They did not mention what this means though. Dear me, they don’t have to make this super confusing.

A drawback of OzTAM not requiring networks to disclose timebands of their programs.

The reason I asked was there were 4 programs: D14 overnight, D15 early, D15 overnight, D16 overnight.

A broadcast day is 2am-2am, therefore it cannot contain D14. 2am-10am would still be the continuation of D15.

And if I understood this correctly, the “early morning” comes before the “overnight”, which makes absolutely no sense at all.

23

Woeful for 10

24

It depends on the states watching

25

I had a feeling Sunday was going to be big after Wednesday’s drama… and there you go.

10 would have to be disappointed in the finale ratings for I’m a Celeb. There were episodes doing better a couple of weeks ago (And yes MAFS was competition then too). Viewers really just dropped off towards the end of this season.

26

Is Idol down year-on-year so far? seems to be?

27

After 7 eps this year average overnight is 849,000. After same eps last year 874,000 - last year got of to a +1 million start - this year was 904,000.
