Sorry not 9gem, that works fine, 9Go doesn’t work.
Ok. You asked what you had missed, so you can see there has been a change to Nine channels. I would rescan, if this doesn’t fix, I would ring Nine thx.
Have I missed something. My 9Gem channel doesn’t work, It says this channel no longer exists. What happened?
Rescan.

That’s a good figure for the Sunday Project after 7pm….looks like its improving in the winter months,
Especially given it was up against Origin.
I assume the move to have one game on a Sunday was part of a broadcast agreement to boost ratings?
Will this be enough for 9 to claim this week or will 7 come back and even it up?
No it was to help clubs by having a week off and only having one game each without their origin stars.
Thanks for the clarification!
NSW Blues maybe? You’ll cop some flack for that one if you don’t change it David.
Thankfully the headline was right ha.
