David, not quite right. The finalised schedule times are sent to OZTam day of telecast.
The only Programs that have vary from scheduled times are live broadcasts or very late deliveries.
Yes Nine could submit the time as 5:23 to OzTAM, but that’s what I meant by scheduled times. I am often sent corrected numbers for overruns and they’re not always live shows.
Its ok David i was just saying. Not a big thing.
Is the actual time of Hotseat taken into account when the ratings come out every day? The show runs for 38 mins (approx), would that give it better or worst figures?
Overnight ratings are for scheduled times. They are adjusted for actual timings later.
What about Hotseat starting at 5:23 today…. Every single day it starts early…. Is that recorded in the ratings everyday?
I havent put it on the Last List cause its actually Early.
I’m not going to host a separate Early List, it’s a naming issue only. The issue is about accurate programming so you are free to register Early Times if you feel the urge.
Based on this list, it looks like Bones on Seven was the worst offender by being 15mins late. Although, part way through the week Seven sent out an update listing the new start time for Bones of 8.45pm (as noted on this site). Their EPG was also updated so it was probably only printed tv guides which still had the old advertised time of 8.30pm.
Repeats of The librarians on ABC was 5-15 mins late most weeks. I taped it on iq each week and always had to add 20mins so I wouldn’t miss the ending.
I think sometimes show start 2-3 mins late but because they have no ad breaks then usually don’t run overtime and ABC pads the ends with promos before the next show is due to start.
@ Bogues it is usually the Wed night line up. Althoughh Restoration man was late last week 6pm Monday!
Love to know what is late on ABC. You can usually set your clock based on their start times.
