TAR Australia 5 Ratings
ovalorange:
I don't think Ten has any expectation for this to beat the tennis, particularly as it begins to ramp up towards the finals in the coming weeks. Beating Holey Moley this week will be considered a win for Ten.
But to say this show is on life support when we're winning key demos and five city metros is a really negative outlook. It could be better sure, but across the board numbers at the moment aren't great. I wouldn't say we're on the brink of cancellation at this point, we're doing steady. I'm not sure why you're so focused on the regional and national numbers when none of the TV blogs do; it's not clear why you think they're so important.
You're both clearly focused on a subset of the data, which do what you want... but don't be surprised people here disagree with such a negative outlook given what's come out over the past few days.

Overnight metro data is a subset of the whole data.
That's. How. Data. Works.

There is literally a post on TVTonight from yesterday saying that they're switching to National ratings this year - of course it matters. https://tvtonight.com.au/2021/02/would-networks-prefer-national-ratings-over-metro.html
I think Ten would have been disappointed at it barely topping 500k on the premiere (down 11% from last season's premiere) and even more disappointed that despite their protestations it would catch up on streaming and +7 (a claim actually put to me by Beau Ryan himself), it only gained 95,000 and was nearly half of Holey Moley on the same night - and that doesn't even include the national figures, of which we know HM beat it by ~200k.
To claim I'm "clearly focused on a subset of the data" is ludicrous when I can say the same thing - you're focused on the five-city metro, when Australia is moving to a model that encompasses the whole country. These figures are absolutely being monitored by the network and it's nuts to say they're not.

That insight helps, thanks for sharing. But from that same article:
--- Quote ---Daniel Monaghan, 10 Director of Programming
Network 10 is five metro stations so we talk about that number first and foremost
--- End quote ---
Not sure that aligns so well from what you heard from Beau.
I'm not gonna continue anymore because i don't think we're gonna agree, but will be interesting to see how it plays out in the coming weeks :)x

"Ten focuses on a number that makes them look marginally more competent" and "Beau Ryan thinks giving people the option to catch up is going to improve ratings" are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
