    Default Let's fix Channel Nine

    The Nine Network this year have had got good use out of their axe. Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune is now the latest program to be boned this year after being thrashed by Seven's Deal or No Deal.

    What could be done to reverse Channel Nines's fortunes and bring them back to their former glory?

    My Plan:-

    * Sack the current executives
    * Bring back Hey Hey It's Saturday
    *Bring back Burke's Backyard
    *Put Gordon Ramsey back to late nights where he belongs
    * Sack Tony Grieg from the cricket coverage
    * Some good quality Aussie Drama series such as The Flying Doctors
    * Some good quality Aussie Mini Series and telemovies such as Halifax FP

    lol @ hey hey it's saturday.... that show was so lame i don't know how it lasted half as long as it did. it was embarrassing to watch and Darrel Somers had no idea what was going on or what segment it was half the time. I watched some clips of it on YouTube the other day and i couldn't believe how bad it was!

    Here is my fix for C9

    Get rid of eddie all together

    Get some more diverse drama shows other than every version of CSI known to mankind

    Create some local quality drama and start investing in local stuff

    Bring back a comedy show like Fast Forward

    Just do something differnt than reality tv and not so much of the crime shows and I think they would at least be better than wehere they are now

    You want to fix channel nine...then instead of whinging about whats on, turn off the programs you do not like. So bloody simple.

    IMO your plan SUCKS, Ramsay rocks, burke is a tossbag and Hey Hey is OLD AND DEAD.
