[edit] History
[edit] Origins
The general concept for Go! was revealed on 23 March 2009, with the Nine Network announcing their intention to start a standard definition variety-based multichannel, expected to launch mid-way through 2009. The channel's name and branding was first revealed as Go!99 on 14 April 2009 by TV Tonight, a blog dedicated to Australian television.
The channel's name was confirmed by the Nine Network via A Current Affair as Go! on 15 July 2009,[3] as well as multi-coloured logo variations.[3][1]
[edit] Launch
Go! will launch on 9 August 2009 at 6:30 pm with Wipeout being the first program to air on the channel.[4] The Nine Network's regional affiliates, WIN Television and NBN Television, have confirmed that they will also launch Go! on 9 August 2009, on Channel 88.
[edit] Programming
Original plans for Go! suggested it would consist of a mix of entertainment and lifestyle programming.[5][6] However, this was later changed to youth-oriented and light-entertainment programming.[7]
It was announced in June 2009 that the Nine Network had signed a $500 million deal with Warner Bros. to continue its current output deal for another five years from 2011 to 2015.[8][9] The deal helped Nine retain existing content (including many television series and films), as well as providing new content for both its primary channel and Go!.[8][9] The network also has ongoing content deals with Sony Pictures Television and Village Roadshow.[8][9]
Go!'s programming is stuctured under "themed nights",[10] which includes sitcoms and movies on Sunday, male-skewed reality on Monday, female-skewed reality on Tuesday, sci-fi on Wednesday, female-skewed drama on Thursday and CSI nights on Friday and Saturday.[10]
Programming that is currently confirmed for the channel includes:
* Main Australian programming:
o The ARIA Music Show[2]
* Main Australian Programming joint with Nine Network:
o Australia's Funniest Home Videos[2]
