The Ten DVD that came with the newspaper a few weeks ago forces you to endure 7.5 minutes of ads before you're allowed to watch anything else on the disc, and among the promos was a brief promo for Rove Live.

Put this date in your diary: April 1 Sunday 8:30pm.

I hope the show has been vastly improved over recent years

Good move by Ten putting Rove on Sunday Night as of April 01st, that means over the months Big Brother is on the evicted person from the house will be able to go straight on to Rove without speaking to any other Media outlets first (as the evicted Aust Idol one may as well), plus it gives Rove a demographic to work with, instead of going for broad appeal ... may not be my cup of tea, however it is a good move I figure.

Agreed, good points you make.  Good move by 10.  Just heard that it will be on @ 8:30 and in direct competiton with Greys Anatomy, so will be interesting to see how it goes.  I have always liked the show and it will be good to see Rove back on TV.

I have no doubt in my mind that the series return will rate well for Ten, but I can't see it rating consistently well from thereon. Rove just isn't very entertaining.

Its a great move IMO, it appeals to Young males mostly, and what is there for us to watch on a Sunday night...? Nothing. I know I dont like CSI or Grey's so I'll deffinetelt be watching it. It won't help TEN win the night, but it will deffinetely do better than most other things they can put in the slot and on a regular basis.

i feel like rove will get murdered by the two massive powerhouse shows that are CSI and Grey's! rove it gunna suffer just like what happened to The O.C in the states! i wish it wouldnt happen but i just feel like rove will sufffer in the 8.30 sunday slot! but i will try to have some faith!

maybe they have something new and refreshing to add to rove live this year! i have to stay hopefull but im just afraid!

I don't hink he'll beat Grey's, but once the year progresses and BB and Idol start, it just might work.

I think they're hoping its a different demographic to Grey's and CSI.
I hope it doesn't die. Not that I think its that fantastic, but there's so little comedy/variety on.

Me too. I'm glad the show is evolving, it shows that they are willing to put in the hard work and are not complacent. I hope they get Hamish and Andy on as regulars, they have had a massive increase in popularity.

This should be a very interesting battle.

Apparantly, there are already new promos. Has anyone seen them?

yes i have seen one, where you just see his shoes and the voice over says "TV's been so empty without him"

*eek* I must keep my eyes out for it then.

The promos starting popping up the day they announced Rove's return.
