Ten is really suffering ratings-wise, and have filled their schedule with a load of awful shows. What should they replace their crappy schedule with?

MONDAY
7.30pm Australian Idol
8.30pm ??? (If Numb3rs is rating badly, they should replace it with Law & Order)
9.30pm The Biggest Loser

TUESDAY
7.30pm The Simpsons (Maybe Ten can get the rights to another animated show from Seven. 'King of the Hill'? 'Family Guy'?)
8.30pm ??? (If it were rating well, i'd say 'The O.C.' reruns, but I can't think of anything)
9.30pm ??? (I'm surprised Rove hasn't been axed yet)

WEDNESDAY
8.30pm House
9.30pm ??? (I think Criminal Intent, or The Shield should take this slot)
10.00pm ???

THURSDAY
8.30pm Law & Order : SVU
9.30pm The Surgeon (Meh, it's very uneventful, but I think i'll stick around to watching it this week)
10.00pm ???

FRIDAY
7.30pm The Simpsons (Ten should air By Request' specials, or theme nights.)
8.30pm ??? (Ten should start purchasing the rights to "box office hits" if their horrid line-up of movies are to rate well)

SATURDAY
7.30pm Oprah (I think Oprah should stay put. But I wish Ten would stop airing "Celebrity Specials" though.)
8.30pm ???

SUNDAY
7.30pm Australian Idol
8.30pm Mary Bryant (That mini-series will take up this slot next week, so...)

i would put the nanny on 24/7  

Ten has it's hands on such great shows but put them on so late eg: The Shield, that they don't rate. I love Numb3rs but tape Grey's Anatomy and watch new stuff from the US on DVD. I Love all but the original Law and Orders. I find all commercial Stations buy up potentially great shows then stick them in nevernever land where they don't rate then they are justified in axing the show.

Shows to go -

Idol
any other reality TV show
neigh-bores (intentional spelling!)
Sports Tonight
meet the press (just what the kids want to watch of a sunday morning that one!)
Aerobics Oz Style (although my 13 year old has suddenly taken an interest in aerobics, I dont think it is for the exercise routines)
Judge Judy
Oprah

that'll do for a start!

Quoted from Sillygostly

If Numb3rs is rating badly, they should replace it with Law & Order

Please No. No more law and order.  I don't care if they play test patterns instead but please no more repeats and franchise duds.  I beseech the gods of television to save me from another frigging episode of any brand of law and order

(don't take it personally Sillygostly...I just can't take it anymore)

MONDAY
Idol has to be put down, along with all reality TV (put em all in the BB house & tell theUS Bin Laden's in it)  

TUESDAY
The more Simpsons the better
Yeah Rove is pretty shocking (but he must rate well, all those logies)

WEDNESDAY
House was ten best call for a long time!!

THURSDAY
The sugeon is quite shocking, especially the first episode running straight after House

FRIDAY
Agree with you on Simpsons-by-request (replay more than seasons 1-6 ten)

10 also need to stop showing so many hours of Law & order & also put Galactica back on

Seinfeld by request at least one night a week for 1 hour .

I'd put 7th Heaven, One Tree Hill, Summerland and Charmed Back on!

Quoted from Thorn__rgb

Seinfeld by request at least one night a week for 1 hour .

Good call  

What about this "BLOKESWORLD PRIMETIME" ( just joking )

How about 10 bring back One Tree Hill and instead of showing old simpson repeats - show it instead(maybe the 7:30pm timeslot on a Friday night, which they did originally before they yanked it off air- 9 episodes into the 1st season).

Theres so many US programs we dont even get.
I'd love some more comedy. Things with actors in them!! No more idol. 1/2 an hour a week is enough. They can each sing a 5 minute clip and people can vote. We don't need so many stupid hosts.

Decent movies. Not these old movies that are on once a year. If you wanted to see the same movie that often, you would get cable  

Oprah prime time would be good, if they didn't put the same thing on day time oprah 2 weeks later. and oprah has been on tv for so many years in australia, and not bothered to come here once.

Can Adelaide actually have a program thats for Adelaide?
Im sick of all this stuff thats about melbourne or sydney. Something local would be good. Those stupid kids game shows or even adult game shows that people in SA have no chance of ever being on. LOCAL!!! Something we can do.. see live.. ect.

Ready steady cook.. I dont like it. but it Could be local.

I hate the uplate game show. it should be banned for discrimination.

Law and order should be once a week, not almost every single day.
I'd rather see the guardian and some new programs.
The closer might be good on a night other than sunday at 9:30.

Tuesday night simpsons is suppposed to be new episodes, but there have only been 3 new ones. They always put the same episodes on. Take yugio and morning programs like that off too.

Quoted from tvfan21

I'd put 7th Heaven, One Tree Hill, Summerland and Charmed Back on!

HELL NO... We don't need any of that cissy crap... and certainly not any corny witch programs or goody goody church rubbish.

Get rid of the Surgeon - It's boring crap and isn't 1% as brilliant as the american dramas. All saints in the australians best hospital Drama, we don't need a cheesy pile of puke with actors and actresses who can't act a smidgen (I'm talking about 'the Surgeon' not All saints.)

Enough with this reality bollocks... I swear if they put another series of Big Brother or Australian Idol, I'm going to go postal towards those guys.

Sadly enough - Galactica was crap - It was on, and now it's not - Lets keep it that way.

Sports tonight is way too long. You only need 5 mins to cover everything.

BASICALLY - Less of the australian crap and more of the good American and British Shows.

Just in tonight: Bert Newton will leave the Ten Network at the end of this year!

Channel Ten's CEO Grant Blackley has made the following statement:

"We have been in genuine negotiations with Bert for more than three months with a view to signing him to a new contract (and) have put forward a range of ideas and program opportunities to him, recognising his enduring position as one of Australia's - and Ten's - highest calibre stars."

Says Bert: "Fourteen years is a long time for any television show and this one was very special to me,"

"In making my decision, I felt with the show going to end, it made sense for me to make the break, too. I leave Ten with some great memories."

Ten is developing a brand new daytime show for 2006.

Well.. mornings will never be the same for me! I remember watching the very first episode of Bert's Morning Show, back when it was filmed in Nunanwading. Advertorials and all, it was my background music each morning for the past 15 years.

I wonder what/who will replace it? And what has Bert been lured to? Nine? Seven?

Quoted from Rockchick

what has Bert been lured to? Nine? Seven?

Old age pension I would suspect.

Maybe Bert just wants to retire and spend some time with his beloved Patty and family. He is of an age where he is probably thinking of at least winding down a bit. He must have very early mornings 5 days a week and that would be a killer. I wish him all the best anyway, he deserves it.  

The Today Show reported this morning that he has officially joined Channel Nine.

Probably makes sense - it's fitting that he ends with Nine I think... Although Ten was good to him, they never really made good use of Bert in primetime.

I wonder what vehicle they have lined up for him? Obviously the Logies... and of course there's that vital 5.30pm slot. Wasn't there a love-match game show in the works?

but what about poor Moya...who will buy all her steak knives and miracle creams now

WTF?!?!?!?
Bert Newton is still alive?!?!?!?!?

no one said he is alive vexatious...i think preserved is more like it  

Sam will probably use Bert to anchor all of those nostalgia specials and counting down specials, which are rating their pants off - it's the hottest genre on TV at the moment both here and in the UK.

Plus, Nine want to re-establish themselves in 2006 by emphasising their star system again, and playing up the 50 years of TV. I'm betting Bert will be in the centre of that campaign.

Pleeeezzee NO! . .

Oh I love Bert - grew up with him. He's pure genius on screen.

Quoted from Devman

I know who you are!!. . *Matthew Newton  -  doing his day job*.

That is nice. . standing up for your Dad.

Nice try   My true mortal identity will never be revealed (hi boss!)  

By the way Polaris, loving the icons  

On the positive side Polaris if there's more Bert there'll be less Eddie Everywhere


Or will there?


Maybe they'll do a double act for all those shows Rockchick is talkin' ' bout.


Ok by me ... More time for reading books or walking in the open air or ....um....

.....watching paint dry

ooooh you are a prince among .... um ..... chipmunks(?) for sharing (sorry I can't work out what your avatar is exactly)

It's a GREMLIN (Gizmo) . . . never feed me after midnight. . or get me wet.  .

sorry P - I'm guessing that's from the movie GREMLINS - never seen it so therefore couldn't recognise you

but i promise never to feed you any time at all and never give you a bath

From Bert to Gremlins? The mind boggles  

Back on topic please guys.

I heard that Eddie is leaving the Footy Show so perhaps Bert is taking over that.  

Perhaps there gonna have a Dancing with the Stars spin off ...”Dancing with Old Farts”.  You must have had at least one hip replacement to qualify.


Perhaps a resurrected "Star Search" given the popularity if Idol.

I can’t imagine dear old Bert replacing Ray or doing anything else serious after so long in the infomercial business.

But Ray and Bert do have something in common.  The mirror that makes their hair look real and the drugs that make them believe it!

lmao @ the hair.....  cactus

finally i wanted bert to get off the air for ages

kerri-anne is better  

Bert Leaving?  I for one will be sorry to see him go. Loved his sense of humour.

The best way to deal with the schedule that 10  is offering. . is to douse it in flammable liquid. . and set a match to it!!. . * I may be onto something here*. .  

The first thing I would do is ban each and every 'reality' show. they are all a waste of space within the fabric of the multiverse. I would put more sci-fi on, less adverts in the movies, ban Rove from ever making another show (if only for having anything to do with Skithouse), get rid of that excrement Merrick and Rosso (I dunno what happened to them, as they were fantastic on 9). Buy the rights of Gilmore Girls and Smallville from 9.

Quoted Text

...7.30 pm Blankety Blanks....

5 nights of Blankety Blanks? Gosh! This is sarcasm, right? (Ten = blanks)

lol!

The main problem is that almost everything is a repeat- why can't they just play the entire season of SVU week to week & then give us 10 million repeats over summer. I used to hate the non-ratings period with a passion but now i can hardly tell the difference between it & normal programming. I believe there was a period of almost 2 months in between new episodes of the Simpsons at one point. 10 should just play an entire series in order & then try out some new series instead of stretching one season of an established weekly show over about 10 months. But they should stick to US dramas b/c Australian drama is usually not done well as it is always a poor attempt to emulate the US version. If ppl want to do Aussie drama they should use storylines that are realistic to this country & Australian issues then ppl might watch. Why would you watch a such an Aussie attempted US style drama when the originals are so much better.

24/7 simpsons marathons
followed by 24/7 seinfeld marathons


That's all they've got going for them really

I actually look forward to non ratings period, cos it seems the shows improve.  If new stuff is pointless why play it.  Repeats are probably cheaper anyway.

Damn that thing is getting annoying.
Soon it will be right in the center of the screen im sure.

Quoted from Miss-E

Damn that thing is getting annoying.
Soon it will be right in the center of the screen im sure.

With wide screen TV it looks like it is in the centre already, coz they move it so far in from the edge so it still shows on 4x3 TV's!

i love the channel 10 logo

Thanks guys.... I was happily ignorant of it until I read this thread.... now it's IN MY FACE!!!    

ArrrgggH!  What are they thinking???
Anyway, you only have to flick through the channels and see yet another episode of The Simpsons and know you are on 10.  

Since Bert's gone, Rove should host a revamped GMA after some 2 or 3-hour morning news program. Then, some comedy show should replace Rove or he could have a revamped Rove Live at that time.

NOO!!!! I love Rove, and if hes on GMA i wont be able to watch it coz i wil be at school!   i dont like that idea!  

Bring back JERRY SPRINGER!!! (I don't watch, and frankly, the only episode I watched was pretty stupid but it'll make an entertaining timeslot filler.)

HA! I like that idea! Bring back JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

Why does every woman who goes on Jerry feel the need to show her boobs?

I've probably seen it a dozen or so times...and every time I have seen a woman ripping her own top off...it doesn't seem to matter what the topic is.."cheating boyfriends", "people marrying their cousins", "people who like to lick jello off of fat people"....any subject ...the women all take their tops off

I've never understood that.

ha ha yeah, its pretty disturbing...funny though...especially funny when they get all angry and start yelling and screaming! and even more funny when the girlfriend tries to fight the prostitute girl-on-the-side and your like "what the hell are you doing girl!? shell take you down in one hit" LoL!

BTW Tia_ballerina, I like your avatar!
I think we have a winner.... Jerry Springer should come back to give us some chuckles first thing in the morning!! Chairs and shoes flying everywhere, I love it, best comedy show on TV.

I think you'll find Jerry Springer works the same as reality TV - you get a cash bonus for certain behaviours. For instance, the producers might tell you you'll get $2000 if you show your boobs, $1000 if you throw a chair at someone etc...

I would not like to see Jerry back on our screens, simply because holidays are starting, and that is NOT appropriate TV for kiddies to watch. Hell, in my opinion, its not appropriate TV full stop.

From Monday December 19th, Ten's weeknightly schedule will have the following changes...

6.30pm Sabrina the Teenage Witch (New to Ten)
7.00pm Oliver's Twist (Repeat)

And for those desperate for their fix of Seinfeld, Ten will air an episode of Seinfeld (The Race) at 11.50pm on Saturday 24th December, probably to fill a timeslot before the late night Christmas programmes begin.

For Sex and the City fans, Ten will make some use of their rights to the show by airing a 5 episode marathon from 8.30pm on Friday 23rd December. Episodes include: Secret Sex, The Power of Female Sex, The Monogamists, Three's A Crowd and The Turtle and the Hare. The marathon will run for 2 1/2 hours.

Yep. Oliver's Twist only goes for a week or so, and will be quickly replaced at 7pm. Neighbours also back early.

I bet Nannyfan will not be happy...

What will happen to One Tree Hill now?

Quoted from Jellyman32000

What will happen to One Tree Hill now?

She's a goner!!!


It is very unlikely 10 will screen OTH ever agin.... 2 attempts at screening (including the 1 week opportunity 2 weeks ago) it have failed. Best bet- arena(foxtel/austar) get the rights for it .

Ten should've moved it to late at night with an M Rating.
I'm Serious!

Yeh they should do that.

They could get rid of the waste of space known as "The Up Late Game Show", and run multiple episodes at a time.

I watched the final last night, I thought it was hilarious (in a laughable way)

anyone know if TEN is going to have that simpsons christmas marathon again?

and will they have christmas episodes of the following programs:
Sabrina, The Teenage Witch
Everybody Loves Raymond
The Nanny

i'm keen to see the cartoon episode of the nanny because i haven't seen it before

some episodes of jerry springer is pretty weird but still it's entertaing

anyone watching murder, she wrote like me

Quoted from sabrinafan22

anyone watching murder, she wrote like me

shhhhhh sabrinafan don't tell anyone ...i watch too if I'm around (or sometimes tape it to watch at night instead of the news which just depresses the heck out of me and frankly not what I need after a day at work)...it's funny looking out for all the has been actors on their way down or up and coming actors on their way up (eg I've noticed at least 2 of the sex in the city gals)      

They played the animated christmas special of The Nanny last year one Saturday at around 3pm, and it wasn't very good. Way too cheesy, and aimed directly at a younger audience. However if you have an hour to kill during the day, you can't go wrong with "Oy To The World" as it is rather amusing. I can't tell if Ten'll be playing it this year though.

No, Ten will not air The Simpsons Christmas Marathon this year. However, Ten will air the following Christmas themed episodes this week...

Wednesday 7.30pm - Tis The Fifteenth Season
Thursday 6.00pm - Miracle on Evergreen Terrace
Friday 6.00pm - Grift of the Magi
Friday 7.30pm - Homer vs Dignity
Saturday 5.30pm - No Simpsons due to rerun of the World Vision documentary 'An Australian Idol In Africa', which probably attracted high ratings in its 3pm slot a few weeks back.

hey,

does anyone have any ideas on the artist/song name that channel 10 are using for their summer on ten promos at the moment?

"What i like about you" are the main lyrics...

Cheers

one of the posts here answers your question
http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/eblah/b-tv/m-1133919779/

Don't really like that show, it's too boring to be a crime show today (compared to today's anyway)

Geez, Ten already screens a Simpsons marathon almost everyday.

Quoted from Simpson

I think you'll find Jerry Springer works the same as reality TV - you get a cash bonus for certain behaviours. For instance, the producers might tell you you'll get $2000 if you show your boobs, $1000 if you throw a chair at someone etc...

I wonder how much they get paid for taking of their shoes and trying to use them as a weapon..that seems to be a every show occurance as well  

Ooh, and on Sunday 25th December Ten will air a special The Simpsons Hour featuring 2 more Christmas themed episodes...

5.30pm She of Little Faith
6.00pm Marge Be Not Proud

And also that night Ten will air all new episodes of...
6.30pm Brainiac
7.30pm Smallville
8.30pm The Panel Christmas Wrap
10.30pm The Ronnie John's Half Hour Christmas Special

Followed by 'And Now For Something Completely Different' at 11.00pm. Looking forward to that at least. :-p

I heard that Foxtel were going to play every Simpsons Christmas episode in a marathon, maybe thats why channel Ten aren't doing it? I really enjoyed it last year. I watched it as I finalised my Christmas present wrapping

Yep, Ten's got a cool christmas lineup. I wonder what the RJHH Christmas Special is about.

oh okay thanks

i guess it won't be on air this year hmm maybe i have that episode oy to the world of the nanny on tape i don't know

i got thoundsand of tv shows on tape from the late 90's i haven't watched yet

I thought I'd just make a list of all the notable shows on Ten for this week...

Monday 30th January
8.00pm Futurama (New to Ten)
8.30pm Supernatural (All New)
9.30pm Charmed (All New)

Tuesday 31st January
7.30pm Surface (All New)
8.30pm The O.C. (Series Return, Repeat)
9.30pm The O.C. (Season Premiere, All New)

Wednesday 1st February
8.00pm Futurama (New to Ten)
8.30pm House M.D. (Series Return, Repeat of 'Three Stories')
9.30pm House M.D. (Repeat of 'Honeymoon')
The second season of House is likely to return the following week.

Thursday 2nd February
7.30pm Smallville (New to Ten)
8.30pm Medium (Repeat of 'Penny to your thoughts'
9.30pm Medium (Repeat of 'When Push Comes To Shove Pt 1')
11.05pm Sex and the City (Series return, New to Ten)

Friday 3rd February
8.30pm Charmed (Two all new episodes, Season finale)

And... all new episodes of The Simpsons are returning on Tuesday February 14th.

Also remeber about the new Daytime TV on Ten

Quoted from Sillygostly

Wednesday 1st February
8.00pm Futurama (New to Ten)
8.30pm House M.D. (Series Return, Repeat of 'Three Stories')
9.30pm House M.D. (Repeat of 'Honeymoon')
The second season of House is likely to return the following week.

Thursday 2nd February
7.30pm Smallville (New to Ten)
8.30pm Medium (Repeat of 'Penny to your thoughts'
9.30pm Medium (Repeat of 'When Push Comes To Shove Pt 1')
11.05pm Sex and the City (Series return, New to Ten)

So.. just to confirm, that means both House episodes, and both Medium episodes are definitely repeats?? the new eps don't start until next week don't they? Sorry, the guide(s) have been confusing me.

Yes, you are correct, ixnay.

Repeats this week, new episodes next week, yes. Ten's just airing the previous season's finales beforehand. Which I think is good, particularly for The O.C. which hasn't aired in around 7 months.

Same with Medium, I haven't seen that show in ages now since the finale last year.

Hey guys,

Ten is expected to unveil its official 2006 relaunch in the next 24 hours, most likely tonight (Sunday). Not sure of the exact details.

By the way, great marketing idea by Ten today by including new episodes of House, Supernatural and Everybody Hates Chris on DVD in News Limited papers today. EHC looks terrific.

Yes, Expect the Networks that air Supernatural and Everybody hates Chris in the US are infact Merging, it's true. The WB and UPN Netowrks are joining Forces to become the CW Network. With 7th Heaven Cancelled and Charmed looking like ending, there's no doubt we would have a stronger Fifth TV Network come Fall 2006 in the US.

The new look looks great... but what the hell is that "Tonight on Ten" show at 6:30 that goes for a few seconds. Very interesting

I saw that tonight on ten thing. At first I thought it was some infommercial or an ad or something because I just missed the beginning of it. I noticed that after Smallville cut to a commercial break it would should an image of channel 10 people. I was a bit weirded out at first when I saw Boyd in a suit just staring.

 

Seven's (sev.ASX:Quote,News) hit US program Lost last night drew an average audience of 2.12 million viewers, making a clear statement to other networks of their intention to secure viewers before the official start to the ratings year.

Lost, a series about a group of castaways stranded on a Hawaiian island, peaked at 2.26 million viewers.

The launch of the second series was up against Nine's (pbl.ASX:Quote,News) Midsomer Murders, Ten's (ten.ASX:Quote,News) repeat of Medium, ABC's Cutting It and Remote Area Nurse on SBS.

Networks will officially go to battle when ratings season commences on Sunday, February 12.




 




Seven has made no secret of its desire to cement its claim on primetime slots before the competitive period.

"Our strategy is one of building our primetime with key programs in the lead-up to the beginning of the television year," a Seven spokesman said.

"We have Desperate Housewives the breakout number one program of 2005 back next week and look forward to our primetime coverage of the Olympic Winter Games from 11 February."

On Wednesday, Seven's Prison Break made it's Australian debut, grabbing an average audience of 1.94 million viewers.

Despite these ratings victories, Seven weren't keen to make any forecasts.

"We're anticipating a tough and competitive year," the spokesman added.

"We are just focusing on who we are and what were doing. It's early days yet."

With new seasons of House, Medium and Law and Order, plus Australian series The Biggest Loser, Ten says it is confident going into ratings.

"We have had one of our strongest summers ever and the strongest line-up going into survey period," a Ten spokeswoman said.

Nine says it was not unnerved by Seven's recent ratings triumphs, arguing that new local shows including Missing Persons Unit and Clever, and its coverage of the Commonwealth Games in March, would maintain the networks top ratings position.

"As Australia's number one network we're confident our schedule of many fresh and new local shows," a Nine spokesperson said.

"Healthy audience numbers attracted to quality programming only makes for a stronger television market - and there remains no advertising medium that can rival the power of free-to-air TV."

Maybe members would return faster to correct posts if the 'reply notice' emails were activated? . .at least for Private Messages.. . when somebody has made a mistake it could take ages for them to return . .but a reply notice for PM's could alert them sooner. . .this is the only board I have ever seen that does not do it. . is there a reason?. .    

I think 9 are in denial about the amount of f#ckups they have managed to put forward in such a short amount of time  

10 never seem concerned about ratings

Quoted from aquamonkey

10 never seem concerned about ratings

That's obvious!. .

The new look is heaps good. They changed their entire look except the logo, and the new "You're Back Watching XXXXXX" is also very nicely designed.

Well done Ten, and I love the new song in the promo, plus the people in it.

Ten have a specific demographic they target...and they do pretty well with that demographic ...they get much more loyalty than the other commercials...which means they do ok bringing the $$ in 'cos they can show that they have a higher % of certain demographic and the advertisers will pay to have access to that demographic...so they probably don't need to worry so much about their ratings

and yeah I agree Gizmo it does seem obvious to me...but neither of us is in the target demographic for ten any more  

love it TEN

That tonight on ten bit is a little lame but the new ten promo is cool

10  know the under 40s are a done deal

And nine..they always win and they know it..they're justifiably arrogant.

Quoted from fajo

That tonight on ten bit is a little lame

i know

how long do you think it will last until it's canned?????

Dunno but the 'comedians' doing it were incredibly unfunny. I don't mind the idea but trying to make it a comedy bit is a mistake,just make it matter of fact.

good promo for the most part, could have done without old cow gretal at the end of it, they REALLY need to let her go

Quoted from fajo

Dunno but the 'comedians' doing it were incredibly unfunny. I don't mind the idea but trying to make it a comedy bit is a mistake,just make it matter of fact.

Was it just me, or in that interview they supposedly had over the phone with the guy from supernatural sound a lot like Modigliana (the cat) from the Ferals?

It was a little strange and lame, but at least it was sort of funny, more interesting than "In Summer"

I like the promo images though, where a character from a show poses all dressed up. Like Boyd, Gretel, etc. Works well.

What do you think of Ten's new ident? Speak your mind here.

And does anyone know what the song is they're using?

IMO, I absolutely love it, and it's well made

They even upgraded their consumer info with the new logos used for ratings (and I think Nine did too).

yeah i reckon its great, its better than how they put the whole, 'What i like about you' song on 24/7

I dont thnk ive noticed the new Ten thingy...but when i do, ill make sure i come on and share my opinion of it

I love the new Ten promos however I wish they kept the watermark where it was before. And I hope they don't do what Seven often does with their shows and reformat the closing credits to fit a giant advertisement on the top of the screen. That's really annoying. I just feel that it affects the integrity of the TV show.

The good thing about Ten's watermark is that it mixes perfectly with the "you're back on xxxxx" logo. Seven and Nine just can't seem to do that.

And squeezing them to unreadable proportions does? Seven are doing the right thing by having generic credits, the producers made their credits with this in mind which is why every god dammed US show has plain credits on a black background. Its they way of the future, the next best thing to not having them at all.

Ok, I found out details about the song...

It's by Green Dragon and called "What I Like About You" (Something like that anyway)

The following is a petition asking for F1 Qualifying to be shown on Channel Ten.

To:  Network TEN Australia

Channel Ten has the exclusive Australian live rights to all rounds of the 2006-2010 Formula One World Championship. This also includes the rights to show Practice and Qualifying sessions and the rights to telecast highlights from all rounds. In 2005 Practice and Qualifying was only shown for the Australian GP and the only races that were shown live in 2005 were the Chinese (AEST), Australian, Japanese, Brazilian Canadian and US GP's. We want Qualifying to be shown for every round and we want FULL coverage of the Japanese GP to be shown after Bathurst or at 10:30pm.

This is what we want

I ask for the Malaysian GP to be shown live in WA only because if it were shown live in the other states it would have to be shown primetime but in WA it will finish at 5:00pm.
