Thanks for adding this article. It’s good to see what some daytime shows rated.
Good to see The Chase rate higher than Judge Judy. Would be interesting to see how the AUS version rates at 5pm, and if it gets higher than Million Dollar Minute.
Daily Edition’s numbers don’t seem to be that high. But I guess its cheap to make, and the advertorials certainly help make it even more cheaper to make
I don’t care for The Chase UK…so not interested in an Aussie version…
Always interesting to see how the non-primetime shows are doing. I’m surprised Dr Phil beats Ellen. It will be interesting to note how The Chase Australia does compared to The Chase UK, and if the UK version stays in the schedule after the local version launches, if the UK ratings drop.
I dare say because Nine is screening repeats of Ellen this could be a factor. She is on Hiatus May through September.
Wow quite a few on this list that ratted higher than Restaurant Revolution .. Good to see a Bold and Beaitiful is still a winner
How does the UK version of The Chase rate normally?
229,000.
Be interested to know how it does with time shifted data. A lot of people I know record it and watch later…
Sorry… only so much I can access.
Thanks! Since you mentioned Judge Judy in the 3pm timeslot I was thinking The Chase may be below that, so thanks for the clarification!
