This is new: a Tuesday night with two big new shows, and both fared pretty well. Once Upon A Time (1st – 1,305,000) and Bikie Wars: Brothers In Arms (3rd – 1,261,000) both win their timeslot and set the respective series up well. Packed to the Rafters (5th – 1,210,000) suffered a little bit but still rated well. Well enough got Ch7 to win the night anyway. The Block (7th – 1,164,000) won the 7pm timeslot easily ahead of MasterChef Australia (11th – 954,000) and Home and Away (14th – 926,000) and despite Ch9’s promotion of it as the “next big thing”, Two Broke Girls (9pm 15th – 762,000; 9:30pm 18th – 670,000) is performing as it deserves – poorly. The premiere of Survivor: One World (34th – 264,000) at 10pm two days AFTER the series ended in the US is another keen example of the Nine programming mis-step.
Timeslot winners (nationally):
6:00pm: Seven News – Ch7
6:30pm: A Current Affair – Ch9
7:00pm: The Block – Ch9
7:30pm: Once Upon A Time – Ch7
8:30pm: Bikie Wars: Brothers In Arms – Ch10
9:30pm: Missing – Ch7
Channel 7 won the night (24.5%), followed by Channel 9 (20.3%), Channel 10 (18.8%) & ABC1 (11.9%).
Do you know if and when C9 plan to repeat survivor on gem or go and at what time?
In Qld and NSW at least (and allegedly), Survivor will be replayed weekly on GEM on Friday nights at 7:30pm. I believe in other states the NRL is broadcast in this timeslot, so it may pay to look for it elsewhere in the schedule.
Excellent. Thanks and fingers crossed!
Apparently C9 will be starting Survivor One World on Go this Saturday from 2.30pm, then Sunday same time same bat channel. 2 hour sessions each time. After this weekend it’ll be 2 hours from 2.30 every Sunday.
