Cops
A possible new direction for ONE?
So far, ONE has been the only commercial digital channel not to play classic TV shows at any time in its schedule.
That is set to change from Monday December 18, with M*A*S*H set to air at 6pm weeknights, followed by Get Smart at 6.30pm.
M*A*S*H was last seen on Seven at 5pm weeknights, before it made way for the 4.30pm news to extend to an hour, while Get Smart has aired previously on GO! and ELEVEN.
The move means Jeopardy! will be out of ONE’s schedule (disappointingly).
If these two classic shows do well in ratings, expect to see more classics start turning up on ONE.
COPS remains at 7pm weeknights.
Thursday May 26, at 10.30pm on FOX8
Watch as six of the world’s most bizarre celebrity pairings are locked together in a car for 10 hours a day as they compete to earn points, try not to get lost, try not to get arrested and try to survive each others company – plus surviving clever sabotage tactics – as they compete on the world’s most glamorous rally to win �20k for the charity of their choice.
Ten rethink their plans for Oprah finals week.
The three last episodes of the Oprah Winfrey Show will now air one day later than planned. New NCIS will now remain on Tuesday night May 24, with Oprah at 9pm Wed May 25, 8.30pm Thur May 26 and the final episode Friday May 27, 9pm. The Behind the Scenes special is now out.
The new look ONE gets some tweaking.
This Thursday night, May 19, Everest – Beyond the Limit has been pushed out of the schedule, in favour for more episodes of COPS. COPS will air this Thursday from 7.30pm in a double episode. Looks like COPS will be ONE’s most regularly played program. The change applies to subsequent Thursdays as well.
Emergency Search and Rescue replays.
Still on ONE and this week’s episodes of Emergency Search and rescue will be replayed on Saturday (May 21) from 11.30am.
