I didn’t watch 9 last night, but what’s the bet that they miscoded the length of MAFS to bump up the reach number for Clarkson’s Farm to make 9’s whole line up look more impressive?

1 Like

I’d say its more a case of people leaving their TV on Ch9 for more than one minute into the beginning of Clarksons Farm. Still technically a viewer according to reach.

7 Likes

Yes with a reach number 1.1 million more than the average that is possible, but not necessarily deliberate as it happens with most programs because just people watching for 1 minute after the end of MAFS will count in the reach number.

The audience is growing from 10 News to DOND to The Project to Survivor which I guess is an improvement for 10?!

This is why “reach” is ludicrous as a primary ratings indicator. “Reach around” would be a more apt description.

Nine are killing it this week, despite the cloud of the new reach figures and not having breakdowns anymore. A warning perhaps to others next week when survey starts.

But not Melbourne? So:

Seven News Melbourne must’ve also been down and by quite some distance?

From the Network shares… Seven seems to be doing better this year. Might be because reginal numbers prefer Seven.

Or - Desperate Reach

1 Like

The issue with the “reach” criteria is that even when shows run to schedule there is still almost a minute of margin for error, ie last night Nine scheduled MAFS to finish at “9:15pm” - but is that 9:15:00 or 9:15:59 (ie 9:15pm and zero seconds, or 9:15pm and 59 seconds)?

My assumption is that OzTAM’s system (like any computer system) would use the exact 9:15:00 time. So all those people watching “at least one minute” of Clarkson’s Farm might actually be watching 59 seconds of MAFS then taking 1-2 second to switch off their TVs after MAFS finishes, even if MAFS finishes exactly on schedule.

If they are serious about using reach as a metric then the threshold needs to be changed to something that demonstrates slightly more deliberate behaviour on the part of viewers (ie 3-4 minutes minimum IMO).

Agree with the reach. It could be the end of the show (in reality shows) that run into the next show’s schedules time, and the reach would be the next show.

Is one minute enough? An average commercial break is 3 minutes long? I think the reach should be at least 2-3 minutes long (most of an ad break). Say im watching Married, and during the ad break i watch Idol. 1 minute is half a song, or just one judge talking. 2-3 minutes is enough time to watch “a story” on a reality show.

I think you answered your own question there.

As you can see their bvod is either smashed or on par with Seven’s and we know from Nine’s releases Nine are winning metro broadcast (TP, ACA, Married, later show and even east coast of Nine News and Today).

DOND is currently being shown on 3 channels. Other than Monday nights figures, I doubt 10 would be pleased with its current numbers.

From the looks of it News was working better.

No. You can’t have even more news on the channel. You alteady have midday, 3.30 and late night added.

It’s not even in OzTam’s 24hr Top 10 vod list either (publicly available online), currently dominated by Married, Survivor, Love Island UK All Stars, Nemesis, Aus Idol and Home & Away.

Married already a lightyear ahead after just 3 eps (publicly available in OzTam’s 28 Day Rolling VPM), with a vod audience alone already on par with Sunday’s Australian Open final.

Unless I’m missing something, how do we know this bit? We know they lost due to the Nine press release, but no further info provided
