Nine to revive Australia’s Got Talent in 2016

July 8, 2015 2:43

The Nine Network has announced it will revive Australia’s Got Talent some 15 months after it axed the talent show.

The move comes as the TV network also confirmed it would also bring back The Voice in 2016.

In a statement Mark Fennessy, Shine Australia CEO, said: “The Voice is a certified global smash which continues to deliver outstanding ratings and a brilliant second-screen experience. Together with our partners at Nine, we’re delighted to commence work even earlier in building on that success in 2016.”

The Voice has performed well this year beating Ten’s Masterchef after the network promised a “refresh” after last year’s finale failed to fire.

It appears that Nine’s content development department does not have talent.

Why do the FTA Networks continue to flog dead horses? No wonder audiences are down!

Interesting move. Unfortunately last series showed, despite being well produced, that Australia’s talent has been fully mined and exploited. There just aren’t enough people with tragedies and talent left, let alone talent, that haven’t been on one of these shows.
