Simpsons, Futurama and Neighbours lead way for Eleven
Eleven’s key daily shows appear to be delivering solid ratings for Network Ten’s newly launched digital channel.
The biggest average ratings in the first week were for new episodes of The Simpsons, which averaged an audience of 326,000 – a strong number for a secondary channel.
Meanwhile, Neighbours, which also made the journey from Ten to Eleven, averaged 226,000. The move is the third Australian channel that Neighbours has called home. It started life on Seven in 1985 before being cancelled and picked up by Ten in 1986.
The other strong performer for Eleven has been animated comedy Futurama.
Average audience for Eleven’s top shows:
- The All New Simpsons 326,000
- All New Futurama 269,000
- Neighbours 266,000
- Stargate Universe Ep 2 227,000
- The Simpsons 222,000

Congratulations to Ten !
Anything that can give the board leverage against Lachlan and James has to be a good thing. It’s wonderful to see such a flourishing Free to Air landscape.
