Transformers Movies and Cartoons on Free-TV

Tonight (Tuesday) on channel 99 is TF2 again.... which was what they played last month, so maybe they only bought the rights to that one.

it probably was the cheapest.

I'm too sober to sit up and watch it again within such a small timeframe

Saturday night on Channel 10 at 8.55 is TF3 - Dark of the Moon.

So Channel 10 must have wanted to keep the rights to the third movie, and gave up the second one to Channel 9.

The 2007 movie is on tonight on Channel 10 at 9.44pm.

With each of the networks now having 3 or 4 channels, they repeat a lot of movies within short spaces of time (it's like repeat screenings on PayTV, but less predictable). Network 7 was playing the Pirates movies a couple times over, while 9 played the newer Batman movies a couple times within a few weeks. (not to mention replaying their most costly shows up to 3 times in the week, and the odd new movie within two weeks on a different channel of theirs)

It wouldn't surprise me if we get the full run of three again, as it was just a couple months ago when Ten last played them a week apart.

I remember back in the early days of Pay TV when Showtime was included in the standard package they repeated movies so often you would be be sick of the movie long before the movie was finished its run.

Channel 7 used to repeat TFTM every New Year's Day for years. I think they stopped somewhere around the mid 90s, but that used to be an annual ritual for me. Pretty sweet way to welcome in the new year.

I only ended up seeing a single commercial for it, a couple hours before it started (which was why I didn't even know it was on until that day)... and it is funny to see the different angles the TV stations use to promote the same movie.
On a recent screening there was heavy promoting of it being a Michael Bay film, and on this one, the TV advertisement was all about Megan Fox... more than the actual robots... as if people would watch a movie just because she is in it.
