ABC Breakfast program seems to losing quite a few viewers….any idea why?
Everybody lost viewers yesterday morn, as the story indicates, a public holiday in 3 states.
thanks David
The sentence says “The public holiday also impacted on:” but doesn’t finish – that might be why they were unsure.
HYBPA Was hilarious last night!
I’m not sure if Ten made the right call by guttering their news as there isn’t much content people are prepared to watch on commercial tv other than news
Not necessarily. Aside from News, Sport Reality, there are still successes being made with Hard Quiz, Halifax, Gogglebox, HYBPA?, Anh’s Brush with Fame, in recent weeks to name a few.
Yes, although 10’s news shares aren’t going to be growing anytime soon, that’s for sure.
At this rate, I would bet that a return to a 6pm game show, such as Family Feud, would do much better than their 90 minute news block.
The audience has spoken on FF, but the 90 mins is more cost effective than two separate shows.
Must be some cheap adverting rates in some of Tens low rating times slots.
