Seven programming April 17-22. Winners & Losers remains on, AFL on Thursday night.

Seven’s programming for the first week of Easter non-ratings – the week commencing April 17 includes a few repeats and a few surprises.

Here’s the summary.

Sunday April 17.

6.30pm is Mighty Ships. Sunday Night has a week off [updated], returning April 24 at 6.30pm. The rest of Sunday night remains as normal – 7.30 Border Security, 8.00 The Force, 8.30 Bones and 9.30 Castle – with the exception that all are repeats.

Monday April 18.

So what will replace My Kitchen Rules three nights a week? Well, we only know for Monday – at 7.30pm is Border Patrol – NZ’s version of Border Security, and at 8pm, Coastwatch. Both are new episodes.

8.30 is TBA, and Brothers and Sisters remains at 9.30pm.

Tuesday April 19.

7.30 is TBA.

Surprisingly – Winners & Losers is not having a break for Easter non-ratings. Seven’s latest drama hit remains at 8.30pm, followed by Parenthood at 9.30pm. Keeping Winners & Losers on will maintain the momentum, and prevent viewers from straying waiting for new episodes.
