I think it was a silly idea anyway. They should use Eleven and One to help boost their main channels content.

I think Ten are realising that now. Multichannels will never be proper channels in their own right (content and ratings). They will always be sloppy seconds to the main channel.

The Simpsons are on 7 nights a week at 6PM from Sunday- glad they have come to their senses

especially in Ten's case as they've demonstrated that for whatever reason they just haven't got enough product to support 3 distinct channel genres so their three channels have been spreading themselves rather thin with lots of overlap. I mean, Eleven had The Sound Of Music on the other week... I mean I know it's a Hollywood classic but it's hardly must-see fare for Eleven's demographic of 13-29s.

Seven and especially Nine play a lot more shows from their main channel on their digital channels than Ten ever has. Go! Is basically made up of multiple repeats of Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and Top Gear.

No doubt that is because of the overt policy of Ten under previous control of having each channel broadcasting totally separate content. To my knowledge, Seven and Nine haven't specifically had such policies with their respective strategies across each of their network of channels.

I wasn't talking about Seven and Nine, we're well aware that they and ABC and SBS share a lot of content across multiple channels and they make no bones about that, but Ten in the past has maintained a point of difference that it will keep its three channels as separate, independent entities and now we're seeing that point of difference fade away - with movies being interchanged between Ten, Eleven and One (sometimes within only weeks of each other) and now MasterChef being time-shifted on Eleven, and other titles being shunted around from one channel to another (RoE, Raising Hope, TBL USA, etc.) which only continues to blur what distinction each channel had. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing (there are pros and cons), but it does indicate that Ten just didn't have the inventory to support its three-channel strategy.

When was Raising Hope shifted from one channel to another? I know it started on Ten before Eleven came along, but it's been only on Eleven since AFAIK.

It began at the end of 2010 on Ten and it struggled so it was shifted mid-season to Eleven in early 2011.

Yes but it never returned to Ten it left Ten for Eleven and never returned to the main channel.

nobody said it did

[Swanny]

Just not sure how Raising Hope was included as one of the shows that shifted channels, blurring the distinction between Ten and Eleven. It's not like it shifted channels twice, like TBL US did. It moved from Ten to Eleven and stayed there. RoE is a bit more obvious because it aired on Ten even after Eleven premiered but RH was close enough, even if it was not originally planned for the channel.

Becker has been promoted to primetime. 8pm Sunday starting with season 5.

They haven't shown Season 4 yet... Season 1-3 is currently being repeated.

[Reuder7]

There must've been an output deal swap, with Eurotrip airing tonight as a 'network premiere' on Eleven having only aired two or three weeks back on Seven/7mate.

[The Sifon]

I've noticed a worrying trend with reruns on Eleven. Not so old episodes of King of Queens, Becker & JAG, which were originally broadcast in 16:9 HD, are broadcast on Eleven in 4:3. I know all these reruns come under Ten's CBS output deal, but does it cost Ten extra to source WS content? Does Everybody Loves Raymond come under the same CBS deal, or a separate CBS deal?

Geez, the producers murdered the Happy Days theme for the final season (currently airing on ELEVEN).

[Mike.S]

The Simpsons episode with Guest star Lady Gaga will air Wednesday 30th May 7.30PM.Looking foward to this episode !

Eleven are adding reruns of Glee to their Friday nights in a few weeks' time.

Good move, especially as Ten is doing lifestyle in the timeslot now. Assuming its at 7.30, will be good to have some different content at this time other than The Simpsons every night

Surely not. It's an M rated show, it should go to 8.30 and replace that awful British show

[Swanny]

Uh, Glee is PG, otherwise Ten would surely be in hot water over airing it from times ranging between 7pm to 8:30pm for its entire run!
