Origin is in a whole different league, because these high ratings never translate back to NRL or NRLW.

Re Taskmaster: I think you need to take demo results into account. In 25-54 last week’s episode ranked 35th for the week. That put it ahead of many shows that I think people would call successful such as:

SUNDAY AFTERNOON NRL
GRUEN
THE FRONT BAR
THE WEEKLY WITH CHARLIE PICKERING
INSIDERS
7.30-EV
ABC NEWS-EV
THE CHASE AUSTRALIA
WEEKEND SUNRISE – SUN and SAT
THE AMERICAS
SUNRISE
DOC
TODAY
AUSTRALIAN STORY
BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

Arguable whether that good enough for a 7.30 Thursday show on 10?

This week’s final rated higher and was 10th for the night so interesting to see where it ranks for the week.

Are the 5 city totals for 7 news and 9 news around the wrong way? Or perhaps Sydney’s?

Thanks. Sydney was the wrong way - now fixed.

One major difference is that the NRLW Origin was exclusive to Nine, whilst the AFL audience was split between 7 and Fox (and viewers are leaving 7 for Fox year-on-year).

Regular season NRL games are still on 9Gem, unless the Storm is playing.

7 does the same for AFL in the northern states. Lions, GC, Suns and GWS are the only games on the main channel. Both codes air them on the main channel to promote the code in their states.

It’s absolutely a good demo fit for 10, and the tone is definitely in the space 10 should and want to be in - but the total audience has always been a bit average.

Maybe it’s cheap enough to keep pumping seasons out, and does well in catch up over an extended period + on Paramount+ to justify it.

I just think it’s telling they moved it to a 8:30 slot this year, and only brought it forward due to The List tanking.

Will always err on the side with networks playing out multiple seasons of a show like this a year, easy to overdo something or it’s just straight up lazy.

7NEWS SYDNEY - worrying figures! Time for a reboot.

Sydney and Brisbane both need a shake up, those figures are dire. But what exactly needs shaking up is still unclear to me. Over the past 18 months, both bulletins have undergone presenter changes, flashy new sets and presentation, new advertising campaigns, reporter changes, and a revolving door of state and national news directors.

Does any one think those presenter changes were good or made sense? None of the promos I’ve seen were good or local.
