    Channel 7 and Channel 10 must have enticed their programming staff from redundant or incompetent employess of the ABC. I am sure they do it so viewers will not switch to another channel to see an alternative program. Either that, or the poor bastards can't tell the time.

    I just hate how the channels, Prime/7 being the worst offender, run late all the time. I mean, why can't they just pull the plug on Dancing with the "Stars" rather than letting it run 40 minutes late, thus making EPG assisted recording useless?

    They can call it what they like. While ever they treat their veiwers with contempt because of delayed telecasts, timeslot overuns and not ven telecasting some programs listed they will continue to lose viewers to pay TV.

    Long live FREEview. Better than paying big bucks for 100 channels of sh*t on FOXtel.
