After Operation (not) Live it’s good to see Sunday Night actually aired on the correct day.
Not a bad season of I’m A Celebrity better than last year’s which felt flat for me. Unlike others, I missed episodes early due to the tennis but watched every episode later on. One issue with this year’s show though was the number of extravagant rewards the celebs received such as Tim Tams Pavlova and the like I don’t remember that in previous years and I think while only a small thing it does take away from the show a little.
I don’t watch the show, but that sounds like a commercial arrangement between 10 and Arnott’s!
Interesting theory. Product placement on a commercial network.
KFC would never sponsor I’m A Celebrity 😉
OzTAM seems to be completely outdated especially when you can live stream something like IACGMOH on ten play. OzTAM in Aus and Nielsen in the US need an overhaul
Not entirely. They provide a separate set of numbers for live streaming and catch-up.
I’m not convinced that the relatively small sample of households with a ratings box reflects the entire nations viewing with any accuracy.
10 still trailing the ABC, even with a buzzy reality show finale, highlights the weakness in the rest of their schedule. If DWTS fails for them tonight, they are in real trouble, given Bondi Rescue and Ambulance are unlikely to dent the MAFS/MKR dominance.
The BBL finale ran about 10 minutes into the news in Sydney and Melb on Seven, so perhaps some adjustments coming?
