Bond marathon doing very nicely once again for Nine, even though on 9Go! this time.
Would be fascinating to see the demographics, I suspect it’s exposing the channel to older audiences who are seeking the films, while also perhaps exposing the 007 movies to the channel’s existing younger audience.
Disappointing that threadbare 10 are stringing out Masterchef and using cheap imports to plug gaps in the middle of Winter. GRSS was never going to do well but that figure is pretty pitiful. These poor decisions will just sink the network even quicker.
Still surprised and a little disgusted that the 1% club repeats are doing so well. I get 7’s logic if its rating well why not but having so many repeats just forces viewers to find alternatives and they probably won’t come back seeing as there are better newer offerings elsewhere. Pretty short sighted on 7’s behalf.
