I’m a Celebrity absence sees Ten’s share tumble as ABC news special on Malcolm Fraser draws 548,000
Channel Ten’s share of TV viewers almost halved last night from the previous Sunday as the absence of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here saw its audience slip below 10 per cent on a dismal night for the network.
Last Sunday the final of I’m a Celebrity saw Ten take 17.7 per cent. But its share last night tumbled to 9.9 per cent, with Shark Tank’s metro audience at 7.30pm collapsing from 973,000 last week – later corrected to 856,000 to account for the overrunning of I’m a Celebrity – to 638,000.
Ten’s US musical drama series Empire, which aired at 9.30pm, attracted a paltry 142,000 – making it the 75th most watched show of the evening, whilst two new episodes of sitcom Modern Family from 7.30pm managed 486,000 and 565,000 viewers respectively.
I’m thinking – what with all the LOL cats on YouTube, and similar click bait, why would even as many as 140,000 waste their time on Ten??
with all the hoopla about the great australian talent, we cant even sustain three commercial network. it wil be a two horse race if ten folds.
