Midsomer Murders beats The X Factor in Sunday’s ratings
The X Factor’s first Sunday outing was fifth for the night for Seven, with an average audience of 1.287m. It was beaten by genteel drama series Midsomer Murders on ABC1 which attracted an average audience of 1.307m.
Commercial rivals Nine and Ten both had reason to be disappointed too. Nine’s double episode season finale of CSI rated just 729,000 and 753,000. And Offspring fell for Ten, rating exactly 1m, according to overnight metro ratings from OzTam – down about 10% on the previous week.
Meanwhile, Nine’s digital channel Go! had a good Sunday, pulling in an average share of 6.2% – almost double that of SBS1.
Seven still won Sunday, albeit less strongly than the same time last week.

Personally I like the idea of X-Factor but just can’t stand to listen/watch Kyle for any extended period of time… I watched CSI on the IQ instead… terrible brain dead acting is awesome sometimes

Ad to content ratio is way too high on X Factor I know it has to be funded but it feels like there is an ad every 5 minutes

Sunday is a pretty dire night for TV all round. I like Bones and Castle… more comedy than police procedural, though..

I watched, A League Of Their Own the other day. Glorious to see how 9 fucked that up. Do the networks look for all the dramtic peaks and go to ads just before them, only to come back and fill the screen with house ads, just as things get interesting because they don’t know any better or they think we’re all fucking mugs? Lucky there’s media recorders being included in the ratings now… having programmes buffer is the only way to make things watchable. Interesting to see what the ratings would be like without them included. Certainly fewer ads being watched per capita.

@ inq, Can you cut down on the F word. It does nothing to push forward your agenda, however plausiable.
