Nine’s True Story with Hamish & Andy up another 80,000 viewers
Nine’s True Story with Hamish & Andy grew its audience by more than 80,000 for the second week in a row.
The show, which two weeks ago had just 546,000 metro viewers, climbed to 744,000 overnight, winning its time slot.

One of these days Tim is going to do an op ed on how stupid these numbers are – stupid in terms if you go back 20 years the idea that the top show only got 744,000 viewers would have been absurd. And lets not forget that in those 20 years Australia’s population growth.
TV- slowly dying business.
Yep. It sure would have been absurd 20 years ago to have the top show under 1 million.
Pretty absurd that the top show last night in metro TV was 1.027 million and you seemed to have missed that minor detail.
Sure TV is declining. There are many factors – the tsunami of online content available, the volume of streaming and online playback, DVRs and time-shifted viewing, decline in content quality on traditional TV, preference for non-linear over linear etc. etc.
But you know what? Still, no other media can provide an audience of 1 million per minute over a one hour period for just one single piece of content. The commercial value of that is increasing as fragmentation rapidly grows.
I don’t watch it, because they are made up stories or s story we’ve all heard or been there before. I’m not sold on this show.
