Some new shows from Seven.

And the ABC is revamping ABC2, branding it a comedy channel. Which it sort of was, already, but now it’s official.
Kids’ programming will end half an hour later, at 7.30pm (shhh – don’t tell my five year old!).
Tom Ballard (who used to host a reality TV panel show for the ABC) now gets a regular gig with his own nightly show.

News.com.au story and Kiss Bang Love ratings Here
The Briefcase airs Monday, June 20.
With Seven Year Switch coming to an end it’s time for Seven’s new dating show: Kiss Bang Love.
This is the one where a blindfolded person kisses 12 strangers in order to find true love.
They then pick their top five, whom they meet sans blindfold and, if the mood strikes, pash more before picking two people for 24-hour long dates.
That final two is then reduced to one for a romantic holiday.
Preview at Yahoo7
It’s on Seven tomorrow (Tues, May 24) at 8.45pm.
Great story on the ratings flops so far this year for Nine, including Australia’s Got Talent and Farmer. Seven is killing it with MKR and First Dates. Plus some info about shows like Gogglebox and The Block.
Well, this one has been a pleasant little surprise from Channel 7. If you can’t watch it tonight, do try and catch it online later – it’s hilarious.

I just saw the first minute of this and you have to watch to see the English guy who moved to Australia because he was inspired by his addiction to Home and Away. And the producers dish him up a tanned, blonde Aussie chick who loves the beach.
