Greater than half of viewers tuned into the assorted non-main channels of the 5 free-to-air networks final evening. Unhappy state of affairs.
The spotlight from TV yesterday? That the second cricket check with the Windies begins in Adelaide this afternoon — it’s a pink ball check.
So, about final evening: if I advised you the assorted non-main channels of the 5 free-to-air networks had a complete share of 36.9%, you’d have a good suggestion how unattractive the evening was. Collectively, extra individuals watched repeats and lower-tier programming on these channels than watched repeats and lower-tier programming on the primary channels.
And if you happen to take out the 6-7.30pm information broadcasts and the ABC’s 7.30 from the 5 principal channels, then the precise viewers watching non-news programming final evening was laughably low.
