ONE holds up the main game at TEN

While TEN is fighting for direction with its newest shareholder it is getting whipped in the ratings, largely due to having little to offer in digital channels.

In Week 44 its Total People remained under the 20% mark for the fifth week in a row and it trailled in its prized demographics.  The results come at a time when James Packer is said to be concerned about the performance of ONE.

At the heart of the issue for TEN is its inability to match its rivals without competitive digital channels. GO! took four times the share of ONE, while 7TWO tripled it. It only just beat SBS TWO. The wait for ELEVEN is dragging down Network shares.

But Junior MasterChef is giving TEN reason to smile with 1.45m as the second best show of the week. Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation (1.24m), NCIS (1.21) and Undercover Boss Australia (1.13m) followed. They helped the network gain a little ground from the preceding weeks.

Meanwhile in Week 44 it was the Seven Network that was again victorious, with nearly a perfect clean sweep of the main game.

Seven won the key demos 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

Seven won all cities except Melbourne, which fell to Nine.

Seven almost had a clean sweep with every night of the week, but Nine’s Funniest Home Videos and Hey Hey combo helped it win Saturday. The ABC beat TEN on Friday and Saturday.

Packed to the Rafters was again the #1 show of the week.

There are 4 weeks remaining in the current survey year.
