The Verdict sheds 153,000 viewers on second outing as The Bachelorette helps Ten win night
Karl Stefanovic’s new panel talk show The Verdict shed 153,000 viewers on its second outing, posting a metro audience of 369,000, down from its debut of 522,000.
The Nine show, which aired at 8.30pm, was thumped by Seven’s Highway Patrol which grabbed 608,000 metro viewers while both shows were out-rated by Ten’s Gogglebox, airing from 9pm, which grabbed 674,000 metro viewers.
Gogglebox was up on last week’s audience of 559,000, and along with The Bachelorette which won the night with 930,000 viewers according to OzTam metro overnight ratings. helped Ten to an audience share win for the evening with 19.6 per cent while Seven claimed second place with a share of 17.1 per cent, ahead of Nine’s share of 16.9 per cent.
No shows over a million. That’s bad, right?
Any chance that, notwithstanding the low audience, The Verdict is actually a profitable show given it would be so darn cheap to make?
I think verdicts in ….its sh#@thouse.
I prefer the original QnA program on the ABC which has more journalism than jingoism. The Verdict is in keeping with the 9 network’s other shows that aim at the middle of the bell curve of our population.
I guess it beats the programs that take video from the vault and wrap it up in a category of worlds best / worst / moments / decades / turning points / car crashes / youtube / babies face planting / wardrobe malfunction collections.
Mesmerised deserved a much better audience than that. Show was absolutely hilarious. I just don’t think there was enough publicity in the lead up to it.
I hope the ABC doesn’t give up on josh Thomas and please like me. I don’t understand what the issue is Australians have with josh Thomas? Is it because he’s smart funny and clever?
So, 674,000 bogans watched a show made for bogans featuring bogans watching shows made for bogans.
How do you get these data & how accurate are they? I don’t really know many people who watch commercial TV’s
@Anty. I think the best word to sum up Josh Thomas is “irritating.”
Mark Latham is particularity bad on The Verdict. It’s borderline unwatchable.
