coverage on TVSA before his debut.
On the night of his first appearance (Monday 9 November), viewership rose by a whopping 30% from the same night the week before. Viewership increased from 774,000 to 1,009,000 viewers.
.
The following night (Tuesday 10 November) the show gained 57% more viewers than the same day the week before (increasing from 706,000 to 1,110,000 viewers).
Isidingo had an average of 807,000 viewers in Week 45, which rose to an average of 1,009,000 this week, a total increase of 26%.
The show hasn't averaged more than a million viewers since early July this year.
Note to all soapie writers: include lots of hot, interracial action to increase your ratings!
