Nine prepares for its Olympic year
So what to make of Nine’s upfronts?
First, there were few surprises. Big Brother we knew about. A new series of The Celebrity Apprentice was a no brainer.
And of course, the network’s main commercial focus will be on The Olympics.
So what was unexpected?
Tim, I believe Eddie is also working for Fox Sports now on the new footy channel hence minimal use of Eddie
“none of our free to air broadcasters don’t offer their main channels in HD” – double negative- you meant to say either “all of our free to air broadcasters don’t offer their main channels in HD” or “none of them do”
WE’RE READY FOR 2012.
Lucky, it’s November 2011…
Hi Tim,
Eddie was in fact present at the event.
Hi Luke,
Sorry – I should have been clearer – I meant as part of the presentation..
Cheers,
Tim
Eddie was there…Saw him chatting away to Shane Crawford and Matty Lloyd afterwardaa, probably slating Sydney and GWS….
Still cant see seven losing again this year despite not having the Olympics.
Actuallly the Olympics is great for a 2 week period only , but all media buyers exclude this out of thier negotiations. Hopefully nine has enough programs to run after the event to get some knock on effect going into 2013 negotiations.
Its much better when all stations are travelling well.
Channel Nine has been knocked off their perch this year, not just by losing to Seven but having even Ten, a nearly really bad network, nipping at their heels. Will be interesting to see how Nine plans to use their multi-channels for extra Big Brother streaming?? which might be the only way to save the program, its been done…
