Seriously what year is this?

Its ridiculous that in 2012 we can’t even see the free to air broadcasts of some of the biggest sporting events of the year in HD. A situation not likely to change until anologue is off in 2014. Continue reading »

How hard is it to get a show to finish on time – or at least close?

Yes, The X Factor is rating its socks off, but, regardless of what EPG’s say, it is finishing well over 10 minutes late each night messing up programming for Seven subsequent, especially for those who record shows and don’t watch anything live. Continue reading »

Anyone who is a regular here might of seen that I have become quite a fan of a show recently. I may have even recapped it – something I hardly ever do. I may have even interviewed contestants because I LOVE THE SHOW. Let me say – if I ever recap anything again, just don’t watch the show. Whatever I love GOES! I AM A JINX – The kiss of Death I tell you. Sorry boys. But I guess now that Davin has gone maybe they didnt have enough exciting footage to produce 2 one hour episodes each week !

I think people may have made the mistake that it is a “gay” show – it is not. It’s a talent based competition that has fantastic entertainers that have been in Cats, Les Miserables, Phantom of The Opera and yes, Hi-5. Continue reading »

So out of the 100,000 or so who have been watching The Block NZ on GO!, I wonder how many missed the fact there was an episode last night (Thursday Aug 30) at 8.30pm instead of 2 Broke Girls? Continue reading »

As the NSW Blues level the 2012 series, the two million plus watching are left with no option but to watch State of Origin live in standard definition on Nine’s main channel.

Nine guides and EPGs showed tonights’ (May 11) first Friday Night NRL game as live in NSW and QLD. Guess what. It wasn’t.

UPDATE: Here is the answer guys… latest information HERE

Survivor: One World was scheduled to air on Nine Tuesday May 1, at around 10.30pm. A last minute programming change saw Survivor dumped in favour for two repeats of The Big Bang Theory. The first of which was in turn itself changed at the last minute for 2 Broke Girls.
