How to win a ratings week in 1 night!
West Coast vs Collingwood will be huge on Saturday night.
The sustained low ratings for Studio 10 continue. They did a good job in ridding themselves of 25-30% of their viewers with the unpopular recent format change.
Lets hope 10 take on viewer feedback. If not, The Talk and more US shows will be promptly back on 10 in the mornings.
Really feel sorry for Sarah Harris. She is a great talent and is very loyal to 10 considering how Studio 10 has been destroyed over recent years. It is currently a 4 hour show full of very ordinary content. Sarah is doing the heavy lifting currently which must very hard going for 4 hours every morning.
Like: OzTVheritage. I do think it is getting better as everyone settles in though. I’ve enjoyed the pub trips for example.
Shows FTA is not dead provided they present content that viewers want.
Well, some viewers. 53,000 for AFL in NSW.
True, but I’d still say they would be happy with that number given neither NSW team is in the finals this season.
Bring on the AFL finals! Nice to see QLD/NSW numbers higher too. I suspect tonight with a QLD team playing, we may crack triple digits for them? Who knows…
