Andy Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Sundays take a desperate turn as housewives move in Sun Herald 15 January 2006 Devoted fans of Desperate Housewives will be in for a surprise when Australia's highest-rating series returns next month. Seven insiders say the network is expected to shift the top rating series from Monday nights to Sundays in a strategic blow to boost Seven's lacklustre Sunday evening ratings. Having dealt a savage blow to Nine's Who wants to be a Millionare on Mondays, the ladies of Wisteria Lane are expected to take on Nine's winning Sunday night line-up that includes the flag-ship 60 Minutes and ratings juggernaut CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. With the ratings period to resume on February 12, networks are expecting the most competitive season in years. Market leader Channel Nine finished on top last year but lost share to a reinvigorated Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrychris Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I would much prefer it sticking to Mondays. Changing the days is a big risk by 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 They were rating perfectly fine when they were up against who wants to be a millionare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Seven is currently losing badly on Sunday nights. Seven won Monday nights with other shows besides Desperate Housewives (Grey's Anatomy). Desperate Housewives is the #1 show in Australia - If people are going to follow any show to another night, it would be this one. The move makes sense to me.

Drew Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 But on a Sunday? I think Grey's would of went better on a Sunday. Anyway has this already been decided or they're just thinking this at the present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
