  1. I was watching the US presidential debate on SBS and at least two times during the broadcast, there were what appeared to be technical difficulties where the scene switched once to footage of the CNN building and another time to a reporter in a studio seemingly looking over papers. On both occasions, it occurred when Biden was speaking. I quickly changed channels and saw that it wasn’t happening on ABC News 24. Was this an issue with the simulcast? It seemed rather suspicious, especially given the conjecture about delay times of the broadcast from about 7 seconds to 2 minutes.

    2. CNN has shut down a claim circulating on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that the debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will be aired with a one to two-minute delay.
      Several pro-Trump accounts have promoted this claim, which deviates from the standard seven-second delay used in television broadcasts. Several journalists and X users quickly jumped to the network’s defense. “It’s common with any live event now, but the flood of misinformation circulating about this debate is particularly unsettling. Godspeed to all fact checkers today,” said New York Times reporter Katie Rogers. (USA Today)

  2. Update: Home and Away’s official (Australia) social pages have confirmed a special quadruple episode tonight in a few markets, following last night’s pre emption. Literally movie length Summer Bay! Should help shares. Guides will all be wrong.

  3. I cannot believe Poh did not get a Logie nom. She is such an incredible judge on Masterchef. Empathetic, knowledgeable, articulate, she’s giving personality, she’s giving style icon.

  4. Thought I would watch channel ten at 12 noon hoping to see something good but all they had was a Deal Or No Deal repeat. In the old days it would have been Dr Phil. TV channels today repeat repeat and repeat thinking they are giving us something good to watch.

        1. Continuing on it’s Friday night at 7:30 and channel ten has a repeat of HYBPA. Prime time and they bring us a repeat, no wonder they flounder in the ratings.

  5. the 7plus live stream channel for all saints is a joke, it just replays season 1-5 in a loop., it never shows the rest of the seasons.. this is a complete joke.

    1. You’ll find all FAST channels across the board do continuous loops. Another example, Pluto/10play plays the same 250 episodes of ‘Prisoner’ and has done so for almost 12 months.

    1. Bugger, I’ve been enjoying Becker and Frasier in the arvos. They’re now replaced with more endless repeats of Friends and The Big Bang Theory.

    2. That is a bummer, my night time ritual of watching the 2 Frasier Eps while cooking dinner & or before bed now gone. I also enjoy Friends and Big Bang but I am sure Frasier could have stayed in the slots it has been in. I can see 10 is juggling around a bit with the scheduling, but if you are branding channels comedy and drama then why is there cooking on Peach Comedy ?

  7. Catalina Florez | SBS News…..what a joy….her pronunciation of places in the world weather is simply awesome….a pleasure to watch and listen.

  8. i notice channel 9 has new program return graphics, with the olympic logo, could this be a sign they will change the PRG’s for normal programming after the olympics, i hope yes because they are due for new graphics especially PRG’S

  10. Was Channel 7’s 6pm first story of a dashcam footage chase part of Gemma Acton’s “tearing up the rule book”?

    There is a reason why this sort of trash was never considered headline news.

    If she is responsible, maybe Channel 7 should also consider clearing out their latest news appointments as well?

  11. Great chat on KIIS radio with Will and Woody, Grant Denyer reminiscing about that 2005 Sunrise bungee jump at Bondi, with crosses between Mel and Kochie in-between chopper takes and CEO David Leckie ringing him up calling him “a mad bas*ard after sticking your hand up a horse’s a*se the week before”. What times! When the show had started completely dominating too. There was an article on it today too.

  12. The Traitors US S3 (celebs) and The Traitors NZ S2 (normies) cast have been revealed! Get amongst it y’all. The highlight for me is Bob the Drag Queen!

  13. Ten has had a lot daytime schedule changes recently. They had dropped the Entertainment Tonight morning repeat which was really annoying because the episodes in the afternoon are shortebed to fit Masterchef in the schedule. They brought back this morning and will now screen episodes in full at 6.30am weekdays. This means The Talk has been bumped from the schedule.

    1. I remember ET was on at 8:00 AM and had some following, so it’s good that they brought it back. It has been on TV for a while and it has a good following. It’s something different from the usual breakfast news shows that can get a bit repetitive.

  14. Just read in the newsletter that you caught up with Colin From Accounts Ep5 David. If you think that was great, strap yourself in for the truly phenomenal Ep6 and 7… my god what a masterpiece this show is turning out to be.

    Also… is that award winning drama yet to confirm a new season Love Me? Please let it be Love Me!!
