I would think the Adelaide and Perth results claw back the leads into 6:00 pm

Even though 10s shares are awful either way, it’s not often it’s demo’s score less than Total people share. They really have alienated their demos.

16-39 is now far below its total % some nights

Big Brother at 7pm is the answer.

Millionaire skews old, and that audience is watching ACA or ABC News at 7pm.

David Attenborough followed by Graham Norton sounds more like an ABC schedule. Earlier in the week, Celebrity did the heavy lifting with the demos and even beat Seven on one or two occasions.

ACA rates 4x higher than Hot Seat. What an absolute bomb. They’ve filmed the whole year’s worth of episodes. What are they going to do?

The Project was making at least 450k in that timeslot. What a disaster.

Hot Seat was the highest rating show in primetime for 10 last night. It’s a big success :slight_smile:

The Project averaged below 300,000 for this week last year. Average for Millionaire this week so far is 292,000. Of course The Project probably rated better at 7pm and its average across an hour was dragged down by the 6.30pm segment.

The much bigger problem is the lead in from 10 News+ and DOND. That is where the attention should be. 10 News+ must go!!

Last night

2026
10 News 314,000
10 News+ 140,000

10 News 352,000
DOND 251,000

Agree. Or swap it around when it’s not up against local news?

6.00 Deal or No Deal

6.30 Hot Seat

7.00 10 News +

This would be ratings suicide. 7pm needs to be strong in 16-39 to lead-in to reality. I’d start reality at 7pm (Big Brother Daily Show) and shunt 10 News+ to 10.30pm or get rid of it altogether.

I think long term it would be bad, however it hasn’t hurt I’m a celeb on Sundays, it also hasn’t helped. It’s clear people just avoid it
