Television viewers appear to be turning away from travel with news that prime time mainstay, Getaway, has been shifted from 7.30pm Thursday to Saturday afternoons. The popular show has been screening for 20 years and, while Channel Nine is saying nothing about what they are calling a short-term shift, in the hard-headed world of television, falling viewer numbers could be the only reason. The Daily Telegraph reports that a one-week change has already become five. As they say in TV land, more news when it comes to hand.

No Surprise. Channel 9 have lost the plot, Getaway changed many years ago from showcasing destinations to showcasing their presenters own profiles whilst having a free holiday. Stopped watching Getaway years ago and now watch some great travel shows on foxtel.
