Chris · October 9, 2024, 3:12am

I’m surprised how well MKR is doing this season. The significantly shorter season format now seems to be working so hopefully it stays that way.

Taskmaster isn’t really cutting it on Ten at 7.30pm Tuesday’s. It is definitely more suited to Thursday’s or a later timeslot (8.30pm) IMO. I’m not a huge fan of the show but I’ve watched it occasionally and I find the mix of comedians this season not as funny or exciting as the previous season.

Also, solid ratings for The 1% Club UK on Wednesday nights means Seven doesn’t need to show three episodes of MKR each week as in previous seasons.

Good to see some different figures here.

Is the neighbors just the 4pm airing or do they wrap in the 10 Peach encore at 6:30pm as an average?

Great to see some extra info in the ratings.

A battle between the game shows for Seven and Nine happening in the arvo. And good to see what Neighbours is getting on both 10 and later on 10Peach.

The Late News on Nine and 10 are interesting. As to The Project Encore (aka repeat). Having nothing on Seven (with no The Latest) meant that Made in Bondi suffered.

TV.Cynic · October 9, 2024, 6:27am

Regarding 10’s new afternoon line-up there have been a couple of days when 10’s share has gone up but mostly not a lot of change. There does seem, however, to be a slight increase in the audience for Neighbours as seen above so perhaps a better lead in.

There were some numbers from Tuesday (Total TV))

I’m finding the afternoon highly watchable these days with those stupid dr Phil’s and judge Judy not airing there anymore. Lingo is highly addictive. Wheel of Fortune is a good quick watch. The news bulletins have improved in quality. There’s decent flow between the different programming.

TV.Cynic · October 9, 2024, 6:54am

Having the reality encore in the morning is also much more competitive (depending on the show of course) than anything 10 has had there for a while (yesterday was 92,000)

Nicholas · October 9, 2024, 7:28am

Very interesting to see the Afternoon bulletin rating higher than Lunchtime, although I guess it’s not surprising given the time of day.

Great insight.

Nicholas · October 9, 2024, 7:28am

How does that number compare to the morning shows on Seven and Nine?

BrekkyTVFan · October 9, 2024, 7:30am

If I recall the same thing happened when Ten moved their reality encore to 11am after Studio 10 once Wake Up/the Morning News were axed in mid-2014. The encore was competitive with Seven and Nine’s Morning News.
