Nine achieved a rare win in all metro markets on Wednesday.

Nine won Sydney by an almost 20% margin where Seven was 3rd, Melbourne by 16, Brisbane by +20, Adelaide by 6 and Perth by 1.5.

Nine News and Tipping Point both won by +100,000.

Today dropped just below 200,000 for an easy win to Sunrise.

Except Perth?

Erratic scheduling and random new episodes mixed with repeats.

Now while 7 and 9 do this, they have multiple shows over a million viewers to advertise their changes to, 10 do not.

For example do the people who watched DOND at 7 and knew 6:30pm episodes were repeats, now know they are some newer episodes at 6:30pm now, and when they find out next week that new episodes will air at 6:30pm now, they’ll be greeted again by the random mix of new and repeats on different days,

25

10 is now definitely missing The Project.

The fact IAC is up year on year and pre recorded is a miracle for them, considering they have now shed eyeballs and demo from losing The project and Neighbours daily.

News down 80k and DOND down at least 40k based on same night last year.

27

I’m not sure about that. It feels like 10 don’t know who their audience is anymore. They get it right with shows like Big Brother, it feels like it is aimed at the right demo. Then they do things like News+ and Millionaire, which feel much older. :man_shrugging:

If it’s the network that’s the problem not the shows - exactly what is the poem with 10?

from my point of view they do branding better than the others, they tend to take more risk.

I se the problem as they’ve not been able to get 6-7pm work for 25 years now

29

They also don’t have a major sport to have the mass audience to promote the good programs they do have to a larger group.

30

They no longer know their true target audience - their younger audience went online and the older audience has never seen 10 as a network that produces the shows they want

Worth noting that last night in those watching broadcast TV, 10 was second with the same share as Seven in 25-54.

The 10 “Play” share is letting them down in the Total TV market.

The first episode of anything needs to start off with a high viewership so that it can handle the 20% second-episode drop and further room to fall later.

10 didn’t say it out loud, but they feared it might not work, so it was shown network-wide. It didn’t even crack the half-million mark.

I’m afraid to say it may have been the season high.

I called it a “flop” the following day. Still held true now, hope to be wrong later. Just not sure what time it can bounce back, but we can definitely rule out June-July and September-early October.

Celebrity picked up 200,000 (that probably watch the Olympics live).

Well, the lead-out feels even more disappointing now.
