TEN has confirmed it will launch its new digital multichannel, ELEVEN early next year. The new SD channel promises ‘fun and bold programming with particular appeal to the distinctly youthful market.’
It will air all-new episodes of Futurama, The Cleveland Show, Supernatural, Stargate, Dexter, Smallville, The Office, Nurse Jackie, 90210and more.
It will also be the free-to-air home of the iconic The Simpsons.
Neighbours will also move to ELEVEN leaving question marks about the Network’s plans for local content on TEN. It will remain at 6:30pm weeknights.
ELEVEN will draw upon more than 70,000 hours of content from CBS’s library, including Everybody Loves Raymond, Sex and the City, JAG, Frasier, Judging Amy, Happy Days and MacGyver, to name a few.
They will also be basically having 2 and half hours of news from 5 until 7:30pm on their main channel now

It's the new one
It's the new one
Not happy Jan :mad:
another one aimed at the "youth market"
will be interesting. but FTA is all of a sudden interesting again.
Pretty cool, I like all these new channels popping up, and it looks as though they are really pushing for this one to be successful.

I don't watch a lot of tv outside of sport and sports shows but I think channel 10 are now EASILY the best commerical network.

Nothing much new here. Shame but I guess it's better than nothing.
I thought C9/GO! owned the syndication rights to Frasier.
No idea why Ten would want to increase their news & current affairs coverage. It's so garbage that people only watch it if they want the early bulletin.

Get Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show.
This.
So an hour bulletin on the news
Followed by half an hour of 'national' news
Then half an hour of 'local' news
Lastly the 7pm report
Listen to the same news four times in a row

Meh. Just another channel to go past on my way to ABC2.
Listen to the same news four times in a row
or you could watch another channel :/
I thought C9/GO! owned the syndication rights to Frasier.
Frasier hasn't been on GO for a couple of months.This is probably why.

Sounds pretty good and much better then 7mate. Will be watching Neighbours for a start and then probably a fair amount of the CBS stuff as well. I can see myself watching more on this ch then on 10.

From what I understand...
5pm-6pm: The local news we have now in its current format.
6pm-6:30pm: I'm thinking they are trying to replicate the 'National News' they have here in the States... which is more magazine style... one lone anchor intro-ing 3 stories... some stories may be going into more depth on a major story going in current events and looking at a certain subset of it and having some other reporter cover each story, other stories may be more generic... but i suspect there will be a sense of professionalism about it.
6:30pm-7pm: ACA/TT rip-off for the local market. Lots of investigative reporting and sensationalist journalism.
7pm: 7pm Project, whatever that is... i'm outside Oz, but i gather its a panel type show talking about current events.
So yeah, 2.5 hours of "news" but produced in different flavours. Might be a bit over kill for the Oz audience though.
6pm-6:30pm: I'm thinking they are trying to replicate the 'National News' they have here in the States... which is more magazine style... one lone anchor intro-ing 3 stories... some stories may be going into more depth on a major story going in current events and looking at a certain subset of it and having some other reporter cover each story, other stories may be more generic... but i suspect there will be a sense of professionalism about it.
So, like the 7:30 Report?
News followed by in depth news followed by stupid sensationalist news followed by the shitpm project.
Will not watch.
Adding more channels is fine, but diluting content to make it feasible is stupid. Go!, seven-two, 11 and basically all the same with budget old American stuff.
I hope they don't pull financing away from OneHD.
There's plenty of content to go around, really. Honestly a lot of that old stuff is gold and deserves to be shown in syndication - when's the last time an episode of Cheers was on FTA TV?
The trick is balancing it judiciously with new content. The amount of sports content around is ridiculous and it's why channels like ONE and Fox Sports are so insanely successful compared to 99% of other pay and digital secondary channels. When tennis Grand Slams, Seven Nations rugby, English Super League, VFL, Schute Shield, and pretty much every soccer league that isn't the EPL get such awful coverage despite the rights all being held by various networks then there should be no complaints about lack of content.

Yes, but now for a commercial station.

So now that Ten have CBS as part owners of their third channel, and providing back catalog reruns of a number of old shows, I wonder if this will also extend into preferential treatment when bidding for current content?
Ten shows a number of CBS shows, but there are many successful CBS shows shown on other networks too.
Ten has Good Wife, both NCIS's, Rules of Engagement, Medium, Letterman
Nine has Survivor, Mentalist, all the CSIs, Big Bang Theory, 2.5 Wankers
Seven has Criminal Minds, HIMYM, Amazing Race
Hopefully it does, I ****ing hate both Nine and Seven... would love to see them shafted by a part ownership deal with Ten.

Nine also have Cold Case and Without A Trace,although both have now gone to God.

The only problem is that these "new" episodes of American shows still won't be new when they're aired on 11. I still have no real reason to tune in to FTA for anything other than free sports broadcasts.
Except the $$$
Well, yeah I guess, but the money is worth it.:)

Have much more choice and a slong as you have a decent internet connection than that overshadows quality of the picture by far.

Bollocks.
Pretty much all sport on Fox is telecast in HD. Much rather be watching live sport in HD on a 50 inch LCD screen with surround sound than hunched over a laptop watching a low quality feed that constantly drops out.
For those too poor to afford Foxtel it is a good option, but to make out it is better is just stupidity.

Apart from the footy (which is turning into being just as bad as Channel 7's coverage, by playing Field of Dreams instead of the Collingwood game on the weekend here in Adelaide), I never, ever watch Channel 10 these days. It just holds nothing of interest for me. None of the proposed programing on this new Channel 11 interests me either.

Quality of the pciture is not the end game when watching sports (even though I honestly thinking watching a stream is not bad quality at all) , it's choice more so.
Guess it depends on what sports you watch. For sure, if you think AFL counts as all sport then yeah Foxtel is obivously where you would want to be watching it.
It's the choice that's the thing, don't have to rely on the TV stations which can delay events to when it suits them. I like watching tennis, having a choice of many different courts then just one that either Seven or Fox are showing is a much better option. Same with the American sports where you have a select few games shown, I can watch Jets games every week etc. It gives me choice of who I want to watch while the quality doesn't bother me too mcuh to be honest.
Different views for different people of course, I think foxtel is pointless when I can pay absically about the same for an Internet conenction that gives much more choice and more of what I want to watch. So it's better for me. Obivously you disagree, that's your opinion.

quality is very important. when you're streaming its pretty much just to see what the scores/result is.. you can't really enjoy the spectacle.
i stream EPL online occasionally, and it is nowhere near as good as watching it on foxtel.
for the record i don't have foxtel. i download most of my tv shows/movies and if i was to get it it would only be for sport, and seeing as though this cant be done without purchasing the base package + sport for an extra $16-17, i cant justify that spend, when i will hardly ever watch anything except for the odd game once or twice a week or 2...
value for money can be questioned, but quality in comparison to streaming certainly cant.
Just saw the ad for this, it has a pretty damn good line-up of shows.
Does anyone know when it's coming? 2011 I guess?
