The Canberra Times have apparently reported that 7TWO won't be on Prime from this Sunday.

Possibly not until January.

They are expected to make an announcement "soon".

"Delayed start for 7TWO in Prime land
Oct 27

This Sunday’s launch of 7TWO won’t be seen across Seven’s biggest affiliate as Prime Television delays the start of broadcasts of the new multichannel into Regional NSW and Victoria.
Prime are yet to commit to a start date and have told interested viewers inquiring about the new service that an announcement will happen soon.
“Thank you for your enquiry. PRIME hopes to make an announcement on its multi-channels in the near future”

Meanwhile, The Canberra Times report that 7TWO will not start until at least January next year.

Seven Queensland will commence broadcasting 7TWO from Sunday and as reported yesterday, Southern Cross Television have confirmed that they will commence broadcasting 7TWO from December 1st."


If the above is true then we miss out on Heroes season 4 which begins on 7Two on November 4.

Talk about living in a back water..
I rang Prime today and NO..we will not be getting 7TWO on Sunday.

The programme guy I talked to said they had no fixed date as to when we might be getting it. sad.gif

I'd been thinking of sending them an e-mail or calling them asking them, if they don't start from day 1, how do they propose to get the viewers caught up on all the series programs.

I should give them a call and let them know I will be downloading the programs off the net and not watching them on 7-2 when launched, instead of starting half way through seasons on the new channel.
