Ratings Megaweek Day 3: Nine’s Top Gear vanquishes Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent
In what was something of a surprise result, the heavily promoted return of Australia’s Got Talent failed to win Tuesday night’s ratings. It was beaten into second place by Nine’s Top Gear.
AGT – featruing Kyle Sandilands, Dannii Minogue and Brian McFadden judging the Melbourne and Sydney auditions – rated a healthy 1.5m audience average. But according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam, the only metro market it won in was Adelaide.
Meanwhile, Top Gear – which Nine snatched from SBS last year – won the night with 1.7m.
Notice Top Gear’s ep next week is a repeat. Poor form 9.
Any show with Vile in it will be avoided by anyone with half a brain.
Have to say a repeat of top gear is far more entertaining the the Bad Lands, not Kylie and a boy band reject all trying to find a new Su BO! Isn’t Australia’s got talent just a repeat of Idol, new faces, UK’s got talent etc etc etc with different faces? Give Me Jezza the Hamster and the boring one racing somewhere across the globe anytime and I will watch it four times over somebody resinging a celine dion track for 8th time this week.
I look forward to ‘The Pacific;’ as it might stop 7 and 7two from the huge oversell in recent days.
Saving Private Ryan, lots of adverts for the series on both channels then Midway followed by WWII The Lost Films. The latter supposed documentary managed to leave out the US defeat at the Battle of the Kasserine Pass in North Africa; so much for objectivity. I will look with interest at the demographic of those watching ‘The Pacific’ as I at a loss to think who can be interested in a WWII war movie reportedly running to 10 episodes and 540 minutes plus ads.
Stop bloody cutting the episodes 9 – if you watch the original there’s a fair bit still on the cutting room floor – who are 9 to cut Top Gear???
ANYTHING but two and a half idiots is good TV viewing I reckon.
@act551 – Your comment doesnt even make sense. Do you only have Channel 7 and 7Two on your TV? If you don’t like what’s on you don’t have to watch them, just change the channel! Your analysis of The Lost Films suggests you enjoy these movies. Try watching TV for entertainment. Do you work for Nine?
The Pacific is brilliant, not at a BoB level but worth watching.
@Kylie Nines coverage of Top Gear drives me mad, so much so that I do not watch it (too many adverts!!!!) Top Gears owners in the UK should protect their brand and enforce rules so that there are only x amount of ad breaks and that the shows should not be cut down.
Hey ho – probably why so many people torrent it up to avoid adverts…
@Kylie & Media Watcher.. It’s called Syndication..
@ KYLIE and MEDIA Well I guess if people keep downloading (stealing) the programme then The BBC will pay Clarkson and co less. They will then do the Parkinson thing and end up on a commercial network. Then you downloading theievs idiots can complain that the progs are only 38 minutes long!! But I guess you need something to complain about.
