Ten would've hoped for more for Big Brother but got an audience bigger than the 2004 and 5 launches, and the Comedy Festival benefited with a huge audience for that time of night to get Ten to a big win

I assume that tonight's Port v St Kilda game (which people in Qld/NSW won't be seeing until 11:20) is the reason why we didn't get any free to air coverage of Geelong v Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon? :rolleyes:

100% Correct. In fact, I don't even think it's live into VIC because BB will run about 15 minutes late as usual.

You can't blame ch.9 for that, ch.10 do the saturday games. Uncommited bastards.

You know the Semi Final between Geelong and Sydney was delayed by 1 hour in Perth last year :thumbsd:

And with ch.7 you never got to see non WA teams live :thumbsd:

Queensland. There's all this talk about improving Friday night broadcasts up here. Well, how about they just ensure we get ALL Saturday afternoons on free to air like we used to. And yes YOTC, it is 10's fault in this case.

To be honest, i'd prefer the Monday night game get FTA coverage over the Saturday arvo game, all things being equal.

I just want FNF on at 7:30 in Perth...last time 9 tried that it rated it's arse off, yet the following week it was back at 8:30, and with it about 50k less viewers.

Maybe for you guys over there, but seeing as Channel 10 were too scared to show the Monday night game before 11:30 up here, it seems a big waste for us Queenslanders to get that game instead of a LIVE Saturday afternoon game.

I just think it's stupid that Channel 10 only gets two games to cover each and every week and they can't change that to 3 games on weeks like this. I guess I'm old fashioned in that I believe free to air should take precedence over pay TV in circumstances like this.

Huge numbers for the footy, lead into Bert who was up 30% on recent numbers, DOND up about 20, then Nine smashed Seven in news, Seven took over at 6:30, the 7:00 numbers were similar to Monday, then Seven won the rest of the night. Tight battle for the week too - Ten could win as many as 3 nights this week and probably will be 2nd on Friday, while Nine will struggle tonight and tomorrow and Seven will on Friday and Saturday

I think it was just another one of those things that the AFL overlooked in the current TV deal. Add it to the list of 50 or so.

Whether it changes in the next 5 years will depend on the attitude of 7 and 10. They can sell up to 4 games a week to pay, but are just as entitled to sell less than that. You can bet 7 and 10 will be more prudent when it comes to negotiating their contract than the AFL were.

Ten won last night which was no great surprise - the surprise was that apart from Prison Break, nobody watched Seven, and Nine's 8:30 and 9:30 shows were considerably up. In Sydney, Seven won the news hour, Home & Away came 4th, then they were 3rd for the rest of the night. In Melbourne, Seven's only 15 minute win from 5:30-10:30 was 6:45-7:00.

Interesting that Prison Break is the only commercial 8:30 show that is building on its lead-in (by at least 40%, going on those figures). Says a lot about how badly Beyond Tomorrow is doing when PB can only manage 5th.

Ch7 have changed the saturday night shows.From 6.30pm they're having a 3 hour Fawlty Towers Marathon.

What chance that this marathon will 'feature' some sad excuse for a host filling in time between episodes with inane banter? Andrew O'Keefe at 5/2, Kochie and/or Mel at 4/1, and a Daddo at 12/1.

NO surprise Lost suffered- last night's episode was a complete joke. Why they had a whole storyline for Echo is beyond me- they must be trying to stretch it out.

And don't get me started on that "monster". Laughable

A few of the episodes coming up only focus on one character. The one with Echo is one of the better ones. I have seen up to episode 19 and you could tell me exactly the same amount of stuff on what is going on because the stoty is going no where.

28 Apr 2006, 14:43

Break down on the Biggest Loser

7:30-9:30 average: 2.237
Ten is claiming the real average for whatever time it was on is 2.31, considering the 3.2 million peak was after 9:30 that seems believable, that number also means Law & Order really got its usual number around a million

This week is the first time Ten has won 3 nights in a week since OzTAM took over the ratings in 2001, they have not won a week in that time eitherAnd I guess this is TV related, but the CH 9 Cricket Commentary Team looks like it's in for a revamp with Chappell and Greig under the pump, Warney back in favour and Lawry to stay on.With Nine's cost cutting, no domestic stuff and JB and Nicholas signing long term deals that's no surprise

28 Apr 2006, 21:46

Ch7 have changed the saturday night shows.From 6.30pm they're having a 3 hour Fawlty Towers Marathon.Then at 9.30pm they're showing Blue Hillbillies

I guess the idiots at ch7 finally realised a lot viewers that watch Blue Heelers also watch The Bill,which is on at the same timeI think that's only Melbourne - yourtv says it's everywhere but there's more places (and 2 that are pretty reliable) that say it's Melbourne only and everywhere else is staying same as it's been the last month

Great. So now channel 10 are going to keep shoving thier crap down our throats for another five years based on this one week of ratings. I can almost hear them giving the kiss of life to X-Factor, The Hothouse and all the other reality show that have tanked for them over the past five years. Thier new slogan should be "There's a sucker born every minute."
