Ten runs fourth again behind ABC1
The Ten Network’s all-people ratings woes were again on display last night as it ran fourth behind public broadcaster ABC1 once more.
MasterChef: The Professionals again failed to serve up its expected results in its final week with just 524,000 capital city viewers at 21st most watched program of the night, according to preliminary OzTam overnight data.

Good to see ABC2 getting some traction too – proving there is an audience for digital channels that produce original content and don’t just show back to back eps of The Nanny.
Errr….they ‘produce’ the content at our expense, BluTack. You do understand that, right?
That’s why the c-o-m-m-e-r-c-i-a-l channels screen repeats – because they gotta make money.
No such trifling concerns with ABC.
Oh no, the 10 brand..whatever will we do, the 10 brand isnt working…oh no, wait, they just have shit shows that no-one cares about.
Oh and they confuse the crap out of me… when is the new series of Modern family on..6.30 Sunday?…7pm Monday? buggered if i know.. but i do know that it was one of the few 10 shows that i would plan to watch…but i havent seen one ep of the new series.
Great explanation Robbo. That explains why the ABC win the ratings every night by smashing Seven and Nine and have done so for years.
What’s that … they don’t? Never have? Oh dear.
@Robbo – You sound like the sort of bloke who who complains about wasted tax payer money when public broadcasters get small ratings, but also gets in a hissy fit when they start to challenge the FTA’s and do well.
It’s profit at all costs ‘business’ types like you that have alienated the FTA audience and done the damage to the Ten’s of the world.
If your view point is that the only way to run digital channels for a profit is via reruns, I suspect Mr Conroy’s proposed new media regs today are going to come as shock.
Even the most loyal drovers dog eventually has to give up!! MKR may soon head the same way, you can only watch anyone chew a mouth full of food so many times!
maybe the 16-24’s really have stopped watching TV.
now how do we find them?
The fact that MKR severly out rates a way better cooking show in MS proves only one thing.
PEOPLE ARE CRETINS.
Er…. that would be “MC” not Master Shef… shit.
Appears as if my prediction for Mr & Mrs Murder this week (of 515,000) may be quite close to the actual. Not surprised if the 5 minutes I watched it is anything to go by. Simply dreadful. I notice last week Ch10 put an episode (repeat) on late one night. They must have seen Pt2 of my prediction.
