Programming changes

Changes to network affiliation

This is a list of programs which made their premiere on an Australian television network that had previously premiered on another Australian television network. The networks involved in the switch of allegiances are predominantly both free-to-air networks or both subscription television networks. Programs that have their free-to-air/subscription television premiere, after previously premiering on the opposite platform (free-to air to subscription/subscription to free-to air) are not included. In some cases, programs may still air on the original television network. This occurs predominantly with programs shared between subscription television networks.

Notes

  1. ↑ Originally, the fourth episode of Between the Lines was due to be the final episode broadcast on 2 June 2011;[36][37] the Nine Network then decided to air the sole remaining episode produced the following week on 9 June 2011,[37] however, they reversed this decision screening the first part of Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice.[24] The final episode is therefore yet to air.
