Australia: Family Guy on Fox 8 tonight at 8.30
Posted by Andy on Sunday, July 23, 2006 in Australasia
From a Foxtel Press Release
“In the first such deals in Australia, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution has awarded long-term future Australian television rights to Network Ten (TEN) and FOXTEL.”
“This is the first time a major US studio has apportioned first-run rights across both free-to-air and subscription television in Australia and marks a completely new approach to international program supply agreements.”
Okay, so what does it mean to you? Well, the new deal effects the showing of Family Guy and American Dad in Australia. It wasn’t meant to take affect until 2007, but as of tonight season 4 of Family Guy is showing at 8.30pm on Fox 8 (a foxtel/austar channel) followed by first season American Dad at 9pm. These are new weekly times for the two shows and marks an improvement on the poor scheduling previously done by Channel 7 (if you were in a State that got the shows).
