The ratings decline at Channel Nine continues to happen, and it seems the network are desperate to turn things around.

Part of their plan to fix the problem is a new sports variety show featuring some of the nations hottest prospects, called Between The Lines.

Fronted by TV big shot Eddie McGuire, the proposed show will feature veteran comedian Mick Molloy, and Miss Universe entrant Rachael Finch.

A pilot for the show was believed to have been shot yesterday, with a format, which is based around sports talk with some crowd participation.

It follows previous sports-style pilots and talk shows ideas featuring McGuire and would mark the third variety format for Mick Molloy and Nine.

The new show is proposed to be set for a Monday nighttime slot, but nothing is confirmed yet.

With Hey Hey Its Saturday set to make its return in 2010, the addition of Between The Lines could see Nine return to its glory days of before.

A Nine spokesperson said they network were very exited about the prospect next year.

“It will be a very different set and something we haven’t seen before,” they said.

“It will have a strong sports influence, but not be completely dominated by sport.”

It will be a busy 2010 for McGuire who will take on numerous TV roles as well as his radio commitments for Triple M.

Next year he will cover he Winter Olympics for the Nine Network as well as being the host for the Hot Seat.

If the pilot is pushed through, it will not air until after the winter Olympics.
