I reckon part of why TEN keeps Neighbours despite the low ratings, is due to the fact it win in the 16-39 demographic most if not all night.

(not looking to turn another ratings discussion into one about Neighbours)

Dino I would never quote 6 – 10.30 without saying so. The figures are based on Nine info:

18 – 49 Year to Date
TEN: 28.4
Nine: 27.9
Seven: 27.7
ABC: 10.8
SBS: 5.2

The TEN release you refer to is commercial networks only. TEN has traditionally published this way because it skews them in favour. Ironically, now they are doing so well it actually doesn’t. Go figure.

David, you state Ten are now leading the year for 18-49′s. According to Ten’s own weekly wrap (released today at Ten corporate), Ten is actually third in 18-49 year to date 6pm – midnight.

Unless you are quoting 6pm – 10.30pm figures, which they are leading 18-49 YTD in. But that isn’t “industry standard”, just what Ten prefers to report on.

NCIS repeats will continue to rate around 1.3 mill I reckon, the 7pm Project is also likely to be a hit. Other than that Ten will continue to have a moderately strong second half of the year I reckon, a lot better than the second half of 2008 anyway.

yeah harry but we do have rush coming back which on its new night hopefully will crack the million mark and stay that way. They also have idol which has grown in ratings a little in the last 2 seasons. 5th grader returns although previous seasons havnt been that great, House returns in about 3 months and there is news the new season will have changes because of the lower ratings and how repetitive each show is, so hopefully this will bring back people.Ncis will return towards the end of the yr which will lift tens share towards the end of the ratings yr, about 3.5 months for that, lie to me also starts around this time if not a few weeks earlier. Merlin has 7 eps left in the 1st season and the second season starts today. so some okay news to come. The one thing i cant wait to see is what the numbers will be for the masterchef finale!!!

mikeys: we dont need another negative program on the air, we dont need to watch losers in a house achieve nothing. masterchef is soo good it suprised me! Everyone was fed up with negative tv and thats why bb bombed in ratings in the final 2 seasons. atleast nearly every contestant that has been eliminated from masterchef has gone on to work in a restraunt or has taken up the oportunity.

Once again TEN won 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 demos.

And there you have it. Ten is #1

Demos is all that matter.

Total people does not mater.

Profits are made on demos. Advertisers pay for demos, not total people.

I was one of those doubters of MasterChef. I admit I was wrong, but due to severe lack of Big Brother action, I refuse to watch…

Well done for your gamble Ten, shame on you for abandoning BB… heheh And good on you for beating Nine

George

SBS TWO and ABC2 and ONE HD are all not going totmake the Top 100, they have half the population unable to watch it and carry mostly niche programming. ONE HD and ABC2 actually rate the same (around 1 point) while SBS is 4 all up. Not sure if SBS TWO is seperated from SBS ONE.

Has anyone seen those Channel 9 news commercial saying that 9 news is the first news team on location then bashing channel 7 news for turning up late after the news. Whats up with this, ratings, egos ?

When Masterchef finishes TEN will struggle, especially with NCIS last new ep being aired on Tuesday! Generation will still be on air for a while according to some article I read but PTTR returns so boring ratings again.

@ryan
wake up, in a country where the top show rarely tops 2 mil demo’s mean nothing. When u have 30-50 channels each with a number of 5-20 mil shows in their armoury then demo’s count. 10 may win the demo’s but i know for a fact that in this country a station that has 5-10 million viewers then 10 over a week will take home the biccies.
You said u wish 2 buy shares in 10. Do it , canwest will teach you a lot about blind faith.

@angelsgal, some good points, ten are looking alright for the last bit of the year i don’t know why people say they aren’t, we should see them taking quite a few 2nd’s.

few things. Glee won’t be able to start until the end of september, which is a long tiem after merlin ends and will probably have to run into summer or 2010.
