I’m not sure why Outback Truckers is being hailed as some giant success. A show in repeat – years old- Hamish and Andy True Story, looks to have been more appealing to most viewers. If the truckers are getting such good truckin ratings on the multichannel why don’t Seven let em play with the big boys on main?
People often ask how Seven wins on a night where Nine leads in a bunch of shows, but they forget about multis. It was a first run episode and locally produced (outranking SBS), so I’m happy to share the spotlight rather than usual suspects. And if 10 seasons isn’t a success what is?
Outback Truckers appeals to the exact target demo of 7mate – why should it air on main channel. Surely shows can have success on multi’s as well. Probably about time the whole concept of what is main and multi should be reviewed, now that we all have pretty well equal access to all the channels.
A 5k increase on last Tuesday for Made In Bondi, however still appalling ratings by the kind of standards one reasonably expects for Seven’s main channel. Either way, from a content perspective I’m sure most will agree that MIB is likely to be a contender for (if not winner of) “Worst Australian Program” at the 2024 TV Tonight Awards…haha!
Since “Take 5 with Zan Rowe” was at a similar ratings level (just 7k less) to last Tuesday’s final “regular” episode of The Assembly, I wonder if that further proves the ABC would’ve been better off running the BTS special/season finale last night rather than post-Media Watch on Monday? Of course, under such scheduling they wouldn’t have had that programming synergy with Michael Theo’s Australian Story but them the breaks.
It seems to be a poor choice by Ten to move TA from Thursday to Tuesday nights. While I’m not entirely sure if the actual numbers watching are down, I’m reasonably sure that it used to win it’s timeslot on Thursday night.
