What’s with Free to Air networks and their obsession with double episodes
Hm, SBS are doing more of this sort of thing lately. Have they recently hired a programmer from Seven or Nine? It’ll push their late news out to around 11:20 on Wed. Presumably they’re making room for something to start in March.
I don’t mind because I’m recording them so I can binge-watch the whole season!
Oh, also editing out the ads….. much better viewing!
Who thought this was a good idea? Jeez.
Ah yes the old it’s ratings season so there’s too much stuff on for viewers to find the time to watch one episode — so we’ll put on 2 they won’t watch!
