In my last post I meant ex GP actress Denise Roberts sorry.
If Nine originally wanted the Sunday timeslot for Schapelle, they should have announced an airdate well in advance rather than leaving to the last minute. Silly move as Nine will now lose Monday night as well (in addition to Sunday).
Nine will win this battle on Sunday – but it’s over to the audience to decide who will win the war this year.
INXS will beat it by 600,000+
I’ll watch Rake but Scha’pelle will knock all the opposition out of the water. It”ll be like an extended version of ‘A Current Affair’. Come to think of it Denise Richards is a pretty impressive actress so I might Scha’pelle anyway.
I am still planning to record INXS and watch the two parts all together. Its not like we don’t know what happens.
Not sure can’t Schapelle. I can’t be bothered and my PVR will already be getting a work out recording The Block and MKR.
I’ll be watching Schapelle coz not really into INXS but bad move 9, now that ad for shapelle will be on every ad break so everyone knows errrr (stupid stupid stupid)
I think 7 should fight back, dump SN, and give INXS a MKR leadin.
6:00 7news
7:00 MKR
8:30 (not 45) INXS.
Seriously, who gives a shit?
They will both be repeated.. oh sorry, “encored” about five times each over the next week or two, and a few more times on digital multichannels, so who cares about this anymore?
channel 9 could not have timed the telemovie better with her release due at anytime.
Ring a ding ding…ratings season is back!
If I were seven I would seriously consider pulling INXS and saving it for another time. I reckon it will be thumped with the hype surrounding Ms Corby at the moment.
Seven has 4 eps of kitchen rules, that would if not win a few nights for them, have them within strking distance.
Wow what a strange move. Bet some people will miss it becuase of the change and wont be to happy.
See INXS beating this for sure but it should still get at least a million
Channel 9 couldn’t have bought the publicity they’ve recevied for Schapelle this week.
I think MKR will beat Block but Schapelle will beat INXS.
The loser will be Ch 10.
I wonder if Channel 9 have some inside information on her release date. Kinda makes me wonder why they would do this as the INXS mini series will win hands down
So Nine can edit in a final scene with Schapelle being released?
The the true battle will lie in the time shifting numbers!!!
Disgraceful and childish programming by Nine. This last-minute move is to the detriment of Aussie productions and viewers. There will be no winner out of this. Was looking forward to watching Schapelle but won’t be tuning in now, I refuse to reward this sort of behaviour.
Do we still get two episodes of Revenge on Monday? That’s all i care about.
silly decision by Nine. It would get better ratings if it was left on Monday night.
Doesn’t matter now… I’ll be watching Rake over on the ABC.
Stupid move. I’ll have to miss out on one now as I am already PVRing two channels.
Nine is advertising a start time of 8.40 for Sunday
What a ridiculous and selfish decision by Nine. Programming 101, give your show some space to grab as much audience as possible.
A majority of the audience is better than half the audience.
Two big event TV dramas going head to head like this doesn’t do anybody good. Bad for the industry.
I think someone at Nine programming is going to be shown the door on monday if Inxs craps all over Schapelle
Why is this not a shock to me? Can you blame a fraught, fruitless network for engaging in such a manoeuvre?
Seven will obliterate all the competition on Sunday with “My Kitchen Rules”, “Sunday Night” and “INXS: Never Tear Us Apart”.
I hope Seven will still go ahead with the double episode of Revenge.
