2014 Ratings Thread

Thursday nights were not always this way.

Thursday 28th of February 2013

1 MY KITCHEN RULES-THU Network 7 1,952,000
 
Well I tried to watch "live" last night but I turned on Channel 9 and the show had already been on for fifteen minutes. If someone as obsessed with BB as I am can't even get the scheduling right, there's no fucking hope for the general public.

As Alex apparently confirmed to @Tim the reason the Thursday and Friday shows feel more old school BB is because Nine doesn't care about ratings on those nights so he's given more freedom. Something that's taken me quite a few years to get used to because in the US, Thursday primetime from 8-11pm was IT. Here it seems like it's filler program.

I'm glad to see you avatar moving again Mrs Butterface, you were wasting away, down to the bare bones.

Well Nine have well and truly killed Big Brother, whatever hope I had left of it coming back next year has now been quashed.

I wouldn't go that far. It was a shit night for all the commercial channels:

We are still under the million, people…


Is it Daylight Saving? Is it the weather? Is it lack of interest in what’s being offered? Or is it all three?
Whatever the reason, for the third night in a row, no single show could manage to crack the one million mark, including the traditional 6pm News.
For the best comparison we should look to the same date a year ago, which was only marginally different with both news bulletins above the magic million. Things were a little brighter earlier in the week a year ago, now the dip is impacting earlier in the week.
Seven network won Thursday with 30.1% then Nine 26.8%, ABC 19.1%, TEN 18.3% and SBS 5.7%.

Seven News (903,000 / 873,000) was best for Seven then Home and Away (825,000), Beauty and the Geek (623,000 / 612,000) and Million Dollar Minute (470,000). Covert Affairs was 221,000.

Nine News (927,000 / 918,000) was best for Nine followed by ACA (796,000), Kings Cross ER (713,000), Big Brother (512,000), Hot Seat (490,000) and a repeat of Gotham (292,000).

Catalyst (731,000) topped ABC’s night while Upper Middle Bogan had a good debut at 719,000. ABC News (704,000), 7:30 (649,000), It’s a Date (621,000), QI (356,000) and Felicity’s Mental Mission (284,000) followed.

Madam Secretary was TEN’s best on Thursday at 559,000. The Project was 541,000 / 402,000. Save with Jamie was 528,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 516,000 and a repeat of Party Tricks was 190,000.

On SBS ONE it was The Little Paris Kitchen (248,000) then Ottolenghi’s Mediterranean Island Feast (204,000), The Incredible Spice Men (140,000), Masters of Sex (143,000), SBS World News (106,000) and Thai Street Food (63,000).

7TWO’s A Touch of Frost topped multichannels at 285,000.

The problem for Big Brother was that on a night with below average viewing this show should have been able to shine with lessened competition. Instead, it was beaten by every other show on the night (on a major network) and came fourth in its timeslot.

The ratings on that night weren't that different to one year ago on other networks but on Nine, Big Brother on 17 Oct 2013 had 801,000, number one in all demos with Nine winning the night.

Oh, here we go. Nine must be thrilled with these numbers for Goldeneye! Number 20!!! @Tim

20 GOLDENEYE Network 9 345,000

So just to put things in perspective, BB rated 144k higher in total viewers last week and was number 3 in 18-49s and number 1 in 16-39s, while Goldeneye didnt make the top 5 in any demos. Nine's channel percentage also fell by 1.4% and was within 2% of getting beaten by channel Ten. Was it a coincidence that the Living Room on Ten increased by nearly 100k compared to when BB was in the same timeslot last week? I think not!!

If Nine were smart they would reinstate BB for next Friday and extend it to go for an hour.

When 7 & 9 news and A current affair are the three most watched shows in the country it's no wonder we have twats like Abbott, Hockey and Pine determining the future. :bang:O_O:arghh::vomit:

It begs to ask the question: Will Big Brother Australia be axed, again?? :( I doubt TEN would pick it up, after their $168mil loss.

Part of me wishes the show would return next year because I do think I would miss it terribly but then the other part of me hopes it gets the axe but only if Network Ten get the rights again and turns the show around in a positive direction and respects the original format.

*sigh* I feel like it's lose, lose. If it gets axed we will all be living on eggshells hoping and praying Big Brother gets picked up again. :sorry:

But a third time revival has a slim chance of happening. :frown:

So should it be renewed on Nine for 2015? Better than the format dead forever? :cry:
 
9 might bid for the Big Brother franchise again, to stop the other networks getting it, then make a condensed mini-series out of it 80 days at 24 hours of footage a day is 1920 hours. Surely, even NEIN could edit a 3 part, 6 hour mini-series from all that footage. On second thoughts.........
