wireMore changes for GO! from as early as tonight.

Moonlight will be a double episode tonight from 8:30pm meaning no Gossip Girl. This will see the Moonlight‘s finale air next week, November 19th. Gossip Girl appears to be pausing at Ep 13.

Next Wednesday The Wire is out, replaced by a double episode of Fringe from 8:30pm. Double Fringe also continues a week later.

Drop Dead Diva is out on Thursday 19th replaced by the 2005 movie House of Wax at 9:30pm. The show is back on November 26th but at 10:30pm.

On Sunday 22nd The Big Bang Theory airs from 7:30 – 9pm with the movie 300 to follow.

All being well things should settle in December when the race for ratings has ended. Do not adjust your set.

  1. These changes are ridiculous. I don’t watch a lot of the programs on GO!, although I did sit down in front of Gossip Girl on a Thursday night. Not a big deal seeing as I’ve kept up with all of season 3 online, but I don’t see how they expect viewers to continue watching their channel if they don’t know what’s on and when. At the moment all I’m finding the channel good for is flicking through and hopefully seeing episodes of Seinfeld on.

  2. I’ve been pretty relaxed about all the changes up until now, but it is now becoming too much and just like channel 9. I was watching gossip girl and weeds, if they had been changed to another timeslot it would be ok, but they have been taken off, hopefully they won’t be gone for too long but viewer trust will take a lot longer to restore. 10HD never pulled this crap.

  3. Other than homeFLOP 9 seem incapable of showing a series in it’s correct order from start to finish without chopping and changing times/dates or dropping repeats in between.

  4. Ummm . . . what? This is Gossip Girl they’re pausing not some yuck ‘The Hills’. The reason that so few have been watching it is because everyone in that show’s key younger demographic region are already watching season 3 online. I know I am. Even Foxtel is too far behind. I’m not waiting, it’s too good a show.

  5. Sooo unimpressed with Gossip Girl change for Thursday night 12th. Even GO! blurb said it as on, plus every other guide I looked at. I just want some consistency from at least one channel!! There was nothing wrong with the lineup. It had me hooked (well, it did).

  6. I can’t believe how many people actually put some trust in nine with it’s new Go channel, after all the programs they treated with contempt on it’s Main channel, they are doing the exact same thing with Go!
    Whoever is responsible for nine and go’s programming deserves the boot….

  7. What are they thinking!

    This is the reason people don’t trust Nine/GO! and go else where to what many of these shows years ago…

    BTW will any of these changes be in print of updated online/onscreen?

  11. More arrogant stupidity from Nine. I had thought that the 2nd channel would give them the freedom to lock things into the schedule and leave them – but if anything it’s worse than the main channel.

    Has anyone noticed that there’s 5 episodes of Survivor on this week? Now that’s an immunity challenge!

  12. I think the programmers have been smokin the wacky tobaccy. I mean look at Channel Nine this year.

    Putting Dance your as* off at prime time ! then putting on motorway patrol then cancelling it putting moonlight on , on the main channel even though it was airing on their secondary channel removing it after a couple of episodes, then replacing it with secret diary of a call girl then removing that series. Putting Ladette to Lady on for a second season , 1st season was ok, now the second one no one is watching it. Australia’s perfect couple , home made, random acts of kindness .. terrible shows. nine should really stop with reality shows as they suck at doing them. taking big bang theory out for a week and then returning it. advertising 2.5 men new episodes one one day and then they are changed to another day. overuse of 2.5 men as a filler. I have seen the lastest tv guide online and they have 3 episodes of 2.5 men consecutively, they are also doing this with GO! with seinfeld, yes ten uses the simpsons ab it, but not like 2.5 men ! taking secret millionaire off without telling people and replacing it with a show that rated poorly in it’s country of origin

  14. Does channel 7 run GO!? And are they just trying to sabotage Nine/ GO!? Because seriously, these are the most stupid moves in TV. Nine, you had me thinking you were starting to change, but it seems you’re just more of the same.

    I like Fringe, but 2 eps a week is a bit much for me- space it out to 1 please.

  15. Not content with destroying Nine, they have to go and stuff up a perfectly good Go! schedule and ruin that channel before it has even fully established itself.

    Those Nine programmers are like a pubescent boy who can’t keep his hands off it. Leave the bloody Go! schedule alone, Healey, and let the series that are currently playing run their course.

  17. I agree with Vinny–The Big Bang Theory, Fringe & Moonlight are some of the highest rating programs on GO! No wonder they want to finish there seasons up prior to the end of the ratings year.

    It is however sucky of GO! not to publish this information ahead of time and keep there own advertising material on the channel up to date.

    It also in a way makes sense to give Gossip Girl a “break” at ep13, as that is the original mid-season break they used in the US back in 2007. (it is annoying of GO! to use S3 advertisments for Gossip Girl when they are showing S1 though!)

  19. I wonder if this sudden change in plans will be a pass or fail for them. I hope it is a fail, not just becuase I hate Nine, but as a lesson to not stuff your viewers around.

  22. this is so stupid! whats the point in creating a new channel thats meant to be there for low rating shows and so they can air them un-interrupted, when it ends up no different then the main channel?!

  24. Not happy with The Wire changes. I held off obtaining the final season to watch it on GO!.

    You’ve now lost me GO!.. it should be illegal to interrupt a schedule change mid-way through a season.

  25. I could see this happening. I was thinking last night, I bet they will stuff around with weekdays and what da you know, they do ! I must be psychic !

    Not good !

    Who do I contact to complain about these changes, acma ? can someone point me in the direction of somewhere.

    I can’t understand why they are changing it, by changing a good line up they are effectively letting 7 two win.

    Wonder what the reasoning behind the changes is?
