Yes but when the Prime Minister is on 7.30 after sort of calling an election that’s going to change the equation a bit.

Last year Reno Rumble was an average quality show that was created by Nine as a spoiler program for House Rules. Then as now nobody really knew what the point of it was.
The viewers arent as stupid as Nine thinks they are and have spoken with their remote controls. Reno Rumble, Just like Hot Plate was another piece of rubbish that should have been relegated to the programming scrapheap of 2015.
Stand by for endless repeats of 1 series of Big Bang Theory……

A disastrous result for 9 — 3rd place for the night with audience share almost half that of 7. There will be much handwringing happening in the Nine bunker today….

@billy c …. That was the same for every channel mate, not specific to Reno rumble so not really justification.
Fact is, nine have successfully killed the Reno genre by putting season after season of the block on air. If it wasn’t for the news they’d have literally nothing. But no doubt they’re banking on the voice to rejuvenate their fortunes…problem is, 1 show does not make a schedule.
In my opinion they’re in serious trouble this year.

Maybe those annoying promos are to blame. They put me off. The promo department at Nine should be investigated for insulting the intelligence of the masses.

Never understood the appeal of renovation shows. It’s like watching paint drying, literally. Let’s hope these low ratings signal the end for this type of overhyped programming.
