Last week Seven sent through an amendment that The Event would be airing at 9:30pm from next Monday.

But yesterday it sent an another, to push it out to 10:30pm instead.

No doubt much of that was driven by Monday’s ratings of 642,000 viewers.

Now it will play double episodes of Criminal Minds from 8:30pm.

As a result Sexiest Women Of The World and That 70’s Show are out.

Coincidentally, The Event yesterday received its “back nine” order from NBC. Law & Order: Los Angeles and Outsourced also received full season orders.

Amended.

  1. I really like The Event and I hope they don’t put it onto 7mate. If they did I wouldn’t be able to watch the show anymore because we still don’t get 7mate and 7two were I live.

  4. @Jimbo – it’s only 6 days, so unless they have it at 10:30pm Tuesday there might not be a better time slot, unless they end up moving it to Mate or Two.

    @Adam – it probably didn’t help being moved with little notice to 9:30 but I wouldn’t rule it out yet, given NBC just gave it a 22 eps commitment. If no one bothered watching new shows then nothing new would last long on TV.

    I like it, it’s a mystery with a mix of scifi… which is probably why it’s not working on FTA here, mind you some 200 markets around the world apparently have bought the rights so it can’t be all bad.

    NBC: “Additionally, “The Event” was licensed to nearly 200 territories internationally even before its U.S. premiere, and is launching in numerous regions abroad to impressive ratings.”
