I’d be really interested to know total numbers for “The Cheap Seats” and HYBPA across their three (or so) airings and SVOD. Is that sort of data easy to obtain?
Total TV is applied to one broadcast. So it would be 2 or 3 x Total TV numbers.
Thanks David!
Both programs are really poor and visibly so, to the point where that should have been picked up at the commissioning stage. Surely there are both better ideas out there and more varied means of production. All these competition style shows look the same with the same editing style and forms of presentation. With so many creative options available is it really necessary for all of the shows to look the same? Clearly the broad audience is picking up on this as these ratings attest.
Here’s my 2 bob. I keep hearing that Australians aren’t watching new content, so I turned on to FTA last night for the first time since the Ashes finished on Saturday. I watched a bit of Rush, and a bit of Million Dollar Island. These are not new shows to be supported, these are blatant rehashed ideas with the same pretend drama. I was back to streaming in 15 minutes. Rush in particular is a mish mash of ideas and tone, just a real struggle to watch, so needlessly convoluted. They’re actually getting the audience they deserve and I feel it shows a real lack of actual ideas when it comes to commissioning. Even the reboot of Mother and Son looks awful as well, so it’s not just reality. Give us something new and exciting, please!
