Channel TEN delays.

Well right now it is 11:15pm AEST. The German Grand Prix started at 10pm AEST yet Channel TEN hasn't started the telecast yet. It is scheduled to start at 11:30pm, however due to the Big Brother eviction show earlier tonight, the Grand Prix telecast probably won't start until 11:45pm. By that time the race will be over and I could find the result on the internet, but I won't look at the F1 website so I'm not spoiled by the result.

Channel TEN can't get and Big Brother live shows to end on time. On friday night the "Prize Fight" game show for Big Brother ran until 10:25pm, when it was scheduled to run from 7:30pm until 9:30pm. I was waiting for Veronica Mars to begin at 9:30pm, but it didn't happen. So much delay. Most preceeding weeks Veronica Mars didn't start until about 9:45pm, which allowed me to get home before it started, but I was setting the VCR to record it, and had I not been coming home I would have had another 15 to 20 minutes of Big Brother crap. Next week Veronica Mars is scheduled to start at the new time of 10:30pm. I'm surprised they didn't just stop showing it again, like they did part way through the season, and now with just 4 episodes left of this season they are changing the timeslot. Before it this week is The Simpsons at 7:30pm followed by Everybody hates Chris, then the American Pie Wedding movie. Why couldn't they put Veronica Mars at 7:30pm?
