Foxtel quiet on future of The Face while Ten bullish on Offspring and 24 streams

Foxtel is remaining quiet on the future for Naomi Campbell’s modelling competition The Face Australia after the final episode pulled in just 11,000 metro viewers on Tuesday night.
The modelling competition, which pits teams mentored by Campbell against fellow models Cheyenne Tozzi and Nicole Trufino against each other, concluded on Tuesday night with Olivia Donaldson crowned the winner watched by just 16,000 people nationally, according to OzTam figures. The show was then watched by 25,000 people on Fox8+2 that evening.
Foxtel did not respond to a request for comment on the ratings, and a spokesman said Foxtel has not yet made a decision about a second series. Donaldson’s prize is a contract to be the face of Olay’s Fresh Effects product.
“Meanwhile Network Ten says it has broken records for its online viewing app TenPlay with the early release of its drama Offspring reaching 20,000 downloads in 24 hours, and the 24-hour limited release of the return of 24: Live Another Day clocking up 10,000 streams.”
Downloaded or watched? They’re very different.
10,000 Streams? All well and good, but not all streams are equal. A stream can be 1 minute or 1 hour (or more)
The most important number is how many hours of each program have been watched via catchup. 10,000 streams of 1m each is very different to 10,000 streams of 1 hour each. Also, some broadcasters count a stream as content played between two ad breaks — so a program with five ad breaks would count as five streams IF the video were played from beginning to end. How does channel 10 define “a stream”?
Mumbrella, when are you going to start drilling down on these numbers a bit more and ask the right questions, rather than just blindly republishing the broadcaster’s press release?
Have a look on the Offspring facbook page. Lots of people complaining about the streams not working.
Spot on Really.
Still provides a shittier service than pirate bay.
Has Ten been wrecked enough yet? When does it get snapped up for a song and converted into Fox?
