Struggle Street for Prime

20Jul09

The Newcastle Ratings, week ending July 18.

Prime seems to have hit an all time low in the stations ratings for last week. Rating only in the 15% bracket, with constant leader NBN up around the 30′s!
NBN had a good viewing week consisting of Origin and the Evening News, bringing its ratings up quite high. SC Ten is thriving well off its number one program ‘MasterChef’. Prime’s ‘Pack To The Rafters’, weekly makes the top watched programs, but doesn’t seem to be doing enough to push up the channel’s overall ratings.
