Just as MediaWorks swapped episodes of The Simpsons back and forth between TV3 and Four, so will TVNZ alternate seasons of Family Guy. Episodes from seasons 9-13 air six nights a week in SD on Duke but season 14 will premiere on TV2 on June 24 as part of a new-look Friday line-up that includes […]

Given the speculation about MediaWorks […]
