Network 10 reverses Neighbours decision, continues at 4 episodes a week.
Hold the phone. 10 listens to audience feedback and backflips on a plan for 3 episodes per week.

Network 10 has reversed a decision to pull Neighbours back to 3 episodes per week and will maintain as 4 episodes per week.
It will now screen this Thursday instead of concluding the week at Wednesday, and continue Monday – Thursday next week.
Network 10 sources told TV Tonight they had listened to audience feedback, many of whom were not in favour of the plan.
This will also keep the long-running soap in sync with the British audience.
Whilst TVT readers have speculated as to what was behind the 3 day plan, 10 is yet to comment.
Neighbours screens 4pm Mon – Thu on 10 and 6:30pm on 10 Peach Comedy.

10 have forgotten to reinstate the Neighbours encore tomorrow morning at 8:00am. ‘Intrepid Adventures’ is listed instead.
I miss the days when both Home and Away and Neighbours were on 5 days a week
To be fair, H&A is 6 episodes a week usually….. I guess you could always watch 4 on air and stream 2 on the Friday. Solved.
I don’t think 10 cares much about the 110k people watching a combined 3 viewings of Neighbours, whether on social media or not. They seem more worried about what they were going show at 4:30pm in December.
10 may very well continue with Bold throughout Christmas. They are lagging CBS by 16 episodes at time of writing. In previous years the gap was much narrower.
TBF last Tuesday was 147k on 10 alone with the combined screenings (above would include online)
I hope in future that this means Neighbours will remain in sync with the U.K. and Ireland permanently.
10 should know by now not to pee off soap fans in particular. The shuffle and subsequent reinstatement of Bold from the 4:30pm slot last year clearly hasn’t taught them how dedicated soap fans are.
Great News sanity prevails
The networks are finally learning that hell hath no fury like a social media user scorned.
Good decision. That was the problem last time when 10 went to 4 days and we got behind the UK episodes
Yes, TVT had to run a post that Australia could not be behind the UK for the finale. In the end sanity prevailed.
Good to hear. Hope we get many more years of Neighbours to come!
Oh for the love of God…. I’d already made plans!!!
Thank goodness for that.
Very odd decision in the first place (with no explanation from 10) to moving it to just three days a week.
