  1. No MAFS and no I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here… and still MKR only just breaks the million. Where did all the MAFS and Celebrity viewers go. Only half were watching Planet Earth or TBL.

    1. They had the night off. All 3 commercial networks are relying too heavily on their flagship reality show for the week. One show does not sustain prime time across the whole week.

    2. Sunny ..? if folk don’t like what the fta chs are providing, maybe most are streaming something they choose to watch at a time that is convenient for them. That is what will happen now

    1. Welcome back Sully. Missed you yesterday when the results were a little different. But in your excitement about the Ch7 win, I think you have named the wrong 2 networks who need to “re-think” their line ups ?

      1. Yes, my apologies, I meant “Channel 9 & Channel 10”.

        Lapse in concentration.

        Despite Married At First Sight’s return to success & much closer gap between Channel 7 and Channel 9, Channel 9 really only have this program at the moment. Hence why Seven have still dominated each survey week so far.

        With the AFL starting next Thursday for 2017, Seven will ‘default win’ every Thursday, Friday & Saturday.

        So the other networks, if they’re looking to win any weeks in a declining TV environment, better go back to the drawing board.
