The ARIA Awards ended up finishing 30 minutes late at 11pm. Was able to watch the last two hours after work. Happy for Troye Sivan, G Flip and Missy Higgins for their wins and speeches.
Then watched 9’s Late News before catching the season final of H&A. The last few years its been something will happen but hasn’t yet so it was nice for something to have happened for a change. Kinda glad for the break as Cash was getting on my nerves.
Are Nine contractually obliged to air the ARIA Awards on their main channel? Because with a figure like last night’s (and poor ratings generally for many years, not helped by the event being held mid-week), I seriously think they’re 9Go! fodder at best.
I mean, seriously. Surely even a movie would’ve scored more than 243k viewers last night? It’s sad because the ARIAs do showcase and celebrate Australian talent but if these awards were relegated to online streaming only, I doubt they’d be missed by all that many of terrestrial TV’s remaining viewers.
It’s a wider Nine property, Live on Stan, delayed on Nine.
