  1. Can someone please explain to me how The Project continues to be on air – what, 6 nights a week – with those figures ?
    They are basically diabolical numbers , and heaven knows why the presenters give the impression that they so cool and clever and well, killing it.

    1. I can try….. For instance, it was their top rating show on Wednesday, in Total People, so why would you axe that? Look, numbers have definitely dropped in recent months, but so has the lead in, 10 News First. The show still works with its demos and 10 loves the ‘talkability’ it gets on social or press -although that doesn’t directly pay the bills. Carrie’s departure is really an opportunity to refresh the show beyond her replacement: format, tone, presenters, slot etc should all be up for discussion by 10. It’s the only way to get viewers to revisit. Whether they do or not is another question.
