CRAM dips to 285,000 as Home & Away and RBT draw in audiences
Thursday night saw Seven’s Home and Away and a repeat of Nine’s RBT dominate the entertainment space, as Ten’s new game show CRAM fell to 285,000 metro viewers.
OzTAM’s overnight preliminary ratings reported Seven’s Home and Away, which began at 7pm, as the entertainment show with the largest audience last night, at 632,000 metro viewers followed by Nine’s RBT repeat, which attracted an audience of 549,000.
CRAM is Ten’s new gaming show
While Ten noted CRAM had sat within the top 20 shows of the 25-54 demographic, the show has fallen by more than 200,000 since its premiere a month ago. It sat just outside of the overall top 20 last night.
Last week it had a metro audience of 346,000.
Ten had more success in the later time slot with the movie Daddy’s Home averaging 391,000 across the five metro cities, ahead of Nine’s Truth and Lies: The Menendez Brothers.
However both shows were out-rated by Seven’s The Nation’s Favourite Elton John Song, which managed 543,000.
The most watched program of the night was Seven News at 920,000 metro viewers. It beat Nine News’ 800,000 at 6pm. Meanwhile ABC’s most watch program was its news offering, which attracted 693,000 across Australia’s major cities.
Seven won the night in overall share at 20.9%, comfortably ahead of its nearest competitor Nine, which had a share of 16.4%.
Ten’s share was 12.2%, ABC reported a share of 10.5% and SBS’ was 6.2%.
No surprise here. CRAM is banal, unfunny and hard to watch … much like Peter Helliar himself, in my opinion. Same goes for Have You Been Paying Attention? These shows seem to be intended less as entertainment for the audience than they are as vehicles for the careers of B-grade (and worse) comedians.
