There appears to be continued problems with Seven’s playout system. Before the final chase on The Chase Australia, the 6pm news headlines in Sydney were those from Queensland. I don’t understand how this keeps happening.
The NCIS rpt beat Miss Scarlet And The Duke. So much for the female alternative to football.
Those ratings for Miss Scarlett actually look good, will be one of Seven’s highest rating multi-channel programs for the week (both of them).
I enjoyed Miss Scarlett and The Duke…did drop off 2nd ep…but not sure if because viewers did not care for it…of just needed to go to bed?
I had to watch again on 7plus because of a number of interruptions……
I will watch there next week….I stayed on 7TWO all night….usually stay on 10 Masterchef nights.
If Seven won with the no AFL it will only be by a bigger margin from next Thursday onward on the days AFL is on
With those dismal ratings for the NRL, you would have to ask if it is worth all the money Nine is paying for the rights.
At least Seven have time to find a main channel alternative for the NRL states before next Wednesday – a show/cast that only appeals to the AFL heartland?
