  2. Where. oh Where is The Good Doctor, S5, Channel 7? Still no sign of it for the first week of summer, non ratings. I guess this show doesn’t rate it’s pants off anymore, that they save up all the aired us episodes for the silly season.

  3. We get this ten week break every year of course and each year a proportion of the free-to-air audience drifts away and is never seen again. Despite mild weather across much of the country we now have the nightly news broadcasts dipping into the 700,000 range on some days very like the school holiday period and we may see Seven and Nine dip into the 600,000s for their nightly news services for what I think may be the first time.
    The other offerings over Summer if the first week menu is anything to go by are going to be poor indeed. Continuing the triple repeats of Bull, Australian Story repeats, Border Security repeats, Bondi Rescue repeats, etc. I suppose one notable change is a greater reliance on movies in prime time (mostly repeats of course) which used to serve the networks pretty well in the 1990s but seems amongst the lazy and cheap options.
    The economic realities of advertising revenue reductions are not ignorable but this is a depressing schedule indeed.

    1. I agree, I have never understood the tv execs thinking that people switch off for 10 weeks and then expect viewers to suddenly come back to watch over long ‘reality’ shows 3-4 nights a week and then wonder why figures are dropping year on year. I am 63 and the only shows I watch are 6-6.30 news and the first 30 mins of the project, then off to other means of watching shows that fta will be way behind on or not show at all. My children who are in their mid to late twenties do not watch fta ever. I mean even before’non ratings’ , big brother vip, really
