Sunrise pips three-way breakfast battle, Loser gets season’s best in bad night for Ten
Ten’s first promoted day of Breakfast averaged just 56,000 viewers on Monday, well down on the 100,000 the market believes it needs to deliver.
The main battle for breakfast saw Seven’s Sunrise pipping Nine’s Today by just 6,000 viewers.
Sunrise took 386,000 while Today claimed 380,000, according to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam.
Ten’s new early-morning show Breakfast- just three shows in after launching early last Thursday to report on the Labor leadership contest – took just 56,000 viewers, but was up 7,000 viewers on its debut.
Labor Party members would surely account for the bulk of the Q&A audience?
More slanted than ever last night.
I don’t know why the token Coalition sitting ducks even agree to appear.
Just let them all sit around agreeing about how great socialism is – less arguments, and it’ll keep Friend of the ABC happy too, not to mention The Great Smirker, Tony Jones.
Breakfast will grow. It’s a good show. Fan better than its rivals
Breakfast is a great show. Intelligence delivered with considered social commentary and wit. Unlike the rivals who are enablers for the lowest common denominator or the brainwashed unthinking socially removed “Abbot-ites”
Gets my vote . . .but do we really need Project encore programming prior? Where’s Ron Wilson?
@ Rob – you have to be joking – Q&A always puts the percentage of how the audience votes on the screen and its always the coaltion that is the largest. 49% of the audience on Monday.
Just because the coalition can’t justify the limited policies it has and wants to remove great ideas such as the mining tax etc, don’t just assume it’s an evil audience.
The electorate didn’t like Julia or the mad monk much last election – Tony was prepared to sell his behind to become Prime Minister, but couldn’t form government.
That’s how elections work.
I have met Tony Abbot many times and its beside me how a good Riverview boy like him and Barnaby Joyce could have picked up so little of the caring for others that the Jesuits taught.
Tony is the man for our times – if our times are the 1950’s
