Ten drops Out of the Blue from Sundays

TV Tonight is reporting that Ten has dropped Out of the Blue from its Sunday schedule.

The last time we updated on the ratings, the show had hit an unexpected high of 354,000, but since then the figures have started to drop again and last Sunday's episode was seen by only 216,000.

Ten's whole schedule underperformed on Sunday night and it now seems that its bosses have decided that big shows like Australian Idol need a better lead-in. Don't Forget The Lyrics will now take Out of the Blue's place in the schedule.

As we've said many times before (and Ten has admitted), the only reason the show stayed on air in Australia for so long was because of the local content credit Ten received for showing it. It's unclear whether the remaining episodes will ever be broadcast in Australia, but we'll keep you posted as we hear anything.

Over the next few days, our YouTube channel will continue to be updated with the most recent clips aired in Australia. The last clips we uploaded were the murderer reveal in full. Once it's clear what Ten plans to do about the show, a decision will be made about the future of the channel and whether clips unaired in Australia will be posted.
