Hawaii Five-O fans will have to wait until at least next year to see new episodes on TV3 but the network is looking to fast-track two of its most popular US dramas, Sons of Anarchy and The Blacklist. The irony for Five-O fans is TV3 is holding back the ’60s crime reboot until it can […]

Replacing Crisis and the latest season of Hawaii Five-O with an 18-year-old Adam Sandler comedy helped to stop the ratings rot for TV3 on Tuesday. Indeed, week-on-week in peak-hour TV3 was up in all the key demographics, and notably so with viewers aged 18-39, 18-49 and 25-54. Over two hours Happy Gilmore averaged 4.3% – […]

TV3 today announced it was bringing forward a week the season premieres of HD factual-ent hits Prison Families and Family Secret. The two shows will screen back-to-back 7.30 Wednesday from July 30, replacing low-rating re-runs of Destroyed in Seconds and Crime Exposed. The changes follow TV3’s abrupt rescheduling of Crisis to late night and the […]

TV3’s Crisis continues to build after a disastrous debut two weeks ago — and in the face of fierce competition from the last half-hour of My Kitchen Rules. Tuesday’s episode averaged 2.7% – 5.2% of the major demographics, which wasn’t great but was better than the previous week’s 2.6% – 3.5%, especially among household shoppers with […]

Crisis improved in its second week for TV3 but Tuesday’s episode still rated poorly and even was beaten by lead-out Hawaii Five-O in some key demographics. Even if the conspiracy thriller wasn’t such a dire drama, it would still be a hard sell given it’s up against the tail end of TV2’s  top-rating My Kitchen Rules. […]

TV3’s new flagship HD drama Crisis proved to be just that in the ratings. Tuesday’s two-hour premiere was a disaster, averaging just 1.3% – 3.8% of the major demographics. The network’s confidence in Crisis was surprising, given the conspiracy thriller has been axed in the US and the like-minded The Event bombed so badly a […]
