Apologies if the title is slightly misleading. I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on this. Do you believe 2018 is the first year that free-to-air has truly been impacted by streaming services?
Last night, two shows that received ratings of just 567K and 556K respectively were in the Top-10 list of most watched shows, despite the fact that we are just a few weeks away from the start of Winter. Just 12-18 months ago, that would have been unheard of. Established formats, such as The Voice, House Rules, My Kitchen Rules and Masterchef, have all experienced a decline in viewership over the past few months. I guess you could make a point that viewers are simply becoming fatigued by the reality-TV format, although i'm not sure if that is truly the case.
