homeandawayuk18 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 I always notice on digitalspy that it shows ratings of tv shows. And I always seem to notice HAA always seems to has the lowest rating. And I just wondering is this good enough take for instance friday 26th June's ep Home and Away's 6pm edition on Five interested 982k (6.1%), before Fiver's first look averaged 480k (3.2%). Just shows not that many people watch it as just say 10 years ago used to watch it and how long would it need to drop before they took it off air or will they never happen? What you do guys think?
Dan F Posted June 29, 2009 Report Posted June 29, 2009 Whatever the ratings, when Five bid for the show back in 2000, they did so with the promise to commit to the show for as long as Seven makes it.
alexx Posted June 30, 2009 Report Posted June 30, 2009 Wow those are very very low ratings for the UK! I always thought the show got around 3/4 million! It would be interesting to see what the ratings were at its peak, I assume they must have been quite high since the show won most popular over seas drama a few times in the 90's..
halcyon06 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Does Home and Away get better viewers than Neighbours then in the UK? I'm pretty sure it does in Ireland...It's always something that confused me because I could never work out which soap was more popular. Would I be right in saying that originally Neighbours was more popular than Home and Away, (seeing as it was aired on the BBC and H & A on five) but as the years went on H & A became more popular? And also, was this the same in Australia?

And also, was this the same in Australia? Neighbour's pulls in about 200k more viewers. However Five show the next episode of H&A on one of it's digital channels (Fiver) on the same day and this draws in roughly another 500k viewers. Just shows not that many people watch it as just say 10 years ago used to watch it and how long would it need to drop before they took it off air or will they never happen? All the soaps ratings have declined over the last 10 years, with the advent of widespread multi-channel TV, so the decline is not unique to H&A.

And also, was this the same in Australia? It is that way in Australia yeah, although Neighbours ratings seem to be going steadily up.. I was just looking at the UK ratings here they are for Neighbours and Home and Away Five's offering of Neighbours, during which Bridget continued to struggle with the idea of marrying Declan, was seen by 1.47m (10.6%) at 5.30pm. Fiver's repeat at 7pm added 169k (0.9%). Meanwhile, the resolve to Lou's murder case in Home and Away brought in 1.06m (6.1%) at 6pm on Five. Fiver's first look interested 396k (2.2%) 30 minutes later. Ty's departure from Ramsay Street, meanwhile, was watched by 1.30m (10.8%) at 5.30pm on Five, while Fiver's repeat showing at 7pm added 233k (1.6%). Five's episode of Home and Away, which featured Trey and Nicole filming a sex tape, was seen by 978k (6.6%) at 6pm. Fiver's first look had 455k (3.2%).
oscartg Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 FIVE promote Neighbours alot more than Home and Away. It has a ad campaign during other FIVE shows and there have recently been billboards and magazine campaigns for the show with the "Kylie Who?" tagline. H&A doesn't get any of that.
halcyon06 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 ^Thanks for the info alexx and oscartg. I have noticed before that Neighbours seemed to get more promotion than Home and Away. I only ever remember seeing one add for Home and Away, while around the same time they kept showing the ad for Neighbours (Libby dancing to Let The Sun Shine) although saying that I haven't seen that ad on for a while.
vixstar131 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 thanks for the interesting set of infor.......... i used to watch Neighbours a lot, then i started watching Home and away....... and I personally thought H & A was much better. and as time went by i slowly stopped watching Neighbours, and just watched H & A..........and i have been watching H & A constantly for the past 5-6 years!!!!!!!
