TEN scored second place last night as Nine continues to struggle with Reno Rumble.

TEN’s best performer was NCIS at 586,000 which, whilst not stellar numbers, was enough to nab second in its timeslot.

  2. Hooray TEN! A victory is a victory! I feel in my waters that Masterchef is going to be a massive runaway hit this year. If I was a gambling man I would say, with the new judge it will be on par with season 1. Yes I know that’s a big call. But I will stand by it.

    1. I agree… maybe not 3 million as it’s hard for any show to top 2.2m these days but I am sure it will be the biggest season since 2011 that’s for sure. Last year something clicked and it became the biggest show of the year (2.133m winner announced). And it oozes sophistication and class compared to MKR.

  4. Out of curiousity, does anyone know if the show Have you been paying attention is scheduled to return this year? It was one of the highlights of my viewing week and I’m hoping it comes back soon this year.

          1. Should be in the next few weeks…they’re keeping the Mon 8.30 slot warm with Comedy Festival specials

  6. I don’t like it but I have to eat my words in regards to Seven Year Switch. I thought it would be in a 10.30pm slot by now but it is actually doing well and very strong in all three demos. I hope they get the Goggleboxers to review Best Bits and then Best Bits discusses Gogglebox discussing them.

  7. I forgot about Best Bits. Interestingly, my EPG has Best Bits at 9pm next week? And wow, what a week of mixed fortunes of TEN. Behind SBS on Saturday, beating 9 on Tuesday. I know none of it counts though.

  8. If you are going to attack a misleading headline – using a 13.8 vs 13.7 isn’t the way to go.

    I am just stunned that Ten came in second.

  9. This headline is misleading – Ten didn’t beat Nine… the Ten *Network* suite of channels beat the Nine Network suite of channels, but Channel 9 (13.8) beat Channel 10 (13.7).

    If you’re going to report the network share, the headlines really should reflect that IMO.

    1. How is it misleading? TVT always reports network shares. In network shares TEN beat Nine as the story denotes. Today Nine’s own sales boss Michael Stephenson says “We should be judged on all 4 channels.” Not the day to be pushing that argument, but it is one I have followed for years.
