| From the Where2sing.com forum: MALLEY BOY: My thoughts on Oz Idol - Viewing audiences have dropped significantly the last season for Oz Idol. Pay TV viewing audience got to see American Idol for the first time, and on the same day as each show is aired in the US, and popularity has picked up here because they have an Aussie expat in the final 24 (now in the final 8), and an Irish expat as well. This is their way of regenerating interest, and perhaps also syndicate and relay the Oz Idol series overseas to make up for the shortfall in last season's local-only revenue.
Also I think they believe that there is a drain of local Oz talent to foreign shores - Oz music / entertainment scene and market are not big enough or not lucrative enough to feed and sustain everyone - maybe this is their way to try and capture back our exported talent.
My two-bobs' worth James. Cheers!
