I always watch the brekkie ratings war on here with interest and also often wonder why it never seems to be one or the other consistently winning? The Morning Show seems to always win though so people must turn over at some stage.
I hope Rosehaven starts getting funny soon. Its slowness and thin storylines are testing my patience.
I am rather enjoying it.
Was it just me, or was Hard Quiz … just not very good?
We’ll probably give it a 3nd or 2rd chance, but it needs to pick up to become even “nothing else on, may as well watch that” viewing.
It really is a tight battle between Today and Sunrise lately. Everytime you post their ratings it seems to be a different one in the lead. Today just in front in this post but earlier this week it was Sunrise. Will be interesting to see who wins the year.
Does anyone care that much, apart from those involved? I never watch breakfast TV so nil interest from me.
There’s ongoing interest yes, same as any show.
Agreed, and it would be interesting to discuss why and how it is panning out.
Sunrise seems to win earlier in the week, with Today getting the nod later.
I find it surprising because I generally turn the box on while readying myself for work and really just tune in for news, weather and traffic updates.
Maybe it’s a sign that, as viewers, we just have the channel still set to the last program we watched the night before? The close numbers surely suggest that there isn’t a great loyalty between breakfast viewers and a particular show.
