I haven’t tracked the show’s performance very closely. It seems to do fine in the total people ratings. However, Nine and 10 usually run encores of their reality franchises against it and they easily out-rate it in the key demos.
In 25-54 the reality encores might manage double the audience (which isn’t that large to start with) and I imagine that encores don’t cost a lot to broadcast compared to a studio-based live show. When you get around to 16-39, the show will rate zero in some markets. So I suppose, it’s likely, given the options, that Seven might have been struggling to get enough advertisers across its suite of shows with advetorials.
Can understand why Sally was let go (even though she’s a good presenter) because TDS was her only role but surprised Ryan is leaving Seven too considering the number of roles he had
A shame to see Ryan and Sally go, both great talents on-air.
Probably the wrong thread to be discussing in, but since Ryan is leaving the network, are there any fill-ins on The Morning Show for Larry now? He has pretty much been the only male fill-in for a while now.
That’s one choice, another would be re-running reality TV eps from the previous night like Nine and Ten do.
If Seven still have the rights to City Homicide, Packed to the Rafters etc. they could also replay old eps in the soon-to-be-vacated timeslot. I was also thinking All Saints and/or Blue Heelers, but it’s been well over a decade since both of those shows were axed.
I expect we will see her present news updates. Or they may not bother with an extra presenter leaving Kylie and Larry to do them since they have shown during this crisis they are very capable.
Yes, I suspect The Daily Edition gets (well, got as of next week) most of its audience from retirement homes and in the waiting rooms of doctors surgeries.
Because they are cost cutting. Sally and Ryan (along with Jim) would be on a high income. Cheaper to get someone younger on less pay from the newsroom to do it. Or increase someones work load.
Like I said the other day, presenters like Ann Sanders and Mel Doyle may not see their contracts renewed.
