The Blacklist returns with 909,000 as The Biggest Loser falls to 339,000
The return of James Spader’s The Blacklist brought 909,000 metro viewers to Channel Seven last night but Ten’s The Biggest Loser Australia got just 339,000 against The Block and My Kitchen Rules.
MKR won the night with 1.911m while Nine’s The Block had 964,000 viewers at 7.30pm, but The Biggest Loser Australia had it’s lowest outing yet this season, according to OzTam’s preliminary overnight ratings.
Meanwhile Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell on ABC1 was third in the 8pm timeslot with 543,000, as was comedy quiz show Spicks and Specks, with 442,000, despite dropping of its debut to 598,000 when it launched with a new panel last week.
The Moodys, on ABC1 at 8.30pm, averaged 379,000 for the second episode of the series in competition with The Blacklist.
Ten continues to be a basket case. The Sochi Olympic coverage is a disgrace with hosts with no insights and events which are cut, spliced and diced. And dare I say there are so many ads that you don’t have a coherent viewing experience. If I was an advertiser I would be deeply pissed off. If you balance the viewer experience with judicious commercial breaks then everybody wins. If you gouge the viewer with ads they go away. And Roy & HG have long past their use by date. What were Ten thinking?
When are Roy and HG on? I would watch just to see them!!
Wake Up should be Put Down. Quick Smart.
Wake Up continues to be a disaster and the Today show is getting thrashed, now by 75,000 a day. Where have the stories about that ongoing saga gone? What a catastrophe morning TV is for both for 9 and 10.
Studio 10 is fantastic, and is just the type of smart talk show morning tv needs. I really want it to work but the ratings of any show at that time are quite low and there isn’t much room for loyal viewers to migrate to Ten at 8.30am. Hope it makes headway soon!
