Ten’s Changing Rooms pulled just 204,000 metro viewers for its premiere episode.
The program, which sees couples swap houses with family, friends and neighbours and decorate key rooms, climbed to just 304,000 when including national figures. It will not be returning to the 7:30pm time slot next week.
Ten’s more popular programs for the evening included Ten News First, with 365,000 metro viewers, and The Project 7pm, with 323,000.
The show had one million viewers less than Nine’s Married at First Sight, which captured a metro audience of 1.290m. Seven’s My Kitchen Rules achieved 766,000 metro viewers.
Nationally the audiences were 1.721m and 1.167m respectively, and Married at First Sight also topped the key advertising demographics, 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54. Seven’s MKR placed second.
Outside of entertainment, the most watched program of the evening was the 6pm news bulletin on Seven, with a total metro audience of 916,000. Nine News, which runs at the same time, captured a metro audience of 838,000. Seven News attracted larger audiences than Nine in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth specifically, while Nine took out Sydney and Melbourne.
The struggle of Changing Rooms left Ten with a 7% main channel share of the night, with ABC, Nine and Seven extending share leads. Nine won the evening with a 25.7% share of audience over Seven’s 21.4%, and ABC’s share was 11.3%. SBS was behind Ten on a 4.6% share.
When including multi-channels, Nine Network grew to a 33.6%, while Seven Network swelled to 30.8%. ABC Network’s share was ahead of Network Ten’s – 15.7% and 13.5% respectively. SBS Network’s share was 6.5%.
When will they get their heads above this so-called reality schlock?
You can fool some of the people some of the time ….. etc.
Television works best when it skillfully combines a wide range of watchable programs.
Get working creatively and diversely, stop revamping individual O.S. success stories, and churning out yet another cooking, love interest, family fun, average joe rivalry show, under the banner of so-called reality. They are not reality, and they are generally very poor fiction.

7 per cent share!
CBS must start to ask some hard questions about Ten’s inept management team. The network has cash to burn after renegotiating overseas deals, licence fees discounts and hundreds of millions in savings after losing the Big Bash rights.
But all this money and very little to show for it. No creative ideas, trotting out the same old programs.
I suppose we can all wait until November for the racing carnival. According to CEO Paul Anderson paying $110m For the rights was money well spent, Really!
Common CBS, step in and take control.

TEN is having a go….and have to date, got more right than wrong. Celebrity in summer was a hit and is still delivering the demos. This format, Changing Rooms, was a risk….but they had a go…..I’d like to see TEN trying more Aussie content…..as CBS, on its own, may very likely, regurgitate simply what they do in the US & that would guarantee a 7 share every night!

TEN is a mess. Clean out of existing staff should of happened when CBS took over. Its time to get serious – like their old branding “TEN – SERIOUSLY”

Changing Rooms – Talk about a poor-man’s effort. So cringy and bogan. No wonder no one is watching. Pathetic.
