And they look like it too.

Some stools or cub chairs would be much better when using that studio.

The opening titles for ACA have been updated tonight to match Australia’s graphics. Some things haven’t changed such as the lower thirds.

What have the ratings been like for the programme?

Same as ACA Australia’s new graphics.

I’m guessing it is behind the other 7pm offerings on TVNZ 1 and Three (Country Calendar and MAFS Australia respectively), but we won’t exactly know because ratings figures aren’t publicly available except for the odd newspaper or web article or NZ On Air funded productions.

I’ve heard the ratings for ACA are bloody awful… but yeah no actual figures

It’s going to be moved to 9.30 Thursdays from next month due to its dire ratings as mentioned above.

Oh wow, how did TVNZ not foresee this. Trashy consumer affairs stories lifted from Australia with tops and tails done by an NZ host at 7pm on Sunday :joy: :joy:

TVNZ 2 had a shocking night, with its network movie premiere of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets averaging only 1.7% off the back of A Current Affair’s 1.7%; in the channel’s 18-54 core demo, the averages were 1.4% and 1.1% respectively.

I’ve been noticing I’ve been watching The AM Show more and more. Breakfast is becoming boring but if you asked I wouldn’t know how to explain. Just not my cup of tea anymore.

Yeah maybe it’s not that Breakfast is doing anything different but AM Show has improved, Richardson & Garner have really toned down their ‘who can say the dumbest shit’ game and it’s a much easier watch lately.

@Leotv According to TVNZ’s ratecards, A Current Affair is scheduled at 9pm on Thursdays (straight after Renters) from next month.

Yup spot on, thought it would be 9.30. Interesting to see if it works on a Thursday.

I’ve been feeling the same thing. Yesterday, pretty much all of its stories were related to the housing announcement the previous day. I know it’s big news for NZ but to devote most, if not all your show to it?

It just feels a little out of step with the issues people actually are intrigued by. Falling into the trap that Campbell Live sometimes did of hammering an issue too hard and turning others off.
