Ratings Thursday March 11, 2010

Seven News and Today Tonight top the night’s ratings, with both just below 1.2 million. At first, I questioned why Nine would put Mentalist repeats on at 8.30 Thursdays in stead of new programming like CSI, but with the Mentalist topping the night in non-news shows and being Nine’s only show for the night that passed the million mark, it appears to have been the right decision.

At 7.30, Getaway easily wins its time slot, ahead of Seven’s Ghost Whisperer and Ten’s Biggest Loser. Biggest Loser rated the same as Ghost Whisperer, but come 8pm, So You Think You Can Dance Results shed a few viewers leaving Ten third at that time.

At 8.30, Cougar Town, How I Met Your Mother and the second half of Dance come nowhere near the strong result for Nine’s Mentalist. At 9pm, Law and Order SVU is only marginally behind Seven.

The big change to ratings reporting in 2010 is the inclusion of time shifted figures. Shows recorded and watched at a different time on the same night they air are included in the overnight figures while shows recorded and watched within 7 days of when they air are reported separately in time shifted figures.

The time shifted figures can change the outcome of ratings for any given week, so it is not accurate to list the top shows for any given week until the time shifted figures have been included.

So far, the main beneficiaries to the new system are scripted shows with shows like NCIS, Desperate Housewives, the Good Wife, Bones and more all being regular top 20 programs in the time shifted ratings. The greatest gains in percentage are typically seen from digital channel shows such as Lost on 7TWO and those in highly competitive timeslots.

Ratings Tuesday March 9, 2010.

Some huge shows last night with the top show from all three commercial networks exceeding 1.3 million in ratings and representing the top three shows overall, pushing the usual nightly winners Seven News and Today Tonight to 4th and 5th respectively. Ten’s best show for the night, the week and year so far is NCIS at over 1.5 million. Top Gear on Nine pulled in just over 1.3 million, while My Kitchen Rules on Seven maintained figures over 1.4 million.

With nearly 3 million eyeballs on Seven and Nine at 7.30pm, Ten had to settle for only 915,000 for Bondi Rescue (the show used to pull well over a million) and less than 800,000 for Biggest Loser.

A shocker of a night for Ten with the network ratings about half of what both Seven and Nine did. Ten’s top show is the 5pm News with just under a million, but that doesn’t actually count towards the networks’ prime time shares which kick in from 6pm - midnight.

Top show for the night was Two and a Half Men, thanks to abnormally huge numbers in Melbourne. In Sydney, 2.5 Men is 7th show. My Kitchen Rules stayed around the 1.4 million mark and the Mentalist easily won the 8.30pm timeslot despite last night’s episode being one of the most boring episodes of the show so far.

The Oscars did well live, and the 9.30 replay rated around 700,000, but that was nothing compared to last years event hosted by Hugh Jackman which was a much better show than this years was. It was probably one of the most boring ceremonies for several years, and the ratings seem to reflect that.

Ratings Sunday March 7, 2010

After months of promotions, V debuted on Nine last night to an audience only slightly bigger than the regular crowd watching Bones on Seven, falling just short of 1.3 million. Yet again another example of how the general public really don’t take well to sci fi. Ten’s Good Wife was pushed to 3rd in the time slot, but still rating over a million.

Having seen the original series in the 80’s, the new remake of V brought back memories and carried the same story line just with some aspects modernised for 2009/2010. A debut of 1.3 million is not what Nine would have expected, as the traditional second week drop off will probably see V rate around a million.

GO had its usual high Sunday night share of 4%. Top Gear did not do as well as Wipe Out was in the same timeslot. Big Bang Theory remains GO's biggest draw card.
