Foxtel has secured the rights to screen The Young and The Restless, taking it away from Channel 9 after 30 years. There are bound to be some very upset Nannas around the place. To my mind it is like comparing different types of manure, but I have it on good authority that YATR is much better than “Days” at the moment.
Foxtel claims it’s IQ and time shift technologies will open the show up to an entirely new market (yeah, good luck with that – I am not convinced it’s all that different from people being able to tape it when it’s been on 9 during the day).
Nine appear to be strongly considering showing the test pattern for three or four hours mid afternoon to fill in all the gaps from their quickly disappearing daytime line up.

LOL. Man Nine are in the poo, they will have nothing by the end of the year. OR now that I think of it. Does that mean Quizmonkey will be shown twice a day ?!
