Another night of record low audiences on FTA. The three reality franchises all posted their lowest audiences ever with MasterChef suffering a 60k drop from Tuesday to rank just 15th overall. The Voice shed 110k viewers while Lego Master fared better only down 10k.

Worth noting that compared to the previous week, LEGO Masters rated lower than Travel Guides and MasterChef rated lower than The Dog House. Perhaps viewers are trending towards variety in reality programming instead of the more familiar stripped format.

In 25-54, LEGO was 1st, The Voice 6th, MasterChef 8th and First Dates 12th.

Seven won the day again. That was helped by another big win for Seven News at 6pm. Nine News Adelaide was forced to show the Melbourne bulletin after technical difficulties prevented the local bulletin from going to air. That saw its audience plumet to a 2022 low while Seven News surged.

ABC’s line up was also down with Hard Quiz losing 60k and the season final of Mad as Hell down 65k.

Later the new season of Britain’s Got Talent managed 317,000.

Over on Sky, the Leader’s Debate topped the STV rankings.

The Leaders Debate coverage on ABC News channel did quite well even though it was just a 15-minute recap (according to online guides).

MasterChef dropped to a new low and the first week is not over yet. First Dates was dragged down by the MC lead-in and missed the top 20, and will require big boosts in timeshifting and BVOD.

4

Why was the Leaders Debate not available to FTA?

5

These ratings really show what a force MAFS was. Maybe some of it has got to do with it being school holidays and between two long weekends.

I think if MasterChef (or even any of these reality formats) premiered next week they could have capitalised on people that tried one of the other formats but dropped off.

6

It is run like a marketing exercise for Sky News and Newscorp.

All three reality shows are quickly losing their shine. Looks like the Back to Win season for Masterchef back in 2020 only temporarily halted its inevitable decline in ratings. Lego Masters is doing well in the demos despite the total ratings failing to impress compared to the highs of the first two seasons. The Voice is also down big time which suggests the Tokyo Games really gave it the biggest push it needed last year.

It was… in regional areas. Would be interesting to see how it rated in the areas it was available.

I thought I’d deleted Sky News Regional from my channel guide list because I couldn’t find it when I went looking for it in the 80s LCNs as the debate was about to start. It has been so long since I’d watched Sky News that I’d forgotten it was now part of Southern Cross’s suite of channels. I did notice the PQ was far superior to what it was when WIN was delivering the channel. Everything else about the presentation was disappointing. Kieran Gilbert’s moderation was a joke.

I wonder how many viewers switched off Gogglebox last night during the last segment. I dry retched when that sock came off and had to turn the TV off. Anyone know if the old bloke’s unfortunate foot problem could be dealt with?

I’m really interested to see how the reality tentpole battle unfolds next week. Due to Seven’s AFL commitments in Melbourne & Adelaide, Lego Masters & MasterChef will have less competition on Sunday night. Whether that a) Gives either/both a boost and b) Impacts The Voice when it returns on Monday night will be something to watch.

BAD numbers for Nine News Adelaide by showing the Melbourne bulletin. Similar results for Nine News Perth, but they showed their own bulletin.

Probably also because Seven and 10 weren’t rating up against Married.

Now we have three staple reality shows up against each other which are all rating, to some extent. Makes it harder for any to run away.

Last year Voice and Lego were not head-to-head.

And it’s not going to change anytime soon after the debates commission was rejected.

The debate in regional areas ranked 40th overall on Sky News Regional which is good for a multichannel. It ranked higher than the version on Foxtel that was 51st. The combined audience would have placed it about 24th overall.

It was genetic and really just amounted to excess keratin.

Yes it was. My god that was the most hideous stuff I’ve seen in my life. There was a warning but fuck me it was scarring.

Well maybe the networks will listen to viewers eventually - 60 Minute Episodes of realities… Did someone say 2 and a bit hours of MasterChef next week? Yes 10 did, it’s viewers won’t.

It was on SNOW and available on SBS in different languages. Sky provided the feed to the FTA networks and they didn’t show it.

Not some sort of Sky/Murdoch conspiracy like many lefties will have you believe.
