Reports have surfaced on other TV based websites over the weekend that Two and a Half Men is to be replaced with The Big Bang Theory at 7pm weeknights.
At the time of posting (11.30am AEDT Mon Feb 28), this move has not officially been confirmed. EPGs and internet guides still have Two and a Half Men at 7pm at this stage.
Nine have so far issued no amendments on the subject and the advanced guide for the week starting March 13 still has Two and a Half Men scheduled for 7pm weeknights.
UPDATED: Big Bang at 7pm weeknights is happening only in Brisbane at this stage. Elsewhere, Two and a Half Men remains at 7pm.
When questioned about the rumours, my programming contact at Nine said he was aware of the reports but nothing had been confirmed yet.
With ratings for Two and a Half Men on the decline, Nine do need to take action on its 7pm weeknight timeslot – and it is likely to happen soon.
The Big Bang Theory may give them a short term gain, but seriously Nine need to look into a longer term solution as there are so far only three and a half seasons of the show.
Playing Big Bang at 7pm weeknights on top of its existing timeslots at other times on Nine and GO! will simply drive the show into the ground.
