The 9Nework has made a late minute programming change that will see the premiere of the new reality/cooking format Snackmasters pushed back by one week.

TV Blackbox understands Channel 9 made the decision to push the premiere of Snackmasters back a week after learning Channel 10 had made its own programming change to air the Celebrity Masterchef finale on the Monday Nov 22, rather the previously advised Sunday timeslot.

The decision by 10 to move Celebrity Masterchef to the Monday came after it learned Channel 7 had programmed the highly anticipated Adele/Oprah special for this Sunday evening.

The decision means the first episode of Snackmasters will now premiere on Monday November 29. A move that will see the program airing outside of the official ratings survey period, but with less competition the intriguing new format will have a significantly better chance at building an audience.

However, the decision also means Nine has had to make significant changes to its broadcast schedule for next week. Full details can be found here.

Snackmasters is a unique cooking contest hosted by Scott Pickett and Poh Ling Yeow (MasterChef Australia) where highly awarded chefs at the top of their game go head-to-head to perfectly replicate famous Aussie snacks.

The new series will have all of Australia asking can our top chefs crack the magic snack?

Each week the chefs will wrestle a selected snack into submission in their own kitchens, before entering the Snack Arena for a cook-off judged by the very factory workers who make the snack every day.

The chef whose recipe is closest to the original will take home the highly coveted Snack Trophy and bragging rights as a true Snack Master.
