State of Origin audience down 228,000 on last year
The first State Of Origin match of 2011 delivered an audience of 2.227m for Nine on Wednesday night.
This compared to an average audience of 2.455m last year.
The major point of difference in last night’s schedules compared to last year was the presence of Australia’s Got Talent on Seven, which rated 1.286m according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam.
Ten’s Masterchef was well down on its numbers on Origin I night last year. Yesterday it rated 1.236m, compared to 1.687m last year.
Angry boys had a big drop. Super flat last night.
Angry Boys is a little disappointing, so doesn’t surprise me.
As for Rugby League, it’s a shit game. No wonder there’s a drop off.
Angry Boys just isn’t funny. It’s puerile and juvenile, but not funny. Lilley seems to have run out of ideas and replaced creativity with crudeness – inane swearing and impersonating (yes, impersonating, not satirising) bogan dickheads doesn’t equal entertainment.
Origin last night was awesome. Angry Boys just plays out like bad ‘theatre sports’ at a boy’s home. Which is a shame, really.
It will continue to drop as long as NSW losses
At least Origin was a good game – there was nothing else! Mindless trash for mindsless people..
Huge game and had a 50%+ share in Brisbane. If the Blues can get a win in number two Number 3 will do a 70 share in Brisbane for the last game!
yeah angry boys so far in the first 3 eps hasn’t had enough material for 1.
it seems lilly has been given too much power and has stuffed it. there is no satire in anything i’ve seen thus far and endless dick and poof jokes don’t cut it.
Last year’s Origin I figure broke the previous record by a big margin so a bit of a drop this year isn’t too surprising. Imagine the figures it’ll do once it becomes an even contest again though!
