If the “killers” movie is one the with Ashton kutcher, it is now on Go (NSW)(12/8/12 09:30pm). What is the nine network doing. Repeating a program say 2 months after original broadcast okay, 2 weeks after, not ok
Guess!
ROFL – David, do you go out of your way to find the most embarrassing photos to use with your stories? If you don’t, then don’t change how you select the photos, they are hilarious!
That has got to be a new low point for Ch 9. The Project even rated better than The Voice US, not to mention Australian Story getting Double the numbers. Talk about being in a holding pattern waiting for the Olympics to save them.
So if the project at 6:30 got 750k that means during the time of 600-6:30 it must have been below 300k is that right?
ch9s poor showing at the moment is entirely down to poor planning and a complete absence of any strategy. I have also heard on the radio and reas in the printed press, that there is a 30 million dollar shortfall in their expected advertising revenue for the Olympics. This does not bode well going forward….
As for The Shire, it is hilarious, I keep expecting to see a Chris Lilley character popping up somewhere…The plastic girls are just perfect for a career in the online adult entertainment world….it is mindless….but some folk want fame at any price
Officially they are part of ratings. But the practice is to remove them from annual shares. Nine should really be issuing results with / without Olympic weeks at years end.
Thanks David, I haven’t been watch and about the only think I’m watching on Nine right now is the occasional BBT, I even just paid to get the Olympics coverage on Foxtel so I won’t have to put up with the constant Nine promos for it’s shows over the next 3 weeks
Silly question but since the Games are not included in the end of year ratings will they still be listed daily, how does that work?
Nine indicated it would move to GO! after this week when they announced the show.
The Voice US will be gone from Nine when/if it returns after the Olympics. IMO it will go to GO! or GEM.
Good numbers for Revenge, I agree that it is some what over hyped by I liked it and can’t wait for more, but I guess ch7 will hold off airing it until 2013?
love the shiree
@Charlie Miso: Thanks for watching!
Congrats to Revenge on its impressive ratings for its season finale, and in fact it’s entire freshman season. Bring on Season 2!
The Shire was Amazing last night. Didn’t think it could get any worse but they pulled it off.
The introduction of the underwear waitresses next week ensure that the car wreak will continue.
Thanks to the idiots in front and behind the camera here.
