Melbourne VIC Trying To Catch Up As Rest Of Aus Streaks Away
Melbourne Australia 1020am AET: Fans of Stargate SG-1 in Melbourne Victoria and to a lesser extent Adelaide South Australia could be forgiven for be just a little peeved at the lack of support of the program by the 7 Network
Somewhere in the past for whatever reason the screening of episodes of the US scifi show fell behind in parts Australia. An attempt to clear the 'backlog' was made when the network started televising two episodes a week straight after the 28rd Olympiad finished this year, and as each state reached Season 8 it dropped back to one episode.
All was going well until Stargate SG-1 was put back to one episode across the nation and moved to 1030pm on 25 November in a one off time change to make way for a special, when it returns on 2 December Melbourne VIC will stay at one episode per week leaving it nineteen episodes behind and Adelaide South Australia four episodes behind the rest of the country.
A spokeswoman at Channel 7 Melbourne told Stargate News Australia today that they are "trying to catch up to the other states" but "it [Stargate SG-1] is not as popular here [Melbourne VIC] as it is in some of the other states". When asked if Channel 7 Melbourne were going to drop back into two episodes weekly the spokeswoman said "it would be staying at one episode per week it may go back to 2 episodes in the future"
Sydney Australia 1036am AET: On the subject of 1 or 2 episodes a week a spokeswoman at Sydneys Channel Seven said there were no immediate plans to go back to 2 episodes a week (for the rest of the country) saying that "it [Stargate SG-1] will be staying as single episode until 16th December" (which will take us through to episode 9 Sacrifices ) but had no information after that date.
We asked if Stargate Atlantis would be starting any time soon and was told "we have no information on that but it would probably begin in the 2005 ratings period", which start in week 7, 06 FEB 05 to 12 FEB 05.
