Next week (Spet 25-30), with the Brownlow Medal airing in AFL markets on Monday night (Sept 26), The X Factor will air ond day later then its usual timeslot.

The Top 11 live performance show will air on Tuesday Sept 27 from 7.30pm, and conclude around 9.30pm which means Packed to the Rafters will have a week off. Results show will air Wed Sept 28 at 7.30. Wolrd’s Strictest Parents is on at 8.30pm that night.

Thursday at 7.30 Sept 29 is Four Weddings., and of course Beauty and the Geek continues with its second episode of Australia’s third season at 8.30pm.

9.30 that night is TBA for two hours which suggests maybe a movie?

Back to Brownlow night, and non-AFL markets will see a one hour special of The Force at 7.30pm Mon Sept 26. Those markets can see the Brownlow Medal live on 7mate.

Meanwhie, Law and Order: LA will no longer air on Thursday nights on Seven, as the network opts to air the series on Wednesday nights only at 9.30pm.

On Monday September 19, from 7.30pm until 9.30pm, is the first X Factor live performance show for this season. Over this two hour event, the top 12 perform for the votes of the judges and audience.

Then, on Tuesday night, September 20 at 7.30pm is the X Factor results show, where one will be eliminated in the first week to bring us to our top 11.

Wednesday night at 7.30 is (as predicted) World’s Strictest Parents, while Thursday night at 7.30 will be the return of Four Weddings. Friday night AFL commitments may push this back to an 8pm start in some states if they air double Home and Away in leiu of the Friday night episode not being able to air.

Or, like last year, Home and Away could become out of synch between markets, resulting in a triple episode catch up after footy seaosn concludes. All depends on the teams that make it through.

As already reported, Beauty and the Geek Australia season three premieres at 8.30pm Thursday Sept 22.

Speaking of AFL, The Brownlow Medal airs live in VIC & SA on Monday Sept 26, as well as prime time in WA. NSW & QLD can see it on 7mate.

The Brownlow medal will push the X Factor top 11 live performances back to Tuesday night (Sept 27), with the results show on Wednesday night (Sept 28). These states will also miss out on Body of Proof and Suits, which will end up as split market programming in later weeks, as both are scheduled to air on Brownlow night in NSW & QLD.

With X Factor airing on Tuesday night, top 11 means a two hour show – which means no Packed to the Rafters for Tuesday Sept 27. Dinner Date remains at 9.30pm that night, Hung at 10.30.

Thursday 7.30 for Sept 29 could be that Home & Away catch up I meantioned before or Four Weddings – that will be comfirmed later.

Beauty and the Geek episode two will air Thursday Sept 29, 8.30pm.

The Brownlow Medal screens LIVE on Seven Melbourne on Monday September 26 at 8.15pm, with Bruce McAvaney hosting the prestigious count to find the winner of the AFL’s most coveted individual honour, the Charles Brownlow Medal.

The Brownlow Medal broadcast will feature:

·         A tribute to the role of AFL in the community at a local and international level with dual premiership captain Tom Harley.

·         ‘Lethal’ Leigh Matthews taking us back to one of his legendary moments.

·         Dennis Cometti, Leigh Matthews and Tim Watson presenting round-by-round highlights from the AFL Premiership season.

Prior to the official count, Seven will also present an expanded, fashion-focused Brownlow Blue Carpet Special at 7.30pm, hosted by Hamish McLachlan.

He will be joined by former Miss Australia Rachael Finch, Women’s Health editor Felicity Harley and crowd favourite Matthew Richardson to see the stars of the AFL and their glamorous partners dressed in the latest haute couture, as they make their way into football’s night of nights.

The Brownlow Blue Carpet Special will also feature an analysis of the best and worst red carpet fashion in sporting award night history and the final verdict on who is the best dressed on the night.

Good News Week remains at 8.30pm Monday in Sydney and Brisbane, while Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth viewers will see Good News Week on Tuesday Sept 21 at 8.30pm for that week only. That means that AFL markets will miss out on NCIS repeats for that week only.

Channel 7 are continuing with movies next Sunday September 20, with “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” scheduled to air at 8.30pm that night. Las Vegas follows at 10.50pm.

On Monday night, September 21, its the night of AFL’s Brownlow Medal. The presentation starts at 7.30pm in the AFL states (VIC, SA, WA) with the “Blue Carpet” arrivals. At 8pm, “Highway Patrol” is slotted between the Blue Carpet Special and the awards ceremony itself which airs from 8.30pm, finishing after 11.30.

That night in the NRL (QLD, most of NSW) states, you can see the Blue Carpet Special at 8pm on 7HD, as well as the Brownlow medal live at 8.30 on 7HD. On 7′s main channel in NSW and QLD (NT, Tas – check your guides) will be Highway Patrol at 7.30pm, followed by Destroyed in Seconds at 8pm. At 8.30pm, the Andromeda Strain will be seen on 7′s main channel. The AFL states will see the show on Friday night.

Those who can’t get 7HD in NSW and QLD can see a shortened version of the medal ceremony at 11.40 after the Andromeda Strain.

So what will be on channel 7 on Sunday September 27? *** CASINO ROYALE IS ON *** With networks about to fast track their key US shows as new seasons commence, the hot tip is that “Flash Forward” will be seen on Sundays at 8.30pm from Sept 27 – this we know now is on Mon 28th at 8.30pm.

Channel 10 so far is leading the was with US fast tracked shows with NCIS, NCIS:LA, Lie to Me, Supernatural, Glee and One Tree Hill all being fast tracked just days after their US air dates.

As for channel 9, the only show I know of so far that they are fast tracking is – wait for it – TWO AND A HALF MEN (also Mentalist and CSI will be fastracked from Sept 28 and Oct 1 respectively)! That means one new episode a week mixed with the 8 or 9 repeats the capital city markets currently see. The fast tracked episodes will most likley be on Monday nights at 7.30pm. No doubt other shows will follow like the Mentalist, and the remake of the 80′s alien classic “V”. Maybe some new CSI as well. Don’t forget Vampire Diaries coming to GO from 8.30 Monday 28 as well.

Note: Regional programming for Prime is the same as channel 7 but some areas may differ – for example, Wagga in NSW will usually get the same programming as the AFL states.
