Have been watching Wimbledon the last few weeks mainly on Kayo but 7 had exclusive rights to the semi finals and the finals. Now they utilised 7Two early and then moved to the main 7 channel. So why on Saturday (Womens final) did they decide to put the tennis on 7Mate? I think the soccer should been there instead. Consistency is key!
Have you heard if there are any changes with 10 screening The Gilded Age now that the series has moved to HBO (and presumably they will co produce)?
Yes, it remains with 10. Can’t see it this year though.
Galavant is also running from the beginning at 1pm weekdays on 7flix starting tomorrow.
Again, just saw this on the EPG-strange programming from 7.
Seven programmed The Whispers simultaneously after midnight on 3 different channels to burn it off. This is downright conventional compared to that.
Two episodes each day….1PM…and 1.30PM….also just noted….the episode Two Balls shown on Wednesday…is repeated again Thursday 1.30AM….Strange⁉…Source: IceTV Guide..
I really enjoyed the UK series from years ago, “Footballers’ Wives”. Channel 9 Melb is currently running its own version of this – it’s called “Postcards” at 5:30 pm on Sundays. Many of the women featured on Postcards are, against the odds, the wives of AFL footballers. If doing remarkably important work for the community would be a worthy inclusion, but tonight’s featured footballer’s wife was undertaking – eye make up. A later segment featuring Victoria’s Governor was much better appreciated.
Lol, there are countless partners and sisters etc of AFL players working in many capacities at Nine. Nepotism is alive and well.
I watched 4.5 eps of ‘Bodyguard’ yesterday-not impressed-started well enough but rapidly deteriorated into absurd impossibilities and PC rubbish-I can’t understand how people rave over it with no ability to analyse what they’re seeing-a quick example-: how can a British army active service veteran of a recent war not be on any database for DNA, fingerprints or treatment of wounds, let alone a drivers license photo?
That was definitely a, “bullshit moment” i.e. implausible, weak writing. It was the bullshit moment in episode 4 that finally stopped me watching the series, and the combination of the 2 bullshit moments that stopped me watching the writer’s long running series, despite loving aspects of episodes 1-3.
Seven having problems with the Manchester U v Perth Glory friendly tonight 7TWO. Sound is horrible, after coming back from ad break before game started you could hear the commentators (Mel/Dave Davutovic and all) saying “um, er, ah, I’m just hearing myself back”… With no one commentating for 10min of dead air while we were left to work out what the pre entertainment was and then straight into the call with Basheer from what sounds like a shoebox room with no atmosphere mics.
Any word David what happened? Social media angry, second time in as many days (Ash Barty stuff up last week), wonder if this will have the same magnitude or not. Heaps of Aussies keen and watching.
And it was in pathetic SD. Surely if the networks are handing over the coin to get these events, they can transmit them in HD…
For some reason, SBS skipped ep 1.3 of ‘Last Man On Earth’-went straight to ep 4 tonight after showing the first 2 last week.
SBS On Demand has 4 complete seasons….just saying… 😊
I watch TV, not a computer…
do you enjoy that as much as using your clock radio & your boom box?
Succession Season 2 trailer is out!!! Starts August 11 in the U.S! Hoping Foxtel will fast track this time!
Just checked Foxtel’s coming soon page. Starts here August 12!
David, any news on where the latest Scream series, ‘Scream: Resurrection’, will land in Aus?
Not yet. It was part of Weinstein assets which have gone to Lantern so not much to compare it with.
Seems like 7Flix has been promoting The White Rabbit Project as coming soon for a long time. You could sign up to Netflix, watch it and cancel your subscription by the time it airs.
7flix has *had so much potential. SBS World Movies eat your heart well. Flix now the ‘dumping ground’ for failed shows and encores. To be fair, the channel does do well if not very well sometimes, but they’re few and far between. I think the demographics do quite well.
When Euphoria was first premiering I remember Foxtel was justifying that a 9.30pm start would be appropriate because of the content of the program. For everything they said about it then, it seems quite strange that they’re replaying each episode on Wednesdays at 2pm – in the middle of the day.
There’s a big annoucement regarding Australian Survivor, being released tomorrow morning!
I wonder what it could be…
The date is already revealed. I think most of, if not all of the cast have been revealed. I wonder what it is…
I am hoping that it’s not another American player joined the champions like last year.
I’m hoping the show is cancelled as it is rubbish, but that’s only my humble opinion…
Confirmed: Fan fave Luke Toki (“king of the jungle”) returns as a Champion.
Yasss, King!
Warner just unveiled their new streaming service HBO Max. It’ll all the Warner Bros stuff from their movie studios and TV channels, including HBO. If the price is competitive it’ll be a great deal! It’s probably not going to launch in Australia right off the bat though…
I am assuming the cricket India vs NZ will recommence tonight probably on Gem or Go
I think so because State of Origin is on tonight but the Guides are not showing anything yet
7pm 9GEM, programming post is updated.
Galavant starts at 12:45 am Thursday morning on 7flix, if anyone needs some fun in their life and aren’t prone to getting catchy songs stuck in their head.
Such an enjoyable show with excellent characters, particularly the king. Great tunes, too.
Just noticed it on the EPG-generally stuck in the schedule as a filler. but deserved better-this will be the 3rd time it’s been shown.
Just wondering are any FTA channels showing the Perth Glory vs Man United match? Is it on 10 Bold? Or is it not shown on FTA.
7mate. They sent info through some ago but I thought it was too soon to run it as people would forget. I will try to post soon.
The last episode of The Letdown was quite final – anyone know if a third series is planned/likely/touted?
7flix doing a “Christmas In July” Sunday week with “A Christmas Story” scheduled.
Just read that ABC in america have axed How to get away with murder upcoming season will be last i hope it goes of with a bang.
