16 SEVEN'S FOOTY SHOW (Johns in Sydney) Seven 754,000 249,000 (Sydney) 214,000 139,000 (Brisbane) 86,000 66,000

Most interestingly it smashed the Footy show in Sydney (+58k) and Brisbane (+32k).
Channel 7 will deem that a success. Curiously though 214K tuned in in Melbourne. That is definitely a bonus and should be telling any broadcaster that League has a viable audience south of the border.

That's incorrect on both parts.

Firstly, the Channel 7 footy show that airs in Melbourne is an AFL show involving Peter Heliar. That's the show that 214k in Melbourne were watching.

Secondly, while more people watched Matty Johns in Sydney the Footy Show, as they're in different timeslots that's irrelevent. What matters is what show won it's respective timeslot.

Matty Johns finished 3rd in Sydney out of the commercial channels, while The Footy Show won their timeslot.

 

[Fui!!!]

Overall, Ch 9 footy show is ahead. But the Matty Johns show is doing good.

That's a good thing, because I like it

Considering it was on at 7:30 instead of 9:30 like the Footy Show, it's not really that much of smashing.

I don’t want to give the plot away on next weeks show, but on page 3 of yesterday’s Inner West Courier, Alby Sandlas AKA as Matty Johns is wrestling with the Wests Tigers mascot in the Italian Forum at Leichhardt,

 

[Raidersrawesome]

The show is crap and unfunny.

And yes I dont watch it , I came to that conclusion after 1 show and 10min of the second.

 

[The Tank]

I'm glad the ratings don't seem too bad for both Matty and because it's an "RL" show. But I won't be watching again. I don't mind a bit of fun, even heaps of fun. Matty's format would actually be brilliant if the funny parts were...um... funny.

That pretty much sums up the whole deal.

Just make it even remotely funny guys and might be a semi-hit.

Otherwise, just talk footy.

Matty Johns finished 3rd in Sydney out of the commercial channels, while The Footy Show won their timeslot.

Yep. That's the key point in all of this.

I can see The Matty Johns show being shifted to later in the night, but it would be a mistake for it to go head-to-head with the Footy Show.

The Footy Show would win easy. However, if Matty Johns could somehow poach DJ Cindee then it might be a different story.

 

[Tipster]

Wasn't the idea for the Matty Johns show to be on a later timeslot eventually?

 

[Rockin Ronny]

Wasn't the idea for the Matty Johns show to be on a later timeslot eventually?

Wasn't the idea for it to be funny? Even mildly entertaining?

I'm waiting for Johns to have a Vizard mug of coffee or a little bald turd to run the band like Letterman.

 

[Notell]

One thing overlooked as well is Webcke. He has:


(a) failed miserably in living up to his touted potential

(b) failed miserably in providing anything at all remotely close to entertainment OR interest. No matter what you seek from this show, Webcke in no way delivers it


I watch this show for the two good parts:

(1) Paul Kent in Controversy Corner
(2) The highlights from Rex Mossop's Controversy Corner

Fortunately, the utilisation of my video-recorder means that I can now fast-forward to the good 4 minutes of the show.

P.S. For all those saying that the Matty Johns show is supposed to be entertainment, you should urge the moderators then to move this discussion to a non rugby-league forum.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I laugh when told Shane Webcke has brains

 

[Eels Dude]

Agree on Webke. It's a shame because he comes across as a smart bloke normally. He's wasted on the show in it's current structure. It's sooooo obvious he'd reading off autocue 90% of the time, even with his tips. It's like watching a really bad newsreader.

 

[Chook Norris]

I wonder if they will spend any more than 5 minutes on the Storm controversy...

 

[pcpp]

The show has been extended until 8:45pm

Looks like they won't have to cancel the hilarious Don Kirk, Manchild and Explorer skits after all

[Meanie]

They'd do well to ditch the skits tonight. Considering this will be the first footy show on tonight, viewership will be quite high.

 

[austyphoon]

Mark Geyer on The Matty Johns show??

Thought he was contracted to Nine?

 

[Ladmate]

Extended controversy corner. Awesome.
