All Stories Feed9021-0h dear. TEN drops teen soap.
Less than a week after dropping Taken Out from its schedule, Channel TEN has now yanked 90210, including plans to slate the show on Friday nights from next week.
Only five of the episodes have aired.
The show started in Australia with a double episode attracting 837,000 and 666,000 in early September. This week it averaged 616,000.
TEN had already announced a move it to Friday nights from next week, replacing it with Supernatural, but that now won’t happen. TEN maintains that it still believes in the show and it will return later in the year.
In the US, the show had a strong launch as the highest rated series premiere ever for the CW Network in the 18-49 demographic. Within three weeks it won a full series, the first of the new Fall season. As a fasttracked series, TEN had not been able to preview the drama before scheduling it -one of the downsides of fasttracking.
After its US premiere, TEN’s David Mott said, “Rarely do you have a show with such great global buzz and we’re confident come Tuesday morning we’ll be crowing our own rating victory.”
TEN will air a movie, The Bourne Supremacy at 8:30pm on Friday October 10 and United 93 October 17th.
