Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Nine no match for Seven

Seven’s night, thanks of course to My Kitchen Rules, Home and Away and especially First Dates, which is now the most successful of the 2016 debutant programs. As a result Seven won the night easily in metro and regional markets in total people and all the major demos. Of the new programs in 2015, First […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: something for everyone

Seven’s night again in metros and regional markets, thanks to My Kitchen Rules, but Wanted was quite as wanted as on its debut a week ago, while Nine’s Here Come The Habibs slowed in its approach to viewers last night and dropped. I’m A Celebrity ran on the spot but didn’t lose ground, helping give […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Seven takes it all

Viewers only wanted one program last night: My Kitchen Rules. And viewers only wanted one network last night: Seven with its main channel leading the night from 5.30pm to 10.30pm. MKR snapped up an average of 2.5 million viewers across the country, including 1.687 million in the metros. It was a million viewers ahead of the […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: MKR romps it in

Nor will it try very hard tonight or Saturday. In fact, Seven issued a release this morning pointing that “Seven Dominates Opening […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: ABC slumps

Seven’s night and week thanks to My Kitchen Rules (which found a new couple to hate) which last night was assisted the second outing of First Dates which added to last week’s solid first up effort, and support from Home and Away (thanks Brax, Seven’s go to lad, next, can he host the faltering Sunrise?) […]

Glenn Dyer's TV ratings: Seven wins again

Seven’s night thanks to Home and Away, My Kitchen Rules (and that couple!) and the debut of the new dramedy, Wanted. Nine did well with its debut of Here Come The Habibs. But withhold judgement about their success until we see how many return next week and the week after. It’s the size of the […]
