I originally read this headline as…..The Voice has double the audience of House Rules. High Stakes on Tuesday night.
I thought, that’s a bit dramatic. What a difference a colon can make.
That is all.

In the wash-up who really cares who watches what and what does it matter about what TV station achieved what figure and that TV station achieved that figure. The lesser stations became also-rans and disappeared up their own channel selector. (In 60 years they have never asked me what I watch anyway).
Why is so much effort in hours and mathematical calculation spent on analysing supposed goggle box viewing on a daily basis for no productive reason that will have any effect or contribution to Australia’s gross domestic product or any other benefit in the financial scheme of things.
It would be far more advantageous for us all to learn about such things like how many apprentices achieved distinction in their trade aspirations on a daily basis. How the future prospects of advancement in solar panel knowledge will provide us with unending power sources. Or that the quality of education is the solution to our countries prosperity.
The inane back-slapping and football like score settling of the so-called nightly and week audience winners is a pathetic inditement on Australian intelligence.
Does the broadcast of daily robberies and murders contribute to Australian social fabric, or how many bricks were manufactured by the various brick manufacturers this week?
I really believe there are many other activities and far more important issues that would require us to pore over the results with an energising sense of enthusiasm than being bombarded with nightly/weekly TV ratings that will have little or no effect on most Australians lives.

Hi EM,
You wouldn’t be the first person to think “That’s a bit dramatic”, when I’ve told a story, so I kind of wish that’s the headline I’d gone with now.
Thanks for stopping by,

urrmmmmm…I think you are missing the point here. Ratings offer a metric system by which advertisers buy too….regardless if you really care, there is an economy that trades off it. I don’t think you really get it. Nice try though.
