And Seven still running their fake Qantas, “small device” promo for last night’s Air Crash Investigation. Again, it wasn’t a Qantas plane, it was Air Illinois. It crashed due to pilot error (in switching off the wrong power generator).
Very poor figures for Vigil, a brilliant show in my opinion.
Yes but due to already screening on Stan, plus viewers watch these at SBS on Demand. It blew up in Total TV last week.
Still being very heavily promoted on SBS, something they don’t usually do once a program’s well and truly started. On the other hand, ‘Outlander’ started last Saturday night after 11.00pm with utterly no promotion-when I saw it was in the lineup, I thought it must be a repeat of an earlier season for such a dead timeslot. SBS has had little success with the various drama series that are currently showing.
Looking at the very impressive numbers Fox got for both the AFL and NRL last night, it proves that commercial free during play and 4K clarity are what people want. I would suggest that if all the people that watched the games on FTA had the ability to watch it on Fox / Kayo, the commercial filled FTA telecast numbers would be missing a 0 at the end of it…
NRL games that screen on Nine (excluding Saturday night) aren’t available in 4k on Foxtel. But commercial free during play is definitely a plus.
If one has the cash to be splashing around in the current environment…
Did Ten leave the Ad-break software on a default setting for the Guy Montgomery special or was it a deliberate choice to (more than once) drop ads in the middle of a bit?
How are Hot Seat ratings counted, given that it is shown at 3pm in Perth as Nine does an extra hour of news from 5-6?
A total number regardless of slot, see OzTAM rankings.
