ppAn audience of 192,000 viewers watched ABC1’s Countdown To 3 live show on Friday as the PM was joined by Cassie Davis and Short Stack. It peaked at 222,000.

At 6pm 83,000 of them migrated across to the new channel to check out Prank Patrol. Whilst ABC hasn’t released a complete breakdown of figures for its first night, it claims it peaked at 91,000 later that night with a FTA share of 49% amongst its target 5-12 year olds.

The jewel in the crown for the broadcaster, My Place, was not one of the top 5 titles on its opening weekend:

Prank Patrol – 83,000 Tot Ppl (16.2% FTA Share 5-12yo)
CJ the DJ – 65,000 Tot Ppl (14.1% FTA Share 5-12yo)
Studio 3 Evening – 60,000 Tot Ppl (11.7% FTA Share 5-12yo)
News on 3 – 55,000 Tot Ppl (13.4% FTA Share 5-12yo)
Studio 3 AM – 46,000 Tot Ppl (20.5% FTA Share 5-12yo)

ABC3 has so far reached 15% of 5-12 year olds in metro cities since its launch.

The official website attracted 44,000 visits and 331,000 page views over the launch weekend with over 3000 children signing up to be members of ‘Club 3’.

Director of ABC TV Kim Dalton said “These figures are fantastic and just confirm what we have been saying for quite a while now- Australian kids want their own free to air channel. The response to the first three days of ABC3 make all the hard work worthwhile.”

PLEASE NOTE: ABC3 advises, “The first series is almost over, so it’s a little too late to apply to be on Prank Patrol. But that doesn’t mean Prank Patrol won’t be looking for more Pranksters in the future, so keep checking abc.net.au/abc3 for updates!”

  22. Tad suprised by those figures, but as that was Day 1, and well publicised (plus the simulcast) ment it was to be expected. Give it 3-6 months, and I’d say 35,000 or so will be common.

    As to all those annoying “i wanna be on prank patrol” kiddies, go fire off a letter (Not email!!!) to ABC Management. Odds of being picked? Lower than lotto.

    @Javs, I would say (guessing) that Kirben knows a lot more about TV than yourself. I have to agree with Kirben though. Given I’m 17 (nearly 18), I’ve seen a lot of shows that have:
    Failed miserably (50% of Commercial Kids Shows in the last 10 Years
    Done extremely well and were good quality (A’mazing or Agro anyone)
    Or complete & utter garbage that should be axed (This/Toasted TV)
    The quality in the last 5-10 years has really gone down. As reality went up in the world, networks are spending less on quality, and more on quantity.
    Hopefully 2010 brings a change to that.

  24. hey scotty
    i would like to prank my best friend brandon
    because he is so smart and annoying
    (ps:his last name is smart)
