Yes all the main channels are dropping off… people are heading for the multichannel!

[Johnson28]

I think Seven's main channel share is incorrect??? Seven beat Nine in main channels but lost in combined shares.

[MillerT1]

Multichannel figures aren't really that much different to normal. It's just that people are leaving the main channel and not watching TV at all, which gives the regular figures on the multichannels higher shares.

[J Bar]

The main channels need to lift their game. Having a non-ratings period is ridiculous these days. Why turn viewers away for eight weeks over summer and then work twice as hard to make them come back?

Not really. People have different patterns in December and January. A lot of travel, nights out, family, Xmas parties, work events, late nights outside.... people have less time for and are interested less in TV - and the networks have taught them there is nothing on in the summer.

[J Bar]

and the networks have taught them there is nothing on in the summer.

That's exactly the problem. They've taught them to switch off and stay away and then beg them to come back at the end of January. We need to have ratings measured all year round like the UK do.

I think that the channels would have a more difficult job of keeping viewers interested in TV if Seven didn't have the Australian Open and if Nine didn't have the cricket. Ten always does okay when everything returns at the start of the year, but there is no doubt that if they had something over summer to keep viewers interested, they would have a much better shot.

You would think that with all the money that Seven have inevitably made over the last year, they would inject some of it into some quality summer programming, but no. Obviously, they want to save as much money as possible whilst still winning ratings weeks and just hope that they will return to the 30+% weekly wins that shows like MKR and Rafters would give them.

[KICK-IT]

We need to have ratings measured all year round like the UK do.

The ratings are measured 52 weeks a year.

But 10 weeks of summer are not counted to set advertising rates. That's all.

It's eight weeks in summer and two at Easter. What's the point of excluding them? They're all in the same boat at these times so what's the point of excluding them? It's just an excuse for them to show rubbish for ten weeks and have a bit of a bludge .

Fairly sure advertisers set rates and when they are to be recorded, not the networks, unless I'm mistaken? If so, it would make perfect sense for them to give up.

[joshie_j]

Impressive numbers for The Closer and Yes Minister on Gem, which unfortunately seems to only really pick up during summer.

Unsurprisingly, Seven's 7pm episode of Megastructures is struggling even more than RSPCA did last week. Very strange choice for a typical 'light family viewing' slot on a main channel.

Good to see The Middle steady week on week, should be fit to screen on the main channel during ratings by the end of the year. Don't know why Nine took it off in the first place, if I remember correctly when it premiered two summers ago it was steady at around the 900k mark.

So at 900k it sunk, but somehow on 600k it will fire during ratings...while we're at it let's try New Adventures of Old Christine again!

[ryaneco]

The Middle - it's a good show but I think Nine should just leave it to Go! It's nice to have some original (and should be exclusive) content on the multichannels - The Middle does decent numbers on Go and I think it should just stay over there - I really like the show - it takes a bit to warm to it; but it is a good sitcom.
