Outsiders by name, outsiders in the ratings
Regular readers of Mumbrella may recall that in November, we were given the news Australia’s oppressed white male audience had been waiting for.
Finally, there was going to be a show for their kind.
Yes, Mark Latham, Rowan Dean and Ross Cameron had been given a Sunday Morning slot on Sky News.
Mark Latham, Rowan Dean & Ross Cameron have a new show on Sky News.

Where is that cry/laughing emoji when you need it??
AT least it’s not costing me money, unlike the rainbow rubbish on the ABC.
You betray your political leanings, I’m afraid.
Poor form.
How much does the existence of the ABC personally cost you, out of interest? assuming you’ve done the numbers. Percentage of annual take home wage is OK.
1c is too much to fund State media.
I mean, we do live in a liberal democracy don’t we?
Too much! Whatever the amount.
Ok Mark.
But it did rate better than the show it was replacing right? That indicates some ROI success, no?
Has anyone got the ratings for Insiders for the same day?
Hi Andrew,
The metro ratings for Insiders were 224,000. Should point out the pay-TV ratings are done on a national basis, those are just for the five main capital cities.
Cheers,
Alex – editor, Mumbrella
Thanks Alex.
Will be good to see how things fare after a decade plus of offsiders.
Good point Andrew – what was the ratings for Offsiders, the ABC Sports talk show?
Outsiders won’t last a decade. So that’s a naïve attempt at a ‘comparison’.
I guess a few of the angry white males have finished washing their Commodores and are at least reading this article. And getting angrier.
Maybe there was some type of sport on the telly in the same time slot? Between working at the top of our respective fields (regardless of whether we are the best at it), being paid more than everyone else, watching sport, dirtying then cleaning our diesel guzzling, environment destroying 4WDs, fishing, boozing and oppressing everyone who is different to us I am surprised us white Australian males have time for anything other than supporting Donald Trump and Pauline Hanson?!
I actually watched it. It was great. These three blokes were terrific. I was almost tempted to do a tweet to win a signed autograph by the boys of Donald Trump’s Masterpiece “Art of the Deal”. Please give SkyNews some time to get a following. It was the only episode to screen this year with hardly no advance publicity. The boys will be back next year and audiences need to be awoken first from slumbering through the very dull ABC Insiders program first, before being given a sparkling crowbar-like bashing to the intellect from the very much alive and humourous Outsiders on Sky! I’ll be watching again. Don’t you worry about that!
And the sad, triggered SJWs jump with joy…
And the sad dude that loves terms like “triggered” and “SJW” desperately commented for attention..
Well, I for one enjoyed watching the show. Very refreshing to have plain-speak from 3 Aussie blokes. Mock them all you want, but I’m betting their show will just grow and grow in strength. The backlash against the elite who think we need to be told what to think and believe, is drawing to an end. Thank goodness.
Mum of 2 white males.
Yes, thank goodness the backlash against the nasty elites who don’t toe the angry white identity politics line is drawing to an end. Trump and Brexit were certainly bad enough to be geting on with, thankyou.
But they ARE the elite!
It will finally become undeniably apparent to the aging white ranters that they lack any appeal to anyone bar themselves, but I fear that this will only happen a second before they crap into their adult diapers in the nursing home and die.
Hi Amanda, mum of 2 white males. You might want to re-read your stuff before you post. I’m assuming “the backlash against the elite who think we need to be told what to think and believe, is drawing to an end” doesn’t mean what you think it does.
Or is Sky News becoming more and more like Fox News?
Yes, yes it is. Michael Miller said as such in his statement last week;
“This acquisition has come about because News Corp Australia recognises the increasing value of Sky News; its employees, the shows they host and the audience it attracts…”
The audience it attracts.. ergo the same voices Cori Bernadi hears in his head 24/7!
I haven’t been impressed in general by Sky News’s programming of late. They seem to have wound back a lot of their actual news gathering, in favour of endless panel discussions and commentary from washed-up politicians.
I guess the old proverb rings true, talk IS cheap.
One of your best Dr, Mumbo.
But there appears to be a typo in the fourth paragraph “…Dean certainly did his bit to stoke the outrage fires, dedicating his Saturday column in the Weekend AFR…”.
Surely you meant “…Dean certainly did his bit to stoke the outrage fires, defecating his Saturday column in the Weekend AFR…”.
Glad to be of assistance.
@Spellchecker you nearly made me choke on my G & T. Please stop with the posts of the day.
Sorry, but I can’t recall Aunty’s Insiders being a diverse rainbow of colour. It’s middle aged white men and a token bitter and biased Nikki Sava.
Why are you joining the ‘white male’ bashing? Until the recent mass immigration trend from Asia and India, Australia has been predominantly Caucasian. You know, history and stuff. These hated white men have built and provided and fought for the country we have today.
I just don’t get it. Watching an adult male trying to be a cool kid and get down with faux-feminists is very cringe.
“You know, history and stuff” LOLEST that’s a high quality argument :p enuff said 😉
A bit rich coming from someone who uses ‘LOLEST.’ Cringe
…..and what do you suppose the daughters, sisters and wives of these country building, war fighting, history making man-heroes were doing during those times, sitting by the pool with a Bellini? Ya knob.
I agree accuracy is very important.. so here’s some for you.
National STV ratings 4/12/2016
0900 INSIDERS 29,070
1000 OUTSIDERS 22,159 (which was more viewers than ABC NEWS 24 in STV homes at 1000)
Angelos, Alex put the 5 city ratings in a reply to a comment above, it was over 220,000 (not counting regionals). Don’t know where your number is from.
Hi Andrew,
Angelos’ numbers are the viewers on subscription TV I believe of that show. My numbers are taken from the OzTam Overnight Metro Ratings. The two are measured separately.
Cheers,
Alex – editor, Mumbrella
The data I provided is apples v apples.
You sure showed them.
Insiders got 10 times the viewers of this show with these Elitist White Males telling people how to think.
OzTAM National STV Panel.
Someone call the whaaaaambulance! There’s been a car crash involving three old white men. No need to rush. The only injuries are to their over-inflated egos.
This kind of sick bitchy piece could only have come from a sick bitchy mind. These three Outsider guys must be quaking with indignation…or shaking with mirth….Wow! They sure hit a nerve!!!
I am glad you are offended,should be more of it.””””
Loved the show and will be tuning in for the next one.
That assessment if totally unfair. The entire population of Australia does not have pay TV and neither do their children.
Wow,who was the genius who came up with the name the ” Outsiders” it should be called the ”’ Three Stooges Down Under”” and Latham is a two faced rat,and the other two should be placed in an institution for their own safety.””””””
Seems Rowan and Mark have been busy today writing comments under their pseudonyms.
Ross obviously hasn’t figured out how to do it yet.
Isn’t Outsiders a great name for this show?
When you have 3 White males regurgitating the opinions of Billionaires you couldn’t get ideas that are more Outside the reality of what it’s like to be an average Aussie.
I love this show. Should have more like these 2. Keep up the great work Rowan and Ross.
