NCIS LA

Yesterday I headed off to Pyrmont to see the 2013 program presentation and was excited by what I saw. Here is what to expect from a rejuvenated Channel Ten in the new year. MORE DETAIL than what you might of read elsewhere!

Over 40 weeks Ten will show new series week after week, so there will always be a “series” on and no breaks in programming. Here they are -  Continue reading »

Ten have launched a new promotion, asking viewers to take a “fresh look at Ten”. The network promises new content including Underground: The Julian Assange Story, new US series The New Normal and Ben and Kate as well as Vegas.

New seasons fast tracked to Ten in October include: Homeland, New Girl, The Good Wife, Glee, Modern Family, Merlin, Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, NCIS: LA and Law & Order: SVU.

Fast tracking international series to Ten has been suggested by many – including myself – as a way the network could bounce back out of its current less than favourable ratings lows.

Details of when some of these programs will air will be released on Sunday (subject to embargo), with others to follow over the next week or so.

Expect to see more of this campaign over coming weeks.

And – yes – give Ten a fresh look!

 

Every year, around late September, free to air TV fast track a select few of their US and international titles while others are left to air the following year when the Australian ratings season resumes after summer.

In recent weeks, Ten’s ratings have hit an all time low. Everybody Dance Now failed to connect with audiences and was promptly dumped from the schedule. I Will Survive, with ratings now in the 300,000′s is following the same path. The Shire is now even lower – not helped though by multiple timeslot changes, while Being Lara Bingle could almost be considered a success compared to how things are going now. Don’t Tell the Bride also is not exactly setting the ratings world on fire – settling over 500,000 so far. Continue reading »
