what the hell nine? Maybe first tv promo on the voice finale? which is 6:30 sunday (correct me if im wrong.)

7.30 Next Monday (July 21)

According to one of the current "The Voice" TVCs, the "Final Two Weeks" starts this Monday (14th).

Mind you, even then, sometimes NINE's interpretation of two weeks isn't 14 days.

In any case, The Block will probably begin thereafter, so it really means zip. :(
 
I would hazzard a guess BB will start the Sunday after Voice Kids finale meaning Block will be at 6.30pm and BB at 7.30pm? But didnt they have opening night on a Monday last year?

But what about 60 minutes? Also, how long is The Voice:Kids anyway?
 
Last year BB launched the day after The Block Sky High ended and I can't see them changing that unless they shift BB to a later timeslot or to GO. There's no room for both shows every night otherwise and even if they hadn't already been airing ads for The Block for a few weeks now, we know it takes precedence over BB. They're both cornerstone shows for Ch 9 and while The Block is obviously the much bigger one, it makes little sense for Ch9 to double up each night. It'd be like Ch 7 running MKR and House Rules at the same time instead of starting one when the other ends. You stretch it out so you have another big show to try to compete with instead of just killing the ratings for 3 months and then your next 3 months are empty. My official punt: Since The Block is starting 2 1/2 months later than last year, BB will start no sooner than late September.
 
So really, we can all pack up and go home until September. :arghh:

Nothing to see, folks. Personally, I'd rather not spend the time scrubbing thru hours of NINE programming looking for BB TVCs that won't show up for another 4-6 weeks.

Well really that's just my guess after seeing people wonder if they'd run both shows at the same time and then confirming the start/end times last year. The first BB ads of 2013 ran at least 5 weeks before it aired as this guy did a fan vid of the original on June 20
and that was smack in the middle of The Block. So yeah, unless they're changing the time slot to late night and skipping Thursdays altogether because of The Footy Show or moving it completely to GO, I don't think it's going to start until The Block ends. I hope I'm wrong though!
