The conclusion to Leaving Neverland won its slot on Monday and retained most of its Sunday night viewership. It averaged 5.6% of 25-54s (vs 6.1% the previous night), 5.2% of 18-49s (vs 5.5%), 4.9% of 18-39s (vs 5.4%) and 6.1% of household shoppers with kids (vs 5.1%). The documentary was up about 2-3 ratings points […]

TVNZ 2 is pulling Changing Rooms Australia after presumably a third low-rating broadcast. I haven’t seen last night’s ratings but they must have been dire enough for the network to this evening announce it will drop Changing Rooms Australia after tonight’s airing. Sunday’s scheduled broadcast will be replaced by a movie, Finding Dory, while taking over […]

TVNZ 1’s Dynasties was dethroned on Sunday when it was out-rated by TVNZ 2’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Three’s Married at First Sight Australia. Fantastic Beasts dominated in the 18-39 demographic and MAFS with 25-54s and household shoppers with kids; both see-sawed in the 18-49 and 18-54 demos. Overall, Fantastic Beasts […]

Dynasties’ rule ends tonight (TVNZ 1, 7.00) ahead of the season premiere of Victoria and the ratings winner’s March 27 release on Blu-ray and 4K-UHD. Last week’s penultimate episode crushed the first half of TVNZ 2’s Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens and topped Three’s Married at First Sight Australia in the core 25-54, 18-49 […]

TVNZ 1’s latest British thriller Trauma ends on Sunday — and the network will be glad it was only a three-parter after last weekend’s distressing ratings. Episode two averaged only 1.9% of the network’s core 25-54 viewership while lead-out Ride Upon the Storm limped home with 0.4% — which probably means any other high-minded Europeans […]

Three’s Married at First Sight Australia continued its powerhouse run on Monday, winning its slot in all the key demographics and helping lead-out 9-1-1 to win its hour as well. According to the network, Married at First Sight Australia is the highest rating multi-night reality drama of 2018 amongst 25-54s, with an average year-to-date rating of […]

Three will use a top-rating emergency services drama to help launch its 2018 season in the week starting February 3. 9-1-1, which will air 9.05 Mondays, premiered this month on Fox TV in the US and garnered generally favourable reviews and impressive ratings. Variety reports the premiere posted “solid numbers“, cracking the top 10 in […]

A sharp ratings rise for Three’s NCIS wasn’t enough to beat TVNZ 2’s re-run of cycling thriller Premium Rush on Tuesday. In its third week, the veteran procedural averaged 4.0% of Three’s target audience, 25-54 year-olds, compared to 2.5% the previous week. And with 18-49 year-olds, which is TVNZ 2’s key demographic, it improved from 2.6% – 3.6%. […]

TVNZ 1 is banking on new seasons of I Am Innocent and The Missing to lift its Tuesday night ratings. They go to air tonight from 8.30-10.30, when they will square off against the movies that have restored TVNZ 2’s popularity after 24: Legacy flopped and Three’s new season of NCIS. The latter began last week, […]

TVNZ is replacing its Monday night comedies with new episodes of The Undateables. The latest season of the British reality hit will air 8.45 Mondays from March 27 in place of Life in Pieces and The Mick. The two sitcoms have struggled to rate, even off the back of My Kitchen Rules, allowing Three’s Married […]
