Great job 10! Well done, looking forward to seeing more better shows for the rest of this year.
Nice bump for Sports Tonight off the back of Bachelor in Paradise. Recent numbers have been pretty dire – 30K on the 10th April before the Easter ratings break. 69K on the 3rd
Nice to see the numbers more evenly spread….Masterchef was good value viewing….
I just watched Ahn on iview…excellent…The Drum…I mostly listen to …late on ABC News.
That’s a lot for H&A isn’t it?
It is in recent years. Used hit 1m and win it’s slot during the mid 2000’s. Surprised it hasn’t moved to 7Two yet.
Why would they move it? When you look at the ratings it does well in the demographics and has often been Seven’s number 1 entertainment show. Here it was their second best rated programme. Moving to a secondary channel would significantly shed the number of viewers (look at what happened with Neighbours. Had they kept it on the main channel it would probably be among Ten’s most popular shows now considering how dire their ratings are these past few years). I’ve definitely noticed a spike in H&A’s ratings over the past month or so. Have the storeylines become more interesting? Despite it being a soap I will always support programmes like this, employing hundreds of people and developing local talent, then trash like MAFS and MKR etc.
Anh’s Brush With Fame with Tim Minchin was absolutely riveting. Such a unique and beautifully made show. And MasterChef is once again shining brilliantly. A good night for TV thanks to the ABC and 10.
What an interesting person Tim Minchin is. So different to his on screen persona. Sensitive and complex. Well done Ahn. You bring out so many sides to people’s personalities on your beautiful show. And those personalities are reflected in your artwork.
Well done 10, wonder if they can come up with something of the power of MKR or MAFS??
This is great news for 10.
Really impressed with the numbers for You Can’t Ask That considering that the whole series has been available via iView since the broadcast of the first episode.
