Ten targets Rescue: Special Ops

They've messed Out of the Blue around no end, and now Ten is also plotting against Rescue: Special Ops, the new channel Nine show from Julie McGauran (OOTB producer) and starring Katherine Hicks (Poppy Hammond).

As reported on TV Tonight today, Ten is extending its reality hit Australian Idol in order for it to finish at 8.40pm on Sundays, overlapping with Rescue: Special Ops by 10 minutes from August 9. The first episode of Rescue Special Ops premieres on August 2.

It is slightly frustrating to see that this new show could be under threat from the same source as Out of the Blue's Australian ratings problems. However, all is fair when it comes to TV channel rivalries and it's a lot more understandable than sabotaging your own show which Ten has appeared to do with Out of the Blue.

Will Rescue: Special Ops be a hit? Only time will tell...
