Seven really fall in to a heap without AFL at the tail end of each week. Britain’s Got Talent belongs on a multichannel, they’d be better of running repeats of All Saints, Blue Heelers or the Chase. Or dare I say reinvent the wheel with some Celebrity Wheel of Fortune specials like they do in the US.
BGT screens in different slots in different cities with Front Bar, so you need to take into consideration. Seven was #1 and #2 in the slot given this.
If Seven had licencing/rights in place to re-run the aforementioned (especially All Saints as unless I’m mistaken they own IP unlike Heelers with Banijay (via Endemol Shine > Endemol > Southern Star originally). They did acquire digital (via 7Plus) years ago now and has been very successful (especially Heelers – as is often featured centre in promotions and former chief Clive Dickens – also spearheaded their tennis live streaming but now at Optus shared insight one day), but broadcast must’ve been extra and not financially viable or not offered.
Maybe Nine will came out on top again next Wednesday because the State of Origin starts and “the Cane Toads” up here are already all over it. As a diehard fan it’s 5 stars from me.
Hi David, just curious why Studio 10 doesn’t feature in your mid-morning show figures on a Friday anymore?
It used to be head to head but now is 10-12pm. Frankly the figures are also so low they fall off numbers I can see.
Just being used as a cash cow for advertorials
agreed. Ratings as low as that, you’d wonder why bother. But rather then axe it, Ten needs the revenue from all available sources.
Surely at some point that logic runs out though? Who’s wanting to pay for advetorials on a show nobody is watching?
There is revenue from social platforms too.
