What has derailed @Channel7′s Big Red Train?

Celebrity Splash - Andrew Symonds

2013 is fast becoming the Seven Network's annus horribilis. Sure it started strong with the best results My Kitchen Rules has seen in its five year life, and a lot of its other programming continues to deliver strongly, despite the feeling some shows feel decidedly out of place (Mrs Brown's Boys anyone?). There have been some significant missteps this year that are proving to be the most bruising the network has seen in years. The ability to claim ratings supremacy does strange things to television network executives and only moreso when the figures get tight. There's a lot to be gained for a network to be able to claim they're the … [Read more...]

Raising Hope

Oh. Em. Gee. Boy do we at MolksTVTalk know how to jump on a bandwagon. You may look in One Direction, but we'll point you in the other One Direction. #1D. And so forth.

Dario Russo & Sean James Taylor - Danger 5

Well here we go - the first week of ratings, and SteveMolk & Josh are back with another podcast episode to educate, confuse and horrify. Kerri-Anne resurfaces, Sunrise has a nasty case of the delays, Channel 7 finally get their Revenge, House gets cancelled two seasons too late just as it's about to start screening in Australia - there's just so much to talk about. Recorded on Valentine's Day (for all the lovers out there) because Molk had some commitments in SYD on Wednesday... but you'll hear all about that too. Oh, and Josh was REALLY sick. On this week's show: The 2012 MOLKIES! (2:50) THE BIGGEST LOSERs fall in love. … [Read more...]

Hot Potato, Hot Potato indeed (#Wigglegate)

Greg Page - The Wiggles

The Wiggles have been the nice guys of the Australian entertainment industry for over 20 years. In the last 24 hours they've managed to cast a very dark cloud over their relationships and business dealings with the very poor handling of the return of original member Greg Page to the group (and the ousting of replacement Sam Moran). Five years ago, Greg felt he needed to leave The Wiggles due to a health issue that would cause him to pass out and not be able to perform at gigs. A ceremony of sorts was held showing Greg hand over the coveted yellow skivvy to his understudy Sam Moran, with an explanation that Greg was unable to perform and so … [Read more...]

Million Dollar Drop

2011 - the year that television kept on giving. And taking. But mostly giving. But when it took, it took HARD. For this very special review episode we were joined by Scott Ellis - media writer for Fairfax newspapers including the Sydney Morning Herald. We cast a critical eye across the programming that mattered, shattered and battered. Where did Channel 7 go wrong? Why did Channel 10 do that to themselves (and will it pay off)? Did Channel 9 manage to claw anything back to help them get closer to being the "home of comedy"? Was Rob Charlton the best Kerry Packer that ABC1 could afford? (The answer to that last question is a resounding … [Read more...]

Something in the water

Kerri-Anne Kennerley

With the last week day of ratings for the 2011 year, lots of daytime programming broadcast their final "normal" shows today before moving into their "summer series" through December & January. All three commercial morning shows had a definite "last day of school" feel to them, with hijinks, best of packages and farewells. Teachers notice it with kids especially. It started in breakfast, where both Sunrise and Today are hitting up audiences by enticing them with cash. The former has their cash cow, the latter as their "I wake up with Today" premise where you must answer the call within 4 rings with that phrase. What happens when the … [Read more...]

Too much tragedy is never enough

Quakers Hill Nursing Home Fire

I did something very unpopular on Twitter today. I questioned the validity of a story's national importance. There is no question the fire in the nursing home at Quakers Hill in Sydney this morning is newsworthy. It's horrible that anyone died, let alone the confirmed 3 elderly occupants that died as a direct result of the incident. Many more are currently in hospital being treated for smoke inhalation and some as a result of existing health problems exacerbated by the fire. Emergency crews attended the scene promptly and performed their jobs admirably - the fire was extinguished as quickly as possible, patients were evacuated promptly and … [Read more...]

MolksTVTalk – the Podcast (S01E12)

27/10/2011 by 1 Comment

With now one dozen episodes in the can, is there nothing we can't do? Very clearly there's lots, but we'll continue podcasting nonetheless. We were very lucky to speak with Jason Jordan, proud West Australian and heavily involved in West TV (the "community" station based in Perth). His views on TV, community and otherwise, are very interesting and he's never short of an opinion. In addition to this SteveMolk & Josh spend some time talking about the week's alleged happenings, including the movements at Channel 7 staff-wise and horse-wise. As the sun rises over the West Australian desert, we chat about: All the news that's fit to listen … [Read more...]
