Glad for Network 10, They desperately needed a boost. Bet they are now thankful they have the matildas right after the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup
Matilda’s
You can see the ratings momentum building again for the girls, particularly after a big win against the Phillipines last Saturday night. I’d imagine if they had another game this Saturday night you’d start to see 800k-1m in an earlier slot increasing on last week, it was big water-cooler talk at work today. A lot of people stayed up and watched the match.
Seven have 6 months of AFL in between the main reason they win yearly rating.
2024: The year that 9 has 6 months of MAFS and 6 months of The Block.
Yeah nah. Two for MAFS, three for Block.
I was just saying what I think they wish they had. Most fillers are failures, probably besides Lego.
Given The Block has run 52 long, long episodes this year they could easily make it a year round weekly show. Once a week as part of a bigger schedule it would offer a show a lot of people like on a consistent basis whilst also allowing time slots to be available each week for other content. Its consistent omnipresence would also result in the need for less promotion as everyone would know exactly when it was on.
I would never watch it but a consistent program that is on all year round should be a ratings success.
‘The Horror, The Horror…’
Pity for 10 it aired late.
