When Love Comes To Town
Such a boring, boring show….why they persist with it is beyond me.
Last night with no Voice, no Block – makes Nine look like a two show Network???

Back in the day when Kerry Packer ran Nine he did it as a viewer. Nothing went to air unless it was likely to receive audience approval. Sad, but too many TV stations now only put to air budget approved shows.

I didnt know voice was not on thats how much interest I have in the show. Looks like MC will average about 800,000 at the most

I think the biggest question here is why on earth Channel 9 thought this garbage show had any chance of being successful in the first place! Dating shows have been out of fashion for a pretty long time now. Get with the times Channel 9 or you’ll be the next Channel 10!
