The debut of Seven’s new Wednesday line-up featuring the 1% Club delivered a 2point network share boost as the new game show made the top 10 with 527,000. While Seven was number one in network shares by 0.3, Nine’s main channel was number one.

That saw Nine and ABC lose share while 10 and SBS were steady week-on-week.

The result for The 1% Club was on par with what Seven had been achieving with Farmer Wants A Wife in total people numbers but produced a better result in younger viewers with a time-slot win in the two youngest demographics. The show was 8th in 25-54. Later, Accused was on par with Tuesday’s result while We Interrupt This Broadcast ended on a low below 6 figures.

Earlier in the day The Chase Australia recorded its highest audience of the year with a 210k lead over Hot Seat at 5.30pm. That then saw Seven News win at 6pm by 200k with Melbourne and Brisbane both producing their highest rated Wednesday bulletins of the year.

By 7pm Nine was on top with A Current Affair winning again while Travel Guides was number one at 7.30pm despite dropping 20k from the season premiere of the previous week.

Over on 10, I’m A Celebrity was up 20k from the previous week. 10 News was a rare top 20 entry with Brisbane delivering the highest rated bulletin.

For ABC, Hard Quiz and The Weekly both posted small gains week-on-week while 7.30 is having a low-rated week.

Meanwhile the Alone Australia phenomenon continued on SBS. While steady with last week, it made a rare top 20 appearance in the overnights. That followed ranking 8th last week in total TV numbers.

The season final of Gogglebox was up slightly on the series lows posted in recent weeks.

The 1% Club wasn’t that great but did quite well and it looks like it’s at the expense of Hard Quiz. Though I forecast a drop next week given reactions to the show were mixed. I guess it’s at least encouraging that a new format does pay off (initially) and Seven should continue to do new shoes instead of rehashing the same old.

Very weak result for 10 News First in Adelaide.

Decent debut for The 1% Club with timeslot wins in Melbourne and (especially) Perth. It ranked second in Perth behind Seven News.

The penultimate episode last week had a modest increase in Total TV figures. Won’t see it return for a second season.

6

Yes, I was thinking the same. its usually does better than that.

They really need a bigger promotional push… book some local radio spots. But having the main presenter based in Sydney wont help.

Wow, afternoon news shows beating programs in prime time.

Who would have thought that so many people would like watching news on TV when they all have a phone?

8

Surely some justification for investing some more into the Qld bulletin, no? Either that or they see it as a win achieving those sort of figures and results for relatively low outlay and effort.

Amazing how numbers have dropped over the years… seems to be going down year on year.

10

Yes. I wonder if a news bulletin at 9pm would have rated higher than these 2 earlier bulletins and made its way into the Top 20 last night?

11

Who know? It is virtually a brisbane bulletin as it is. It actually does not service Sydney veiwers who are lucky to get 3-4 local stories per night. They have so many Bronocs and Lions stories as well as the Brisbane weather at the end. It is diabolical for Sydney viewers.

No Scott, It wouldn’t. I think its clear that you need to move on from that discussion.

I think the justification would be moreso that Sydney needs its own dedicated bulletin again. Brisbane rated higher than Sydney.

That was 10 News Brisbane’s second highest rating this year.

Re prime time news at 9pm etc - news tends to be a poor demo performer and as has been mentioned does not pick up any extra numbers in catch-up viewing as opposed to especially drama.

If you look at the Nine Afternoon News that made the top 20 yesterday, in 25-54 it was only 28th with the same rating in that demo as Two and A Half Men on 10 Peach.

1% did way better than I thought, even key demos and in-turn all the shares, ep 2 will be interesring to see, meanwhile surprised to see Accused didn’t decline, somewhat promising, as we await total tv data, another strong lead-in helping. With Friday and Saturday AFL to come (presuming Nine win tonight with NRL and no AFL but save for Seven News + H&A + Front Bar) Seven are looking very healthy for this week.

The 1% Club rated better than i thought. Probably will drop as the weeks go on.

Good to see Alone Australia crack the top 20 for SBS.

Wrong.

The afternoon news in Adelaide and Perth on Nine are shown at 5pm, directly against Ten News.

The Eastern States have a 4pm news service with Hot Seat still shown at 5pm.

That’s a good result with the program airing at the earlier time of 8.30pm in select states. Hopefully can be left in this earlier timeslot.
