What life looks like for Nine after Married At First Sight
The dinner party is finally over, so what’s next for Nine now that it can no longer rely on Married At First Sight to pull in viewers? Mumbrella’s Hannah Blackiston speaks to Nine’s Michael Stephenson to find out how the network plans to see out the rest of the year.
It’s been called a monster, a behemoth and a juggernaut, but Nine’s reality ratings topper Married At First Sight has ended. Alongside the Australian Open, the show delivered Nine its biggest start to the year in OzTAM history and now the question on everyone’s lips is whether the momentum can be carried throughout the rest of the year.
Nine’s chief sales officer Michael Stephenson is confident it can.
“We program our network from the first of January every year until the 31st of December. It’s 12 months of ratings and we schedule across those. We’ve got the final season of Big Bang Theory coming in next week and that’s on top of the content we already have on the network.
