Australian Open down on 2020 tvtonight.com.au - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from tvtonight.com.au Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
It’s only the second week of the 2021 TV year and already networks are playing hardball -not just on air where viewers expect a clean fight- but behind the scenes too.
Backgrounding journalists on a rival’s ratings performance is happening with regularity in 2021. Commercial networks are drawing attention to how a rivals’ programming is under-performing -all off the record, of course.
This comes at a time when Free to Air continues to fragment and Streaming platforms invest limited amounts in local content.
While friendly rivalry between networks has long been a characteristic of the Australian market,
TV Tonight recently asked each network whether it’s ok to sling mud, or whether it’s better to unite for a common cause?
The
Australian Open gets underway next Monday, spilling into ratings survey. This has led to specials this week from Travel Guides and
Married at First Sight: Grand Reunion -but the 2021
MAFS series formally kicks off on February 22nd.
“She is very candid, talks in a very straight, matter-of-fact way”
Nine Program Director, Hamish Turner. “We’ve got a new
MAFS expert in Alessandra Rampolla. She’s a certified clinical sexologist who brings a lot to the table. She is very candid, talks in a very straight, matter-of-fact way and really opens up the participants in terms of discussing intimacy, and ensuring that they’ve got that part of their relationship on track.
