I think you have your days mixed up. Seven won Friday thanks to BEtter Homes and Nine’s decision to run Muriel’s Wedding less than 7 weeks after it aired on Ten.
And it’s armchair “experts” that turn me off bothering about ratings or who wins what week. If people enjoy a show on what ever channel or for what ever reason they are going to watch it anyway regardless of ratings. There was a time where none of this even existed it was simplicity. It’s for the enjoyment TV brings to our house after all that’s why we have it…..simple! …David does a great job of informing by the way.
You have missed the point, totally, Cats PJ. This article is about ratings and winners and losers.
No I have not missed the point, I’ve watched TV evolve from the day it was switched on in the early 50s and it has become “all about” winners and losers, demographics, ageism demographics, one channel pitting itself against the other to win ratings. There was none of this dissecting, ratings, graphs, pi ratios, post mortems etc etc about shows that has made TV so complicated like the is now, as I said it was “simple TV made for enjoyment and entertainment”. Arguably this has come about because of FTA advertising, sponsorship etc, its commercialism at its best in my view.
Where you say “there was none” .. there has long been ratings battles / results, total people and demos and plenty of press about the results, but fair to say it has evolved. I don’t agree made just for enjoyment. Nine charged 4 pounds for a one-camera ad in 1958, in order to sell advertising, 5 pounds for 2 cameras for example. AGB McNair ran ratings until 1991 with diaries, then Nielsen until 2001 when people meters came via OzTAM. It’s just a more complex version than what previously operated across 5 Free to Airs and technological change.
