Nine are progressively releasing dates for shows that will air after Easter – or more specifically – when ratings resumes on April 7.

During the Olympics, GO! took over airing The Voice US as the competition moved into the elimination rounds. In the coming week, The Voice US will air over four nights, with the finale set to air on GO! Thursday August 9.
Then, in the following week “after the Olympics”, GO! will air New Zealand’s version of The Block. Continue reading »
Now with Nine programming being dominated by The Voice, The Block and Celebrity Apprentice, there have been changes at GO! to supplement Nine’s programing and perhaps appease anyone who will have Big Bang withdrawals in the coming week.
GO! has scheduled repeats of The Big Bang Theory at 7pm Monday-Thursday, as well as episodes on Sunday and Thursday nights.

An all-new, fast-tracked series of Top Gear, the world’s number one motoring show, returns next Tuesday, February 21, at 9.30pm on Channel Nine.
Join Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig for the 18th season of the global motoring phenomenon that attracts an international audience of around 350 million viewers in more than 100 countries.
In the first new episode our intrepid trio set off on an epic road trip across India, armed with a range of uniquely British products.
The boys are out to boost the British economy by embarking on a trade mission to the sub-continent. With Jeremy in a Jaguar XJS, James in a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Richard in a Mini Cooper, they traverse one of the world’s most fascinating and challenging countries, devotedly promoting Britain with distinctly mixed results.
This episode is filled with the usual dose of mayhem we’ve come to expect from the world’s most explosive motoring program, all shot in spectacular locations across India’s remarkable landscape.
In Mumbai, our hosts aim to test the efficiency of the dabbawala (lunch delivery workers) by using a car instead of a train, but of course all does not go to plan.
Further north in Jaipur, the boys host a motorsport challenge, then drive to Delhi where their mission is to host a trade fair. Afterwards they drive into the Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh, towards the border with China, to test their vehicles on the high terrain and play cricket with the locals.
Top Gear began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Relaunched in 2002 in an entertaining new format, it raced up the ratings to become BBC2’s most watched program.
Top Gear is the ultimate program for audience appeal – popular with men, women and children of all ages.
For week 8 on Nine, we drop down to just one new episode of new Big Bang Theory – at 8pm Monday night – with the 7.30 episodes also becoming repeats. At 9.30pm Tuesday is new Top Gear, while new CSI: Miami slots into Thursday nights, sandwiched between new CSI and new CSI: NY – meaning we have a CSI trilogy for that night anyway. Not long though until The Footy Show returns to Thursday nights on Nine.

When fans ‘check-in’ using GetGlue.com or the free GetGlue app during Top Gear Day, they will unlock an exclusive Top Gear sticker available only during the airing of the show. When they have unlocked 20 stickers from GetGlue – across a range of international entertainment services and products – GetGlue will send them a pack of exclusive stickers for free, including Top Gear.
Says Richard Hill, Digital and Communities Manager for BBC Worldwide Australia: “Top Gear is a huge international brand with a very loyal following so GetGlue was an innovative way for us to reward fans for their loyalty, drive viewers to programs throughout the day and have a bit of festive fun.”

Voting starts today Monday December 5 on the BBC Knowledge Australia Facebook page, under the WIN tab.
Which Road Trip would you like to re-live with Jeremy, Richard and James? A trio of convertibles in Iceland, supercars in France, coupes in Scotland, Miami to New York in a car valued at less than $1,000 or the search for the best driving roads in Europe. VOTE for your favourite episode and you could win your very own Top Gear Day Party to celebrate the event in style with your mates and your name on the telly.
The winner’s party pack contains all the Top Gear ingredients for an Ultimate Boxing Day for Big Kids – an Xbox 360 4GB Console with Connect and the incredible racing game Forza Motorsport 4 featuring Top Gear, a brand new TV, $1000 supermarket shopping voucher, an inflatable Stig and a bobble head Stig.
If that isn’t incentive enough to get amongst Top Gear Day, be tempted by more mayhem and madness…..

· James attempts to drive a Toyota Hi-lux up an active volcano in Iceland
· Richard and Clarkson welcome in a shiny new Reasonably Priced Car.
· Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to find a trio of cars which are equally at home on the race track as they are at transporting a family to the shops, all for a budget of £5000. They then put them through their paces in Europe’s home of speed: Germany.
· James makes a rare visit to the Top Gear track to test the Porsche 911 Sport Classic and Boxster Spyder
· The three wise men embark on an epic adventure of endurance in the Middle East A grudge match against the Aussies with disciplines including rallying, drifting and double-decker car racing.
· PLUS the Star in a Reasonably Priced car with guests including Rupert Grint, Rubens Barrichello, Boris Becker, Jonathan Ross and Simon Pegg.
Top Gear Day on BBC Knowledge – the ultimate big kid’s day in.

This is where Throng used to maintain an up to date TV Guide for GO! After running the guide for two years, we decided to leave it be as there are enough internet TV guides out there that also provide an accurate TV Guide for GO! (and all the other channels), subject to amendments.
For GO! programming details, visit the GO! website www.gochannel.com.au or your favourite internet guides such as ICE TV, Yahoo, and www.yourtv.com.au. Sometimes, they even put last minute programing changes on their GO! Facebook page: www.facebook.com/gochannel
