Money For Jam delivers for Nine
Nine appears to have got its Wednesday nights back on track with cash saving tips show Money For Jam beating Seven’s World’s Strictest Parents.
Money For Jam debuted with an audience of 1.324m, according to preliminary ratings from OzTam. The figure was just ahead of World’s Strictest Parents’ 1.307m, and more than double the final episode of Australia’s Perfect Couple which ran in the same slot last week.
The show helped Nine to a respectable 27% share, just behind Seven’s 28.6%. However, once Nine’s entertainment channel Go’s audience is added, its share of viewing rose to 28.7%, giving Nine a narrow network win for the night.
Meanwhile, Nine’s Wednesday revival spelled bad news for Ten, which failed to get a single show into the top 15. The 7pm Project slumped to 602,000 and Ten was beaten into fourth place by the ABC.
Wednesday’s nightly channel share:
- Seven: 28.6
- Nine: 27.0
- ABC1: 17.6
- Ten: 16.8
- SBS1 4.8

Really? 1.3m for Money for Jam?
This was an abysmal show. The sort of awkwardly-staged, cracked-smiles, shamelessly-cross-promoted ‘lifestyle’ show that I thought we got rid of in the 1990s.
The most depressing thing about networks playing to the lowest common denominator? Sometimes they actually win. *sighs*

1.3 million of the lowest common denominator?
I’m sure some of them would beg to differ

I am sick to death of lifestyle, infomercials, reality shows and their ilk. Viewers are not dumbos. I find I am spending more time searching for some kind of brain stimulus from the either channels of ABC or SBS. Surprisinmgly, they sometimes do screen very good, thought-provoking stuff…..and, without any hint of a cross-promotion!!!

most commercial TV is for chumps… who wants to be bombarded with advertisements while they watch the same useless drivel.. ohh oh, 1.3m ohhh.
i just want the future to hurry up – internet TV, on demand programs, with a single, targeted advertisement in between.
