The episode of Bluey which got 193,000 and made the top 20 was the repeat from an earlier season, which was shown right after the first-run episode in the morning. The evening screening of the new episode got 140,000.
Unfortunately Seven News in Brisbane last night was old news….Tupperware was not riveting stuff on “flashback” but it was the same footage and story they had on Thursday night only with Max Futcher adding more useless information to fill in a few extra minutes before the weather report. This viewer is not fooled with their “extraordinary exclusive” news items nor am I fooled with Kay McGrath doing “news” items for the older viewers disguised as info commercials. It an insult to the viewer in my opinion.
A very competitive night for the big 4 networks, with all doing reasonably well for their main 7pm or 7:30pm offering. 60 Minutes, on the other hand, had a very low figure. Thats concerning with Seven’s Spotlight returning to the schedule soon.
Surely Seven won’t schedule anymore Code 1. It has been a disaster.
In Our Blood ABC’s biggest flop of the year so far.
Yes, minute by minute lost over 400,000 viewers from Farmer and yet 60 minutes lost less than 200,000 from Lego Masters in the same transition.
As with In Our Blood, perhaps a niche audience and some were may not have been interested, or they binged it all on iView.
even the catch up ratings were low by ABC standards. It’s another Barons
Am so much avoiding these regurgited old news shows. Many don’t want to be constantly reminded of the Claremont Murders, Bali bombings, Ivan Milat, etc., but guess it’s a cheap hour or so considering most is already in the cans. 198,000 is much more than it deserved.
I thought In Our Blood was excellent. I binged it all in the first two days it was out. I suspect many others did which would impact ratings.
