The Blacklist tops Monday, but Homeland sinks.

Ratings: Seven's new drama scores 1.5m viewers while TEN gets a lesson in the importance of lead-ins and promotion.

It topped the night with 1.56m viewers for Seven while Homeland sank to just 443,000 for TEN due to no lead in. Maybe its audience had already seen the leaked online premiere or took advantage of TEN’s generous live streaming yesterday afternoon? That’s being optimistic.

  1. I’m sorry about the news about Homeland and Ten. I’m not totally shocked it didn’t go well on a Monday. Because it usually isn’t their night. Also moving a show can be very risky. Although I wonder if it’ll pick up. I fear not.

  2. i wonder if the blacklist last long when x factor finishes soon will the ratings last long ten & lets hope when they put back ncis & la back on wednesday to face up against agents of shield & hostages from 7 & 9
