The Newcastle Ratings Week 22, week ending 30 May 2009

With the Newcastle Ratings this week, some interesting shows pop up. Apart from our weekly NBN News favourite, its changed focus from Underbelly, shows such as Find My Family or the common contender The Zoo, to mixing it up with the ABC programs. Masterchef on SC TEN is still managing to stay in the top ten each week it airs and also an old favourite, Getaway, has crept back into the chart. Maybe that’s got something to do with people dreaming of a holiday, that at the present time is unachievable?

The Stations Ratings are also quite fascinating, well the battle for second, third and fourth place, between Prime, SC Ten and ABC is anyway. SC Ten has finished a strong 2nd while ABC actually pipped Prime. I can’t remember the last time that happened.

Hmmm, Should Prime be worried?
