To be fair david, Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen actually won its timeslot, beating Seven.

However, unlike the sneak peeks, Oz Lotto is inside a program which is why it isnt counted separately. If Oz Lotto was in between two different programs like the sneak peeks are (like when it used to be on at ‘8.28′), then it probably would be counted separately.

@tv:

Of course it has got to do with the disappointing end-of-week linup, but in comparison to last week I meant.

And Darryn, you do realise that the demos are what brings in their advertising dollars? =/

@ Jerome’s comment – ‘last year DWTS started with just over the mil and that was with very little competition’
Actually it began with 1.3 million for ep one at 7.30
This year @ 6.30 it’s not directly against 60 minutes or Idol (last year around 1.5 & 1.3 respectively and with a 2.5 hour show share will give better share.
Also no Bruno on Rove this week….. like I said
‘I’d be surprised if Seven didn’t win Sunday night’

Darryn, i can’t stand any one of the commercial channels, avoid them as much as i can, and very rarely defend them, but how is doing well in the demos a pathetic performance? If you do some basic research, you will find that old people do not make networks much money.

@ Peter
I agree. If a sneak peek can be considered a program, then shouldn’t lotto be considered one? I don’t remember seeing it being listed in the top 20 for Tuesday (unless it really was that bad, which I doubt given there was 90million on offer)

@ warden

last year DWTS started with just over the mil and that was with very little competition, this year there is MC and merlin. and SN was getting about 1.2-1.3 and 7 still came 3rd last sunday

How does a sneak peek qualify as a programme?

@george
tell 10’s accountants how excited you are about them winning those all important demo’s. The tears in there eyes from pi**ing themselves laughing at you may blur out the sea of red figures in front of them.

Jerome- you gotta be kidding me.
DWTS will get better share in the slot – Remember that Border U.S and Force were getting just over 1 mill.
I’d be very surprised if 7 doesn’t win Sunday night.

looking to the future
7 will suffer on Sunday because of DWTS i doubt it will do better than SN and bones will not do as well at 9:00. 60mins, rove and MC should be huge and maybe push 7 to 3rd.

then 7 should get a good win on monday, tues, wed, and maybe thurs with double greys and Fri.

then the following week 9 and ten will strike back with SOO and MC finals.

A week does not make a switch.

Not in this day and age.

i thought ten could do a 2nd this week. it was looking good for them up to thursday.

George – Tuesday has nothing to do with Ten coming third this week. In fact Ten got 3.8 points more than Nine on Tuesday. It is Thursday to Saturday figures that are lacking. Even Wednesday is looking bad. And with the return of Rafters, the 30+ point ratings for Ten on Tuesdays are over.

Funny how all those cry babies who lost their HD coverage to sport seem to keep watching more and more in beautiful Ten SD

Good week for TEN, 0.6% off Nine and winning the key demos once again! How is TEN coming for 25-54 for year to date?

Had TEN won Tuesday they definitely would have come second this week. Ah well. TEN should definitely be happy with how they’re going, considering they’ve won the key demos for ages now.
