Channel Nine has dropped misfiring Reno Rumble from the 7.30pm time slot from next week, switching it with its surprise hit of last year Married at First Sight.

Nine has decided to move the M rated show to the earlier timeslot – thought to be the first time a show with that classification has been aired at that slot since rules were relaxed – after Reno Rumble failed to break 450,000 metro viewers in its first four outings.

It will now be shown at 8.50pm on Mondays and 8.50pm on Tuesdays, with repeats of the Big Bang Theory filling the hole at 7.30pm on Wednesdays.

I thinking reno rumble inspires me and is a nice level of reality tv with everyday people. The other shows on air are (to me) ridiculous. I hope to see reno rumble continue.

Wow, as some Australians continue to fight for their right to have a legal marriage, shows like this continue to make a mockery of the very concept of it. Interesting times.
