Why isn’t 7Flix in the multichannel numbers?
Does it score less than NITV at 0.3%?
An oversight on my part. Now updated, thanks.
I was thinking OZTAM didn’t supply the information… if it was that bad….
It really isn’t rating that well at all… I think the channel needs rebranding and needs a name change
MIA again. WTFlix are Seven going to do with this channel?
ABC doesn’t offer widely appealing content during the hour between 6 & 7 PM on weeknights and this drags its share down. As a result I think ABC performance is better than the simple share number suggests. If ABC opted to devote more resources to this early evening hour it could get a higher overall result.
I gave up asking ABC about more compelling plans for this hour. I remember when they made Something in the Air for this slot (not that I’m suggesting a whole drama).
