If it rates fairly poorly (sub-600k), it impact’s Seven’s share negatively.
However, as has actually happened more often than not in recent years, if it rates over 600k, even closer to 700k, that seens to impact positively on Seven’s share.
As 90min on a Thursday is big if a program rates. So probably a no from me, based off the average ratings of the triple episodes of Home and Away. Put it this way, Seven have never changed that strategy long term, so must be fine with it.
If Melbourne schedulers didn’t have to comply with the network on H&A, it’d be bumped to 7Two by the end of the year. It’s common knowledge now that they’re agitating to move it on and get something fresh in.
If H&A is moved to 7TWO it will go the way of Neighbours. From 700k down to 150k. Seven would be mad to copy what Ten did to Neighbours.
I think “TheMoreYouKnow” is getting at how The Project regularly beats Home and Away in Melbourne?
Ray Meagher (Alf) was on TMS and was asked about whether he would return to H&A after his stint on stage in Priscilla and he made vague comments that made me think it may be heading towards its end. He talked about “commercial” viability.
And I’m convinced it’s the reason 9 beats 7 in the second half of the news in Brisbane…the “switch over early” factor…
Depends how much money the overseas sales bring in.
Coming Soon
Lena and Martin were once madly in love. But, like many marriages, time and circumstance eventually took their toll. Lena, the perfectionist, fell into the role of caretaker for everyone, including Martin. Martin felt he could never do anything right and gave up making the effort. This created a romantic rift between them. Finding themselves in a platonic marriage and acting more like a pair of camp counselors wrangling their kids than a couple hopelessly in love, they decide that everyone’s lives would be better served if they got a divorce. Still wanting the best for their three kids and facing a daunting real estate market, the couple decide not to sell their house and to “Bird Nest” instead. One parent will live in the house as the “on-duty” parent taking care of the kids, while the “off-duty” parent will live in the detached garage, doing whatever he or she pleases. They will switch off every other week. As Lena begins to dip her toes into the dating waters, Martin begins to see his own culpability in his marriage falling apart. When Martin realizes that it all began when he refused to dance with Lena at their wedding, he wants to atone for it. He secretly takes dance lessons to surprise Lena by dancing with her on what would be their upcoming wedding anniversary. Could being apart ultimately lead to them getting back together?
Paired with Modern Family maybe?
Still no word on Australian broadcasters for 9-1-1 and Station 19? Surprised no one has snapped 9-1-1. It did really well in the states.
Schedule Updates:
Friday 1 June TBAs = Interview
Saturday 2 June TBAs = House Rules.
Splitting Up Together is based on a Danish dramedy and was renewed by ABC America for a second season two weeks ago. Each episode is 22 minutes so it will probably be paired with Modern Family. Season 1 had eight episodes.
Seven have Gordon Ramsay programs this week late night on main channel, coincidental or smart? RE: His MasterChef week.

I would say it is more a bad case of no imagination or ideas to present anything new.
Or it could end up on 7Flix at 11pm at night 
Hasn’t Hell’s Kitchen et al been airing for some weeks now?
So petty!
My above comment?
Think he was referring to Seven airing Ramsay shows. Ta.
Okay, just wanted to check. He is a popular figure …
