Ten’s all-female chat show The Circle beats Kerrie-Anne
Ten’s new morning chat show The Circle has claimed an early ratings victory, surging ahead of Nine’s Mornings with Kerri-Anne after just its second episode.
While Seven’s The Morning Show remained in the lead with 163,000 viewers, The Circle – which goes to air an hour later than its morning show rivals – attracted 85,000. This was followed by Mornings with Kerri-Anne with 77,000.
The Circle launched on Tuesday with 78,000 viewers. It was already up from its predecessor, 9am with David and Kim, which last year averaged 68,000.
Meanwhile, Seven led the ratings night with its news and current affairs programs, while its 7Two channel pushed into the lead among the digital channels.
Out of interest, what were the figures for Lost on 7Two?
The Circle beat a “best of” KAK by a few thousand, let’s see how they go when KAK is live 5 days a week after the Olympics.
How do the numbers compare with The Catch-up?
Have a look at yesterday’s figures:
TMS 150,000
KAK 101,000
Circle 50,000
I was watching the Circle show….and had an open mind until the main female…don’t know her name….bagged Pauline Hanson. It is ok to have viewpoints but it is not good to air them especially when you consider the facts that they did a poll on msn about whether people were glad to see Pauline go to the UK or not…..65% of the votes 52,000 people said they were not glad to see her go, and the balance said they were.
Given these numbers ….you have now ostracised 1/2 your audience. I don’t think you will last because you have sponsors that finance your show….and they won’t be happy with your rating…
You might have a degree in science, but unfortunately you don’t have a degree in common sense. Bye
Are the people who make these statements for real. Your making a ridiculous comparison. As KAK is basically repeats of last year, it is pointless comparing ratings with it. It is just like the stupidity of networks that judge the ratings of programs in the “non ratings” period. You clearly can not judge any program fairly during this time. Unless of course it is all bull dust .
The circle, Are you for real.
Give us back 9am with beautiful Kim. Happy, natural and easy to watch and relate to.
Bring back Kim
Any figures for 7Two, GO! etc are pointless. Only people with digital receivers can watch those channels. I know plenty of people who do not have digital and are missing shows they want to watch. The ratings system is completely useless.
