.....Channel Nine.

Channel Nine is officially holder of the first amendment of the 2010 ratings year after it issued a switch this morning.
It’s adding a repeat of The Mentalist to 9:30pm this Thursday, in place of a double episode of CSI: New York.
Now instead of two CSI episodes airing, it will just be one, “Communication Breakdown” moved to 10:30pm.
The Mentalist repeat is “Bloodshot” S1E16.
Of course late on Friday TEN also suddenly dumped Malcolm in the Middle in favour of more Simpsons repeats plus Biggest Loser replays, while Seven last week added a bunch of repeats of My Kitchen Rules, Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters to daytimes too. But it’s all about timing, Nine was first after we crossed the line in the ratings sand.
Next up we’ll have to see who is first to dump a show after getting a look at its 2010 ratings, which is actually a far more significant programming blink than this one.

First to dump a show…. My money’s on 10!!!!
The first dumping of 2010 will be none other than Royal Pains.
No surprises really, but I feel the most anger and betrayel towards Ten, who dumped malcolm in the middle and judge judy.
how could they cut malcolm in the middle. this was the one show that brought happiness and laughter to my family and now its gone. please put it back on
Yes CSI: NY is new at 10:30pm.
Is CSI NY going to be a new episode or an old one? I hope it’s a new one as we are so behind from the US.
Is The Mentalist becoming the new L&O, NCIS or other shows over exposed, this week they will have the new episode and two re-runs, that’s 2 wasted hours that could have been used for other shows.
At least Channel 9 came first in something for once!
Any idea what has happened to “Come Dine with Me” on 7. This is the second time it has been taken off air. Will it be coming back? Not having pay TV I had not seen it before it came to channel 7. Cheers
CDWM is back 3pm Mon Feb 15 at this stage.
Hardly that much of a change, 2 episodes down to 1…. If on the other hand it was news that Nine was dropping a show now that would be bad !
