How will programming on other channels be effected? (Specificily asking for Survivor but there are probabily other people who want to know likewise for their show of interest)
Modern Family, Survivor are out this Sunday. Big Music Quiz and Sunday Night are still in, followed by movie.
Surprised the Grand Final is live on Nine in Adelaide as well – didn’t think anyone in Adelaide watches or cares about NRL!
was over 200 k in Adelaide watch it last year.
Why are they putting some of the grand final games on 9Gem. Then it isn’t in HD.
SA, VIC, TAS and WA have Sunday AFL Footy show on 9. Holden Cup/State Champ on 9Gem.
“Holden Cup Grand Final
Penrith Panthers vs Sydney Roosters
Sydney 1.00pm Live on Nine
Brisbane 12.30pm Live on Nine”
Is one of these is incorrect, as there is a one hour difference between the two states.
Bugger… this was a quiet nightmare to assemble (even what Nine sent me had an error too!). Looks like I slipped up on one. Thx corrected.
Meanwhile in the M.I.A., the NRL have gone back in time being broadcast solely in SD :@ . We have one year of it being simulcast on 9Gem and then as soon as HD simulcasts of primary channels come along they decide that regional viewers without the HD simulcast (in the M.I.A. the commercial HD simulcast was first of Nine but is now of TEN) are fine with watching the Grand Final in SD. Granted my mum will be happy Rizzoli & Isles is still on, but given the viewer share for 9Gem I can’t say there are too many other individuals who would prefer the current 9Gem line-up compared to the Grand Final.
With the end of two high profile sports events, does that mean we will have more level playing field for the networks. I was thinking Thursdays (which usually favors Nine due to Seven’s staggered schedule), Fridays and Saturdays (usually favors Seven due to AFL). All this may help Ten albeit just a little bit. Just my analysis.
is this Ray Warren last nrl grand final he’ll be calling
hope so . I wish pay tv was also aloud to show the GF cause ther is no way i will watch ch9 crap . Also 7.15pm kick off dont think so ch9 wont allow this game to start till at least 7.25-730pm , least the AFL GF will start on time
Ray Warren is signing off for the final time at the end of 2016 NRL Season after 50 years in the media.
At least this release from 9 acknowledges the right name – 9Gem. On their cricket release it was still listed as GEM (which TV Tonight also still lists it as, along with Go!)
