Channel 9 is Dunedin's only regional television station. The station has operated in a variety of capacities. At various times it has featured a number of locally-produced programmes, including:
When owned by West Media 175 , the station also broadcast a small amount of programming from other West 175 stations, as well as material from Deutsche Welle and TV3 's ''3 News'' on weekends. AUDIENCE SIZE Channel 9 conducts cumulative audience surveys approximately every 6 months. The last two recorded were in May and October of 2000 . The surveys generally had a survey size of approximately 500. The population size within Dunedin's central urban area is approximately 80,000. Channel 9's highest rating show was Channel 9 news, weekdays at 5:30pm. In October of 2000 it had a rating of 9.8% (6.7% in May) across the total population with an average of 7840 viewers per programme (up from 5360 in May). At 7pm, a repeat of the news picked up 5.8% (down from 8.2%) and at 9:30 the news repeat rated at 3.4% (down from 4.3%). ''The Third Floor'', which was broadcast at 5pm and again at 7:30pm, had an average audience of 5280 and 3120 or 6.6% and 3.9%. The programmes had previously rated 4.0% and 4.7%. COW TV rated an average of 7.0% for its 10pm show (4.2% in May) which is also broadcast five nights a week. Its Saturday and Sunday shows - which are complilations of the weekday programmes - rated at 3.5% and 1.5% respectively. These were introduced after the May survey and hence do not have any comparative figures. The October survey revealed that 37% of respondents said that they could not receive Channel 9 while almost 40% said that they never watched the channel. |
