The weeknight discussion program The Drum comes to ABC1 for six weeks in a special summer series, starting on Monday, 9th January. The program will also extend to a full-hour during the six week run.

Running on both ABC News24 and ABC1, The Drum’s lively panel of guests will chew over the day’s events each night at 6pm, from Monday to Friday.

Annabel Crabb, Steve Cannane and Tim Palmer will share the hosting duties over summer for intelligent, energetic and sometimes irreverent discussion and argument.

On Friday nights, Peter Wilkins referees a colourful, informative and opinionated panel in the special sports edition of The Drum.

“The Drum is a great space for robust debate and intelligent and entertaining discussion.  It will be a welcome addition to ABC1 over summer following its success on ABC News24,” said ABC1 Controller Brendan Dahill.

From Monday 9th January until Friday 17th February, you can watch The Drum on ABC1 and ABC News24.

Starting On Sunday December the 4th is Discovery Channel’s annual Shark Week. Here are the programs:

In ‘Mysteries of the Shark Coast’ a cross-discipline scientific team undertake the largest shark tagging expedition in history.

A group of scientists, conservationists and film makers are on a mission to discover the cause for their mysterious decline.

By doing this, they will be able to gather new insight into the still largely secretive life of the ocean’s ultimate predator.

8.30pm – Sharkbite Beach
In one shocking month of 2008, the Pacific coastline of Southern California and Mexico suddenly became the focus for shark-experts and shark-hunters everywhere, as it played host to three attacks, an impassioned local backlash worthy of Amity Island and an unending trail of close shaves. It was fast, furious… and followed blow-by-blow by millions of people in a completely new way, using communication technology that had moved on apace since America’s last ‘summer of the shark’ in 2001. The film captures the reality of shark attacks in the twenty-first century. For in 2008 as soon as an unlucky swimmer or surfer encounters a predator, his own story is a hit on the web, multiplying interest exponentially. Witnesses and victims instantly share their accounts, their photos and their videos of a sighting, a bite – even a death. Shark Bite Beach tells the story of those chaotic weeks – through the testimony of survivors, and the gripping accounts of eyewitnesses. It also explores how those who have seen friends and family attacked by sharks come to terms with their loss and, in some cases, return to the ocean.

How many pounds of food can a Great White Shark consume in one meal? Watch Great White Appetite and find out the shocking results!

The Great White is one of the most of the most feared predators on earth as well as one of it’s most efficient hunters. The Great White Shark patrols the shores of more than fifty percent of the world’s inhabited coastlines, and yet, besides the fact that they’ve killed hundreds of people, we know almost nothing about them. Its incredible appetite is more of a mystery than anything else about the shark. Remarkably, scientists don’t have any accurate data on the Great White’s population, mating, traveling or even what drives their feeding behavior. Observe first hand the experiments that let us uncover the Great Whites unique eating habits. We will travel the globe, stopping at three major Great White feeding grounds – Seal Island, South Africa; Adelaide, Australia and Guadalupe Island, Mexico and administer incredibly visual experiments in an effort to answer this and many other fascinating questions!

There is big news on the Glee front with lots of new casting news.

Ricky Martin is in talks to appear as “the hotteset Spanish teacher in Ohio” according to US sources. He will apparently have two big musical numbers. Will it be the girls or boys who get the biggest crush on him?

Gloria Estefan is also in talks to appear as Santana’s mother. According to EW.com, the Fox musical dramedy even plans to use some of Estefan’s songs in her episode, including a few bilingual tunes. In an episode that has aired in the US already, there is great need for Santana to need her mum.

ENJOY THE BEST IN HD TV WITH FOXTEL

FOXTEL is making it easier for iQHD subscribers to discover its 21 dedicated High Definition (HD) channels in the TV Guide and enjoy the finest in television, getting even more out of their FOXTEL.

From Thursday, December 1, FOXTEL iQHD subscribers who also subscribe to the HD channels package will see the 21 HD channels ‘swap’ positions in the TV Guide with their Standard Definition (SD) channel counterparts. For example, HD subscribers will find FOX SPORTS 1 HD at channel number 501, with FOX SPORTS 1 moving to channel 203. When using the Remote Control simply key in channel 501, and FOXTEL will go straight to the HD version of FOX SPORTS 1.

This means it’s simple to watch more of FOXTEL’s premium HD channels by making them simple to find when navigating the TV Guide, providing easy access to the breathtaking picture and sound quality. FOXTEL in stunning High Definition gives viewers unparalleled colour, crispness and clarity across the fantastic selection of world-class HD programming that FOXTEL broadcasts.

FOXTEL Executive Director of Product, Jim Rudder said, “FOXTEL subscribers have access to the widest range of premium High Definition channels across all genres offering in HD over 1500 hours of LIVE sport each month, popular general entertainment series, exclusive drama, lifestyle shows, factual programming and blockbuster movies. FOXTEL is the leading HD broadcaster in Australia and these TV Guide changes reflect the increasing demand from our subscribers wanting to watch their favourite TV in HD.”

FOXTEL General Manager of Platform Development, Jeffrey Smith said, “FOXTEL’s TV Guide is the gateway to finding programs subscribers love and to discovering new shows to watch. We are constantly making upgrades to the TV Guide so it’s simpler to use and with more features for viewer discovery. The TV Guide channel updates will help make great TV in HD even easier to find and enhance the discovery of new programs for the ultimate HD experience at home.”

The SD channels are still available at the bottom of each programming genre for recording flexibility, so there’s no need to worry about taking up too much memory space on the iQHD. For example to find FOX SPORTS 1 (SD version), press the TV Guide on the Remote Control, choose the Sport genre then scroll to the end of the Sport channel list, select FOX SPORTS 1.

The TV Guide will be automatically updated via a software upgrade from December 1 meaning FOXTEL iQHD subscribers won’t have to do a thing to see the new HD channel positions on the TV Guide.
