“It is not unusual for television networks to change programs. For some time now, we’ve talked about creating more programming options for TEN and moving away from the ‘one bet, one punch’ mentality of old,” Network Ten Chief Programming Officer, David Mott, said.
“These changes highlight that strategy. We are re-setting Everybody Dance Now. But it clearly remains part of the TEN schedule, along with other exciting new local programs such as Puberty Blues, I Will Survive, Don’t Tell The Bride, Class Of, Reef Doctors and Come Date With Me.
“We believe in the Everybody Dance Now format. We have listened to the feedback from viewers and we are working with production company FremantleMedia to reset the show and make it more engaging for viewers,” Mr Mott said.
There are, indeed, changes afoot. As you can see from David’s comment above Ch10 take very seriously the feedback they get from viewers, so much so that Everybody Dance Now has undergone significant changes and it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to that. The move in/up of I Will Survive is the big move, as is shifting The Shire – again. Where this leaves House of Lies I don’t know, but let’s see what survives to next week. Just pity the person who had to tell the boss that his wife’s new show was tanking so hard that all this needed to happen to the schedule.
