Nine’s the Today show managed to beat rival Sunrise yesterday despite the Seven show featuring a Justin Bieber concert and interview live from Cockatoo Island.
Sunrise’s David Koch, Sam Armytage interviewing Justin Bieber
The Today show has this week been broadcasting from around Australia on a “We love Australia tour” with yesterday’s show coming from Longreach, Queensland, managing 339,000 viewers compared with 306,000 viewers.
In primetime Ten’s The Bachelorette has built on its debutlast week pulling 992,000 metropolitan viewers for the episode in which Sam Frost shared a passionate kiss with Sasha Mielczarek
I have nothing to say
“Despite”? I would say they beat them because of, not despite.
I switched off when I saw Bieber appear on the programme. Not a ratings winner for me.
Simple solution – pay Andrew O’Keefe a shed load and team with Edwina Bartholomew and Today will be unviable for Nine within 6 months
Stuart not sure if yr comment was for or against aok
Georgia – My comment was not based on being for, or against. The article leaned itself towards that Bieber couldn’t pull the ratings win. The deeper issue being breakfast TV talent in Australia, it’s a totally inane proposition. Change is needed and 7 are the only ones with the decent ammunition to make a change and move forward with talent that will motivate and connect to viewers.
I’m bored with both.
Cheesy TV gets tiresome and both programmes are a joke.
