With this ‘un-edited’ version Cynic’s release from 10 was saying will be on 10 Play, I wonder if it’s referring to classification (that the broadcast may be edited for suitability)? Or like a non-abridged version with the entire product, extras, no ads etc?
It’s set to air after a 90 minute episode of the failed Changing Rooms, on a night where their audience at that time is very scarce, with likely very little or next to no promotion and people will probably be expecting to watch Graham Norton.
Need I say any more?

Precisely where they need ratings.

This article is a good examination of one of 10’s biggest issues:

What I’ve been saying for years, 10 does it better but nobody watches.

I generally watch Ten and ABC more than 7 and 9 and have done for ages. I watched the movie Hidden Figures on 7two the other night which went for 3hrs and I reckon that’s the longest I’ve stayed tuned to a 7 channel for years.

You mean DWTS Ep3

Aside from obvious habitual factors, the thing not mentioned in that article is that both Seven & Nine are hugely advantaged by having considerably stronger news/current affairs & sports departments (and therefore, stronger incentives for viewers to stay tuned to the network for extended periods of time) than Ten.

That is so true. Seven’s 6 - 7pm hour is highly successful, and is not going to change for a while. Anything Ten airs in that slot, will sadly disappoint in the tv ratings. Particularly on the Weekends.
Why 9.30pm for Neverland Part 2? What’s so good that’ll be airing at 8.30pm?
Probably One Born Every Minute.
So why TBA it now? Don’t they want people to know?
Not like Seven or Nine will do anything different.
Its more like Ambulance Australia, as One Born Every Minute has been put on hold for the moment.
Ambulance Australia will be on Tuesdays. Do you mean Ambulance UK?
It’s probably an encore of the same episode from Tuesday…

According to TV Week it had been Bull.
I think Ten should have scheduled the DWTS encore that aired late last night much earlier on Saturday; perhaps even taken a risk with 6pm.
I find most of these analyses pretty one dimensional. While much of what is said in this particular one is correct, how can you write an article about a modern TV network without mentioning even once the word “demographics”? And, it seems to be a pretty common omission. For example, I saw criticism somewhere regarding Thursday’s ratings commenting that Ten’s main channel was beaten by ABC’s; yet 10 was (easily) the number one channel in the key advertising demos and had triple the audience of ABC. Worth a mention I would have thought.

But difficult when those numbers aren’t provided for discussion by OzTAM.
