Seven’s decision to delay Little Big Shots pays off, with 1.67m metro viewers tuning in

Seven’s Little Big Shots finally premiered last night, storming to the top of the ratings ladder with 1.67m metro viewers and 2.6m across the nation.

Little Big Shots hosted by Shane Jacobson, finally launched last night

Little Big Shots was set to launch in July, around the same time as Nine’s Ninja Warrior, however Angus Ross, director of programming at Seven delayed the premiere, arguing it was “not smart play” to split family audiences with one of Nine’s most successful shows of the year.

At the time, Ninja Warrior premiered with a virtually identical 1.68m metro viewers.
