Shizz be cold people.
The M-Net channels are continuing their schizophrenic, multiple personality disorder and this time they're making Norman Bates look like a sweet, well adjusted teen!
M-Net Family and M-Net City have always been a confusing mess but the latest developments on both channels have plunged them into total chaos.
Both are supposed to go through yet another M-Net channel makeover from Wednesday, 1 June BUT there's not even a schedule for the new M-Net Family yet!
Hang onto your nerves because you're going to need to try to stay calm as we attempt to explain the mess...
As from tomorrow, M-Net City will only air crime shows and procedurals and M-Net Family is supposed to become home to comedies and reality shows. Because there's no schedule for M-Net Family, it's impossible to tell you what these will be and what will happen to the other shows currently airing on the channel.
There's also no word on what's going to happen to drama series on both channels because there seems to be no plan for them.
The dramas that are currently airing on M-Net City e.g. Billions will finish their run on M-Net City but there's not a word on what will happen to all other dramas once these end.
If you've been following the M-Net channels for any amount of time you'll know that this kind of upheaval smacks of gremlins from the past. If you can handle the trauma... cast your mind back to the horrors surrounding M-Net Series Zone and Showcase and Reality.
And for some added torture... think back to what happened with M-Net Series and M-Net Action!
These channels have been constantly disrupted in upheaval and the trend doesn't stop. Besides the changes to the genre of shows on M-Net City, it's also going through a major schedule change which means that the crime/procedurals that are currently on the channel are changing times too, like Suits.
It used to air on Tuesdays at 19h30 and now it's changing to Mondays and Tuesdays at 21h00, starting this coming Monday (6 June).
Here's an overview of the new schedule on M-Net City:
