Just a week after its launch, ELEVEN hits the front of the digital channel pack.

On Tuesday night it pulled a share of 4.5% ahead of GO! and 7mate both on 4.3%. It wasn’t the biggest share for the channel yet (Monday night was 5.7%) but it was the first time it landed ahead of the rest.

Neighbours was its top rating show on 319,000.

But it was Seven that ruled Tuesday night with a big network share of 37.4%. Seven’s Australian Open Hewitt v Nalbandian match averaged 984,000 but that was across its marathon session that ended at 1.10am.

Seven’s primary channel share, which was 10% more than Nine, shows it still hogged the viewers for the night.

Week 4

  2. Craig Ferguson is must viewing for me. Last night with Larry King was great TV.
    I like Geoff. Must better offisider than the guy with Conan.
    If you don’t like Geoff all I can say is ” Balls”

  4. Congratulations Eleven! I love Supernatural, Smallville and you showing Stargate Universe.

    @ jay jay

    On the theory that Eleven is taking Ten’s audience away I think it’s more complicated. For some things it might. But for myself Ten took away the shows I liked or put them on times I couldn’t watch as well as being highly unreliable including being very late. Which meant I went away. So for myself they finally have put stuff I like on at a hopefully reliable time and channel i.e. Eleven. So Ten threw away viewers with its unreliability. Ten might suffer but due to the way it operates. Especially with more reliable channels as competition. I’m glad as I prefer reliability as well as genre shows. I just wish they’d repeat things as you never know when there might be a power outage.

  6. Great to see shows like Cheers and Roseanne again. Although the first show only got better from Season 6 onwards, and the second was good up until its Season 6.

    Funny how each new extra digital channel is the best… until they start moving, dropping shows.

  7. Good to see 11 doing so well I’m loving all the retro classics. It’s incredibly awesome ch surfing and seeing stuff like The Brady Bunch on in the afternoon just like the 70’s. Now if only they’d show them as is and not alter them for WS.

    Not fussed on the newer stuff except Neighbours & Craig Ferguson who is brilliant. The skeleton is hilarious but Secretariat is a legend!

  8. David, you know I hate to be pedantic, but all the channels are digital channels, including Seven, Nine, Ten, etc. I think you are referring to the networks’ multichannels. :p

  9. @ Vicki B & Aaron,

    Geoff the robot is one of the best things about Craig Ferguson, second only to Secretariat. Ferguson’s Late Late Show is the best thing to come to Eleven and Australian television in a long time. I know that I for one will watch it most nights.

  12. en growing up in the 80s rejoice! I am loving the retro stuff that haven;t had a good re run for a while like mork and mindy and joy of joys roseanne. (BTW just ordered all the roseanne series from a reminder on 11 how good it is and how much i missed it). agree that the decent shows like dexter, supernatural, nurse jackie are now getting a decent and hopefully regular viewing time. and there are heaps more I havent latched onto.

    final word. I had no idea Ted Dansen of Cheers had a toupee when i watched cheers in the 80s. now I can’t stop staring at it!

  13. @vicki b – I agree about Craig Ferguson’s skeleton … he seriously needs to lose it – its not funny at all, and drags him down if anything … but besides that I love him – could watch him all night like Kes said. His scottish humour is more on-par with us aussies than say Leno or Fallon.

    Just need to start showing a few newer seasons of things – like the mix of a few oldies here and there (old shows, not old episodes eg Simpsons – doesn’t help when FOX8 repeat the same ones over & over too).

  14. Thanks to TEN for dumping sooooo many great shows: Dexter, Californication, Supernatural, etc. Here’s hoping they stick around on ELEVEN. So far it’s been my favourite new channel.

    I’m liking the retro shows too, it’s been a nice mix of some great comedy and some rather dated rubbish, but overall it’s all pretty good.

    Only thing that hasn’t grabbed me is Craig Ferguson, I watched a couple of episodes, and that was enough for me. What’s with that skeleton?? How is that funny? I don’t get it.

  15. @bass A show staying on air doesn’t seem to have much to do with quality these days, just look at Two and a Half Men. The main problem with the shows that have moved from Ten to Eleven is that a lot of them have very specific audiences and they just don’t have those kinds of numbers in Australia.

  16. Not really loving 11 during the daytime or on Saturdays, but am definitely enjoying them for the Neighbours and Smallville that they’re showing.

    I think it would be good if they could look at airing some cartoons and/or some sort movies at times though instead of filling the schedule with all the older shows that they choose to air.

  17. Really disappointed with this channel so far, lots of lame repeats and nothing all that earth shattering. I hope they kick off the lame Brisbane radio jocks and start airing some decent programming for a change. And for Gods sake…. please reduce the size of the ugly watermark….. i no longer want to see it on my lovely plasma TV.

  23. Craig Ferguson – I could watch him all night.
    And it’s great to no longer feel so teased by Letterman’s ‘stay tuned for Craig’ funny how it’s Craig followed by Dave for me now.

  24. @ TrendyTim, are you joint at the hip with your GF, can’t you go to bed and she stay up! hehehe

    I stay up late most nights and love having these shows on just wish they would get rid of Sabrina the Teenage Witch or put it after Happy Days.
