channel 7 spend way too much money on shows that don’t rate
I watched Ambulance Australia…usually watch 7.30 later at night…ABC News channel
Hi David, I think you had to say Seven network won Thursday then Nine not Seven again.
I think Seven now is winning the ratings week once again with the big head start they had with the Fire Fight concert on Sunday, they must be in front by now.?
What David said is correct. 7 won last Thursday and this Thursday, thus they won Thursday again. 9 is still ahead but that could well change after Fridays ratings results are in.
There was a typo which I have amended as a result of the comment.
I thought Pooch Perfect was originally a longer series than 6 X one hours as well…
Perhaps harsh reality set in once they had filmed the series and worked out what a fun loving gregarious bunch dog groomers are… or not.
Suggest they only chose Thursday as they have no faith in the series being successful.
7 Should have chosen to air Pooch Perfect Sundays at 7pm as that would appeal to family viewers. Then air MKR Mon – Thurs which they did this week.
Will be interesting to see what they do on March 19th in AFL states when the AFL plays on Seven on Thursdays though. I imagine NRL states will continue as usual.
I would imagine Seven are also deciding what to do based on numbers. – if it’s a somewhat hit, schedule it on Sundays and move MKR Mon – Wed. or MKR will just be Sun – Tues with Pooch Perfect Wednesdays, either way, even though Seven have promo’d it to death, the scheduling doesn’t scream confidence in the show.
