I bet there are some grumpy faces at Seven….would not be to pleased to be 3rd
Dateline had a good night
I thought the killing season was fantastic. It was well produced and balanced well with pro rudd pro gillard messages. It rated well and the networks still don’t want gillard TV movie.hopefully that changes.David just quickly how has late late rating better or worse than with Craig?
45,000 last night.
Wow Channel10 beat 7, that’s impressive well done Channel10.
I didn’t watch Houdini but thought it was a weird choice when each both part is about 2 hours run time. Next weeks starts even later (unless replaced by something else).
Congrats to 10 on #2, Wednesday is a even better lineup for them so hopefully they are rewarded.
Stupid Houdini meant I didn’t get my Gordon Ramsay this week 🙁
Re The Killing Season, I think the expression Ms Ferguson should’ve used is ‘run the gauntlet’!
When will the news be combined and the networks embrace their one hour ratings. Ten only have one figure. Personally I do not watch the 6:00pm bulletin, because I do not like the constant new stories a short sharp burst is all I need to keep me updated.
Congrats to Masterchef, a shame the finale of Love Child was only mid 800’s. Drama points need to change so that networks invest in more than mini-series which garner more points, so little Aussie drama these days with shorter seasons….
It is interesting that weekend news is one hour, yet merged as one figure. And that’s despite some half hour competition too, so that argument can’t be used.
The real problem with 1 hour news is alot of the content is not really news and should be left to ACA/TT – for example – last night on Nine news 5 minutes dedicated to what car is the best value – how is that news?
Go masterchef, great episode, had my mouth watering. Noticing home and away slipping and the project gaining, even making it into important demos. Suprised neighbours can’t improve in ratings as much superior to H&A, better storylines and diversity, doing gay storylines very well, just needs more promotion on main channel.
