Block did pretty well for its first Sunday outing and ended up helping 60 Minutes.

Edited by MillerT1, 30 April 2012 - 09:00 AM.

[Racer25]

60M got a very solid boost from The Block. It'll be interesting to see the results once MC returns and whether that audience sticks around for Tricky Business. Still disappointing to see Nine not utilize their reality hits for a new Aussie drama.

Bones a long way ahead of Mentalist and Touch. Homeland never did this poorly.

[cmo]

Who on earth is watching 60mins? Its a terrible show. So cheap compared to the 80s and 90s.

[tmorgan96]

Because Touch launced against impossible competition. Homeland meanwhile was well-hyped.

I'm thinking ratings for Nine may have been inflated as many tuned in expecting to see the Voice, but getting the Block/Sixty Minutes instead.

[seanie]

Nine's 20% wins over the past two Sundays suddenly becomes a 2% loss. That will definitely make things a lot closer come the end of the week.

[Chris]

A lot of people probably tuned into The Block thinking that The Voice was on. I know that I did... but then ended up with DWTS. Sundays are going to be a tight battle now with Masterchef next week.

It will be an interesting week. Seven will still hold up strong against The Voice tonight and with an extra Revenge on Wednesday could take this week out.

Edited by Chris, 30 April 2012 - 09:34 AM.

I tuned into the Block thinking The Voice was on but then I swapped over to DWTS.

[CJM]

Ten's main channel beat Seven's main channel in both 18-49 and 16-39 (6pm-10.30pm). Ten/Eleven/One also beat Seven/7Two/7Mate in 18-49 and 16-39 (6pm-10.30pm).

Seven may have won the night in total people but they are a long way behind Nine in 18-49, 16-39 and 25-54. Dancing With the Stars skews so very old, easily being beaten by Biggest Loser, Modern Family, New Girl, The Block and 60 Minutes in 18-49, 16-39 and even 25-54. The Block had more than double the number of viewers watching in 25-54 than Dancing with the Stars.

[The Sifon]

MotoGP was just 294,000 (syd, mel, bris) on TEN.Another failed idea.

The Project was just 404,000 against 1,500,000 each on Seven and Nine. Sunday 6pm have never been this bad.

Ah yeah Sunday 6pm has always been bad for Ten, always. Even the Simpsons struggled to crack 500-600k

[The Rock]

Nine will still win the week by about 2 to 3 percent. When seven win they are not winning by big margins. Next week will be interesting with the voice only on Monday for 2 hours and their Tuesday line up returning to the block big bang theory two broke girls and two and a half men (also master chef returning, and seven should reclaim Tuesdays).

Interesting some media outlets picking up the story about the voice and how nine have actually recruited the people to audition from record companies and singing schools. Nine admit to not wanting people off the street concept rather wanting people who have already been semi trained or have already been signed up by record companies.

Nine already have most of the people ready for auditions for 2013. Not sure why the judges have their backs turned if they know these people can sing in the first place. Makes a mockery of the facial expressions the judges show during blind auditions.

Simpsons managed to crack 500-600k with that awful soap as a lead in.

may as well put Judge Judy or home shopping at 6pm and write off the timeslot.

I'm no expert in how the ratings system works, but the fact people switch to a network for 30 seconds and then leave equates to that person being counted as a viewer from 6.30 to 8.40pm now?

"6pm has never been this bad" except for the many times it was much worse.

Towards the end of 2010 for example...24-10-10 Simpsons got 334,000 6pm Sunday and 17-10-10 Simpsons got 384,000.

Even at the beginning of 2010...21-2-10 Simpsons got 410,000 and 7-3-10 Simpsons got 417,000.

If you want some samples of Simpsons 6pm Sunday in the middle of 2010...here are some random dates:
30-5-10 571,000
13-6-10 477,000
4-7-10 558,000
15-8-10 460,000

It is an average over the show. For example, a lot more people would watch the breakfast shows for short periods, i would say they may even reach a million on some days. But they watch at different times for different lengths and that is averaged out at 350k-ish. I guess it is the same.

Either way, Dancing does its job giving Seven eyeballs during the evening over a long period of time.

Nine missing The voice. They should still win this week but next week is far from a certianty with the Voice once a week.

Edited by InTheWild, 30 April 2012 - 11:28 AM.

[greysfan]

Block did pretty well for its first Sunday outing and ended up helping 60 Minutes.

Yeah but how many of those people tuned in thinking they were getting The Voice? Seven had a good Sunday night with Dancing rebounding. Will they win the week? I doubt it but in the TV landscape we are in anything and everything is possible. It will all depend on how The Voice goes tonight. Speaking about tonight, Revenge is great tonight but Seven have put the best episode so far against The Voice. I hope it can do decently 1.3m would be good.

Edited by greysfan, 30 April 2012 - 01:15 PM.

[Johnson28]

DWTS, Modern Family and New Girl had substantial rebounds with The Voice out of the way.
The AFL did well in Adelaide and Perth but posted lower than average numbers in Melbourne. Seems that matches involving non-Victorian teams on a Sunday afternoon does not rate.

[TelevisionAU]

Yeah but how many of those people tuned in thinking they were getting The Voice?

yeah, and?

I think it would be apparent pretty quickly to even the dimmest viewer that The Block is not The Voice and that The Voice wasn't on. Nothing is therefore forcing them to sit through The Block for an hour. If they end up choosing to stay with The Block then good for them. But if there was a 2 minute spike at the beginning of the show of people expecting something else then surely the average over the remaining 58 minutes would even out that spike.

[-David-]

Obviously all The Voice viewers were not listening at the end of last episode when they mentioned it would be back Monday. I'm sure The Block's ratings have nothing to do with it. Or. People just weren't listening to Nine last week.
