Racing-the-clock thriller 24 returned to US, UK and Aussie screens this week in the mini-series sequel Live Another Day but there’s no sign of hero Jack Bauer living another day here. And even if he did, fans wouldn’t see him in HD. MediaWorks, which used to own the rights, consigned the ex-TV3 property to SD channel Four […]

TV2’s The Blind Side steam-rolled TV3’s Night at the Museum when the HD re-runs went head-to-head on Sunday.

TV3’s Bones double-bill strategy went from zero to hero in a week. Pairing a season-six re-run with a season-eight first-run episode seemed risky, especially after the first teaming tanked in the ratings. But last night the Bones re-run narrowly out-rated TV2’s Embarrassing Bodies Live From the Clinic with adults 18-49 and 25-54, the demographics that […]

TV3’s punt on pairing new episodes of Bones with two-year-old re-runs flopped Thursday, when the repeat hour shed half the viewership of its lead-in.
