Think mkr is on 7 not 9 as is reported a bit pedantic I know. The biggest worry is the terrible overnights on 10 sub 10 share almost every night.
Also lots of readers would be interested in the morning show battle between sunrise and today shows to see if 9 are making any ground with their new lineup – just a thought.

Fine. What about breakfast tv ratings a couple of times a week?

This just goes to show what low standards we Australians have when fake reality shows like MAFS attract such high viewing figures. That also goes for the manufactured crisis that is mkr. I recently watched the Great British Bake Off and the Aussie equivalent. Because of mkr and MasterChef I detest cooking shows but GBBO and GABO were like a breath of fresh air, no back stabbing, no hysterics but my free trial of Foxtel has ended so that’s no more.

Feel like Ten has reached the point where surely they need to try a few really out there shows, the kind of thing that will slowly find a niche – look at the success of Hard Quiz as to what happens when you do that right.
Just taking foreign reality formats is clearly not enough, and probably costing a fortune too.
