If you were selling 24 mins of advertising in a 22 min show, would you stop? To fill a slot in a schedule there’s nothing cheaper than a free copy!
Not how it works. Simulcast = same show as well as same ads over all 3 channels all sold as ads for one show on one channel. To have different ads on the other channels they’d actually have to break it up into figures for each channel (and as an advertiser you’d want and need that!).
An audience of 600k is better than 500k + 50k + 50k for advertisers and hence Ten.
The simulcast also increase the chances of catching people flicking around, holding them for awhile and promoting that night’s stories on The Project.
Do you think TEN will ever stop the Family Feud simulcast?
