Launch night ratings

Worst in history, but enough to keep producers happy

The Big Brother launch only attracted an average of 1.511 Million viewers throughout the two hour screening last night. The audience peaked at 1.9 Million viewers.

While it won the time slot in the first half hour, Network Seven’s Border Security easily beat it in their time slot, and ABC’s Australian Story dragged viewers from the broadcast towards the end. In a cruel twist of fate, Australian Story this week focused on the suicide death of Ten newsreader Charmaine Dragun.

Our sources tell us that the producers are quite happy with the result, saying anything above 1.3 Million viewers was a great performance.

The Behind Big Brother team would like to thank all past and present behind the scenes crew, hosts, and housemates for their contribution to Big Brother Australia over the past eight years, and we wish all involved a bright post-BB future. To all who supported Behind Big Brother over the years, thank you too!
