At least a month to correct the issue with the Deal coding, good to see it finally fixed but 238k is still tragic for 7pm, repeat or not.
Comparing Thursday ratings for The Project back in May, it was getting over 300k each week and presumably around 400k in the 7pm half. Better than this and presumably acceptable in the demos.
Surely a new low for ten news+ (outside of a Sunday / Friday number).
I cannot wait to see how they address this at their up fronts and what they do to fix this schedule.
When did ch7 decide to move the amazing race US version to Wednesday night?
I find out quite odd that the 3 episodes of Home and Away decreased 100k and then another 20k. You would think if you were watching a show, you would watch all 3 episodes. I think people just leave the TV on and then just switch channels later. Googlebox was fantastic last night.
Hopefully this will give Channel 7 hints that the Australian public wants more scripted content of all genres. drama, comedy and even children’s shows.
Jim Jeffries and Friends is a disaster for Seven and cost them the night.
