Bumped: The Masked Singer USA
10 moves on painfully low ratings show.

As predicted, 10 has moved on The Masked Singer USA, pushing the show back to a 9:30pm start from next Wednesday night.
This means Bull will screen from 8:30pm, which is a better move given it is fast-tracked from the US.
Masked Singer may be family-friendly but at a paltry 125,000 this week it did not justify the slot, even against State of Origin.

So (fast tracked) season 5 of Bull airs at 8:30, followed by Masked Singer at 9:30, then (preciously unaired?) season 4 of Bull at 10:30. Is it crazy to a) have a 1 hour gap between episodes of Bull, and b) air season 5 before season 4 is finished?
The episodes of Bull are currently all repeats – the first run episodes of Season 4 finished about six weeks ago
Ten started running S4 of Bull on the 8th January and finished it up months ago. They have been running repeats of S3 then S4 at two episodes a week since.
There you go. Missed season 4 the first time around. My bad. Makes a lot more sense now.
The two issues I found were first, it was difficult to find each week as it kept changing nights and time. Though it did settle after a few weeks, by that point I just couldn’t be bothered with all the effort. Second, when a show like this, which relies on the mystery aspect, is shown over a week later after it airs in the US, its often spoilt by the time it’s shown here. Realistically it needed to be fast tracked.
Yes, it’d definitely have had more viewers if they returned it to Thursdays.
They’ed get less viewers because no one under 40 watches TV on Thursday nights anymore. That’s why they have put SVU and This Is US and SEAL Team on then.
I’d be more inclined to watch if it wasn’t hosted by an anti-sematic
It wasn’t ever going to do well, not in that late Wednesday slot after low-rating shows. Happy to see that Bull is back though!
That’s *never…also, I wish they moved the premiere back to Thursdays so that viewers have more of a reason to watch as they are less likely to have the unmasked contestants spoiled.
They should’ve just stuck to their guns and had the Shake Saturday episode as a premier and not an Encore and build up the channel.
Shake? Oh, yeah, that 5-capitals channel that can’t get over 0.5% – but I concur. That’s where it belongs,
Oh Jason, just last Thursday 10 Shake hit an astronomical 0.6%.
That’s a whopping 20% more viewers.
No one watches the new 13 and on a Saturday night, the test pattern would be a better bet.
ViacomCBS should have moved their new content to Peach instead of curating another new channel. Peach is already a barren wasteland comprised mostly of repeat after repeat of old sitcoms. Plus, our market isn’t big enough for yet another digital channel for an ever-shrinking audience.
A dedicated music channel would have made the most sense for a third digital channel, not Peach 2.0 (or rather, what Peach should be, as the current Shake line-up is similar to what ELEVEN used to be in its early days).
No, removing those shows is what has helped peach grown from 1.7% shares to 3%.
Admittedly that won’t last with the current line up but that’s for another day.
