Are the commonwealth games counted in the ratings
1 Like
I’m 99% sure that OzTam will continue to collect ratings data during the Commonwealth Games.
Whether or not the networks other than Seven will choose to air “ratings season programing” during that time might be another story though!

If Seven were to show House Rules after the Commonwealth Games you would expect the promos to start now. Perhaps the promos will air during Thursday’s AFL season opener?
Also puzzled as to why next Tuesday 8:30 is TBA when they have ONE episode of Good Doctor season 1 left that airs in the US the day prior. Surely they’re not going to make fans wait till after the Commonwealth Games to see the season final.

Only 99%? The ratings are 365 days per year, 366 in leap years. 
This artificial two week gap over Easter is silly, as the advertising agencies and advertisers still get the ratings. Seven should program to win every day and every week.

Ratings season content…
Easter non-ratings period (hence Spartan is back).

The artificial non-ratings period is even more ridiculous yet all the FTA networks ‘lay down their arms’ programming-wise during that period
I’ve been saying it every year but all the non-ratings periods need to end.
The networks and subscription services program new product during these periods now so it makes no sense to keep up this relic from the past.

From what I have seen, there are a few alterations to this schedule in certain states. The above schedule is only for Melbourne. The number of H&A episodes vary from state to state since Melbourne & Adelaide don’t see it this Thursday and Adelaide won’t next Thursday either due to AFL so they will be made up for on this night. The other schedules seem to be as follows:
Sydney, Brisbane, Perth
07:30 PM Border Security: America’s Front Line
08:30 PM TBA
11:00 PM Grey’s Anatomy S14 Ep13
Adelaide
07:00 PM Home And Away x 3
08:30 PM TBA
11:00 PM Grey’s Anatomy S14 Ep13
Their goal is to win the year. They don’t need to win every week or every day to achieve that

As ryan1890 pointed out above, there is one episode of The Good Doctor left (the season 1 finale). It should have swapped with the movie with the latter on Tuesday April 3, the night before the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.

Are we gonna see Season 5 of The Goldbergs sometime Around April?
Your guess is as good as anyone’s.
The decision to hold one episode of Good Doctor (the season final) is ridiculous. Networks seriously wonder why people can’t be bothered joining them for US dramas when they make scheduling decisions like this. This show has aired Tuesdays, Thursdays, then Tuesdays again despite us being told Secret Daughter would air there, then on a Monday, then on Tuesdays again and now god knows where. They are fools.
