Ten places fifth on Tuesday night in absence of Bachelor in Paradise
Network Ten’s main channel had a 9.2% audience share on Tuesday night which placed it behind Seven (21.7%), Nine (18.6%), Seven’s multi-channel 7mate (10.0%) and national broadcaster ABC (9.3%).
The comparative poor performance of Ten’s main channel can somewhat be attributed to the absence of Bachelor in Paradise – the channel had an 11.2% audience share on Sunday and 12.6% on Monday when the program screened – and the noticeable dive in viewers for Hughesy, We Have A Problem, which plunged 37% from last week’s episode.
The panel show, fronted by comedian and radio host Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes, had just 288,000 viewers. The show premiered in January with 632,000 metro viewers, but has steadily declined since then. Last week’s episode had 459,000 metro viewers, and 438,000 viewers tuned in the week before.
