9 is drop dead diva but i watch heaps of stuff on GO.

  12. @Vic

    I understand that, what i ment was that in general there are good shows that aren’t getting shown at all yet there is plenty of rubbish littered throughout Go’s schedule.

    Obviously Curb could never be shown before 9-30 but it should be in the schedule somewhere.

  14. Yay! I actually enjoy TMZ.

    @JD: Not a chance in hell. Curb is way too offensive to be shown in anything but the tailend of primetime (the c-word isn’t something that the regulators take lightly, and you can guarantee it will be said at least once per episode).

    I would like to see Go slide a good comedy into that spot though. If Ten could be convinced, then The Office (US) would be a great choice. I doubt Seven would give up on Scrubs or 30 Rock, unless they were offered something good in return.

    Maybe they could buy Monk and Psych off Ten? Both, especially the former have enough episodes stockpiled so that they could use it as a strip show.

  20. its a new channel. Give them a break. The official launch isn’t til October so they are trying to get things right. Try launching a channel and getting everything perfect. Whingers

  21. Actually, I think there is a bit more to be read into these changes. I suspect Nine is messing with some GO! shows because they are taking viewers away from the Main Nine Channel and not viewers from other channels. I have heard that Nine Sales have been doing a bit of research into where GO! viewers are coming from. Whilst GO! figures are counted into the Nine figure, it is a little bit different when you are trying to sell advertising time to clients. Its the concern that FTA have always had about the second channels cannibalizing the main channels.

  23. Great here goes Nine messing with GO! guess I’ll have to watch them closely to know when my shows are on, what of the lunch time encore David, will Seinfeld run from 11:30 – 12:30?
