Modest lift but Reno Rumble still struggles on second outing

Ratings: At 453,000 a small rise for Nine's reality show isn't enough to breathe a sigh of relief.

Night 2 for Reno Rumble managed an improvement on its premiere, up by 58,000.

But even at 453,000 the show was still fourth in its timeslot and dragged down the network share for the night.

That’s not enough for everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, while the network maintains the show is staying put. Nine could still make changes for the return of survey (Sunday April 3) without it impacting on annual share -the only problem is: with what?

Nine’s loss was ABC’s gain with shows moving into #2 in their timeslots, while NCIS also benefitted for TEN.

Seven again ruled the night with MKR while Seven Year Switch dropped 98,000 but won its slot at 760,000.

Seven network won with 32.2% then Nine 22.6%, TEN 19.3%, ABC 19.1% and SBS 6.8%.

My Kitchen Rules was #1 with 1.41m viewers for Seven then Seven News (1.00m / 906,000), Seven Year Switch (760,000), Home and Away (742,000) and The Chase (614,000 / 384,000). Bones was 238,000.

Nine News (977,000 / 908,000) was best for Nine then A Current Affair (796,000), Hot Seat (530,000) and Reno Rumble (453,000). Movie Knight and Day was 182,000 in 3 cities and Titanic was 132,000 in 2 cities.

NCIS (598,000) was second in its slot for TEN. The Project was 585,000 / 446,000, Bondi Rescue was 540,000, Territory Cops was 529,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 505,000 and NCIS: LA was 480,000.

ABC News (830,000) won its slot for ABC while 7:30 (679,000) and Catalyst (669,000) were second in theirs. Keeping Australia Alive pulled 450,000, down by 50,000, and Foreign Correspondent was 430,000.

On SBS it was Insight (346,000), Great Continental Railway Journeys (282,000), Dateline (205,000) and SBS World News (126,000).

Peppa Pig popped on mutlichannels at 281,000.

The Morning Show: 138,000 / 129,000
Today Extra: 115,000 / 100,000
Studio 10: 70,000 / 39,000

  1. I’m done with Reno Rumble, too much arguing not enough reno. Turned it off half way through episode 2 and haven’t looked back. Loved last year, The Block team working well together and to some extent even the House Rules team as well. Was great to see the teams again. The Block itself highlights issues the teams make with their own build and that’s where the drama is watchable. Reno Rumble is just arguing and cringeworthy.

  2. Meanwhile, where was Seven News last night? 7:45pm ABC (7:30 NSW) was reporting Brussels bombings. Nothing from Seven. Switched over to ABC24 during MKR for full coverage. Still nothing from Seven. Caught end of a Nine (NSW) news break around 9:10pm. Still nothing from Seven.

      1. Ah…I watch via Prime NSW. I expect that, as usual, Prime replaced the network newsbreak with their own ‘ripped from the pages of the Illawarra Mercury’ yesternews – those 30-secs that add up to their daily “news” quota. No one saw any banners. There was nothing between MKR and the wife-swapping show.
        Yes, Dr_Rudi, absolutely. But since some 2million or so, including regionals, were watching Seven at least some news from them would have been appreciated. I came across what had happened when switching to ABC24 during MKR commercial breaks.

        1. Hmm – probably a Prime issue. I’m on Central Time, so half an hour behind. Local Seven News mentioned Brussels as a ‘breaking story’; as did SBS World News; I then switched to News24 for wall-to-wall coverage.

  3. You know Reno Rumble is in trouble when it can’t compete with (what I thought was softer) alternatives from 10 and ABC. Lucky for 9, with non-ratings, at the end of the year, they can just pretend this hasn’t happened. Ive always thought non-ratings to be a bit of a farce though, because ads are still being booked…

  4. David you should investigate the Reno number.. I was watching ACA and it ran so far over time methinks even the 453 is inflated! Expect to see it adjusted down (quietly).
