  1. David, love your insights.
    I’m surprised you haven’t yet reported on the “significant” changes by presenters and reporters at the Ten Network.
    The voice coach has had her hands full since turning up at the Pyrmont bunker on Monday. “Warm up, cool down, flex those vocal chords, repeat these lines after me”. . . Blah blah blah.
    The week of voiceology has been amazing, haven’t you noticed the difference!
    The change has been evident in the ratings, averaging a low of around 366,000 nationally.
    But never mind the ratings, as long as the CEO, a kiwi, can say he has sorted out one of the big issues, presenters and reporters voices.
    CBS need to move in and take control.

  2. I posted this under the daily ratings for Thursday, but: It really is interesting that the share of 7Two and 7Mate combined pushed the 7 network into a win, when only two shows in the multichannel list were over 128,000. It must sustain eyeballs, yet their offerings on the main channel last night were not much to write home about. Perhaps their reliance on mulitchannel repeat fodder is a strategy that works and doesn’t require much investment in ‘decent’ shows on the main channel?

  3. Fantastic for Ten, even if only by 0.1%. The demographics are epic. Wonder if Gogglebox’s odd drop was due to competition from Front Bar and an “announcement” on Footy Show in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth?
