I think maybe 900 thousand at tops.

Over two channels… I’m going for 1.2 million.
I expect 900,000+ on Network 10/200,000+ on 10 Peach, equaling the viewership to 1.1m metro viewers.
Who knows, it could be more to that. But we definitely know the finale will be around the million viewer mark.
That would be amazing but I have my doubts it could do that. I think Ten would be stoked with half that audience. Even a third would probably be more than some shows they have had in prime time.

Don’t usually do predictions. But I’ll hazard a guess at 600k.
3 months ago I would’ve said 300k, but the show has received blanket promotions this week on rival networks and on multiple Radio shows covering it in their own way.

I am expecting there to be just one entry in the ratings - not separate coding for 10 and 10 Peach as that is the practice adopted by OzTAM (for all networks except ABC) . So all the audience watching (in SD) on 10 PEach will be allocated to 10’s main channel leaving 10 Peach with a low share.

Sorry I should have clarified. Total TV 1.6. 
Seeing there are two episodes tonight, the penultimate 30 minute episode followed by the 1 hour finale, do you think they’ll be coded separately?
A spokeswoman for McLachlan said: "Henry’s dead mother is being reincarnated for the final episode — but cancel culture won’t allow her son Henry to appear or even be acknowledged.
"What Craig and his partner have endured over the past four-and-a-half years — only to come out the other side and be confronted by, among other things, the attempted permanent erasing of his part in Neighbours history — is devastating.
“Craig was not invited to take part in the closing episode or indeed to contribute in any way to the end of Neighbours.”
Nice of him to make the final about himself….
I know some of the songs released by Neighbours cast over the years were pretty average, but perhaps Rage could’ve jumped on the bandwagon and dedicated a show to these songs.
A bit of a social media blitz over the last few days will probably create some more interest as well.

Awesome listen with Jan Russ (As casting director) and her time or king with the show until 2013

A comment from one of the Neighbours pages on FB:
‘Toadie on Studio 10 just said to make sure we watch until the very end of the credits on the final episode, as apparently there is a very special shot at the end’.

Why friends to replace neighbours so predictable channel 10 now that neighbours is finishing tonight will these American sitcoms rate well enough in prime time without neighbours to help will 10 peach survive
The US sitcoms have in the past rated higher than Neighbours including in the key demos to which the channel is aimed.
Victoria Police are even paying tribute, although they’re looking forward to an improvement in crime stats now there’ll be significantly less drama on the streets of suburban Melbourne.

I wonder how long all the episodes will remain on paramount plus. When the deal “expires”. I still have this weeks eps to catch-up on and Paramount is the only service that has them in full HD
