That is horrible, how does 10 justify leaving 10 news+ as it’s lead in to its primetime line up once BB starts airing, it is too expensive of a show to just let wallow with low rated lead ins.
What a terrible week for Seven News Sydney. After two poor results, last night another third place behind ABC with the lowest Thursday rating of the year. That follows the lowest Tuesday result earlier in the week and just 1,000 viewers ahead of Seven News Brisbane that itself was 100,000 behind Nine. Nine Brisbane had the number one Nine bulletin in the country.
Seven News Melbourne has a win!
Low numbers for most of 10’s bulletins.
The Chase has its third consecutive win in Perth while Tipping Point wins overall by 100,000.
Today wins the east coast but not by enough to overcome Sunrise’s dominance elsewhere. Today Early in Brisbane outrated Sunrise.
Worth noting that the Seven Melbourne bulletin that hasn’t changed its anchor team is the east coast bulletin doing the best. Changes in Sydney and Brisbane not resonating with viewers.
I mean 7 was winning Melbourne News until 9 made the changes with their new team and also ditching Hot Seat. But I don’t changes to 7’s news will help given the Sydney & Brisbane changes have gone poorly
