Ten manages 11.5% Pilot Week share as Rove McManus concludes week
The pilot of Rove McManus’ Bring Back Saturday Night pulled 203,000 metro viewers, leaving Ten with an 11.5% main channel share for the week.
Last Sunday Ten launched its new initiative, which featured eight locally-produced shows: Skit Happens, Disgrace, Drunk History, Taboo, Kinne Tonight, Trial By Kyle, Dave, and Bring Back Saturday Night.
Drunk History was by far and away the best show of pilot week.
Beverley McGarvey told Mumbrella she was very happy with the ratings during pilot week. What else is someone on a million plus dollars (2017/2018) going to say. I’m sure the CBS executives are excited, as she is, about running a distant third.
And what does CEO , Paul Anderson, think about it all? Not sure, he’ll need to check with Bev!
CBS needs a big broom to clean out the current “weak” management and put in place a leader with some grunt. After all, Ten’s loyal viewers and hard working staff deserve so much more.
Despite all the well documented flaws, it was really nice to see a major channel trying something new.
For me it was Taboo, but I haven’t seen Drunk History.
