Week five got off to great start for Nine with another big win, 10 points clear of second-placed Seven with Nine’s main channel alone outrating all networks. ABC landed third with its best Sunday for three weeks while 10 had its best Sunday result since the debut of The Masked Singer last August. Nine’s success featured the first Sunday episode of this season’s Married At First Sight on 834,000, its highest result since last weeks launch. The return of 60 Minutes also did well to top 600k viewers for an easy timeslot win while Late News delivered good late night numbers. Lucky for Seven its news brand continues to attract the biggest audiences, with the number one show of the Sunday night. Australian Idol’s first Sunday, drew the equal highest audience of the season but was pushed into third place in the reality formats. The debut of UK medical drama Maternal failed to impress on just 186,000. For ABC, News was second at 7pm. Two repeats followed with Joanna Lumley’s Unseen Adventures and Vera delivering good results. Australian Survivor was 10’s best performer, just ahead of Idol to be second of the reality formats with top 5 rankings in the key demo groups. A couple of rare entries for 10 in the top 20 included 10 News at 6pm and The Project at 6.30pm. ---

A force to be reckoned with. Nine’s lineup smashed everything. Seven’s just lucky their news is still a top performer. ---

Maternal made it into the top 20 but came a distant third to 60 Minutes and Vera. ---

They’re not claiming it’s live. They are saying “watch it live” as in live at 7:30pm and not recorded later or on 7plus. ---

It’s still a ridiculous statement for them to be making. You don’t see MAFS or Survivor going “Watch it live at 7/7.30”. ---

I see what they are getting at (drive real time/linear watching and social conversation) but I think the terminology is wrong. Maybe something like “Watch it with Australia at 7:30 or anytime on 7+” (ignoring timezones and the fact it’s also 3rd in its slot). ---

A crush by Nine and as Married builds towards its usual Sunday 1m metro, things will only get worse for others, save for ABC’s dramas and 10 doing pretty good with Survivor. Looking like Idol is DOA and outside Sundays with that big 7pm Seven News lead-in (we already saw it drop that low last week) could see it collapse to 300k consistently or lower. Seven abruptly bumped _Ultimate Tag_ which got down to high-200k IIRC. It’ll be a bit of pain before the AFL, which probably won’t be a complete saviour either, until one of Seven’s more proven raters returns. Meanwhile, 7Bravo (still early days yes) not looking good at all, also possibly to blame for taking away simialrly targetted 7flix also struggling more than usual. Sundays against big reality are always tough for m/c though, as seen by Nine’s also and across the board (but 9Life and even 9Rush comparatively look solid at least). ---

And to totally confuse the situation the promos that say watch it live now also instruct viewers to stream from the start - ie watch the shows that they missed when they didn’t follow the instruction to watch live. > [@Australian Idol](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/australian-idol/15803/648): > > “Watch Live” and “Stream from the start” ---

You gotta hand it to Channel Nine - to be able to attract over 800,000 viewers every night for a non sports show four nights a week is outstanding. Meanwhile the 6.30 Project can only attract 31,000 viewers in Sydney? Ouch!! ---

Sunday was Idol’s big chance to boost its ratings. 7pm start with a 860k lead in and up against just one reality show at that time. Peak audience shows that +800k were watching the start of the show but clearly there was a major switch off or channel change. It was possibly the weakest episode so far last night as well, with a very slow start - stuffing around with a koala. ---

> [@scott](#): > > You gotta hand it to Channel Nine - to be able to attract over 800,000 viewers every night for a non sports show four nights a week is outstanding. Except that’s a lie. They didn’t. They were only over 800,000 for the debut episode last week on Monday and now this week on Sunday. Every other day was below that mark. ---

> [@parano1a](#): > > Seven’s promos proclaiming “watch it live” when it was pre-recorded months ago was insulting. > Viewers aren’t stupid. Are you suggesting that people are switching off Idol because the auditions are not live? I really don’t think so. A lot has been written about Australian Idol in the past week and most critics suggest it’s because it just looks like an outdated concept. Maybe reboots work in America or Britain but they don’t often work in Australia. It has a lot to do with Australian television networks being greedy and producing bloated reality shows with extra long episodes and extra long series. The audience gets sick of them and then can’t be bothered investing huge amounts of time in them again. ---

7 would be happy to see a small increase for Idol and the direct News lead-in would have helped. I reckon it would be peak higher if the episodes weren’t so long. Last night’s episode went for almost 2 hours. You can only sit through auditions for so long - I find in the last 30 minutes my attention drifts off.
