A boring Tuesday night in late ratings with Nine, Seven and Ten slowly winding up their final ’tent poles’ of the year in the shape of The Block (1.217 million nationally last night), The X Factor (1.392 million) and TBL Families (1.153 million). And that was the night. The final session of the second cricket […]
More fabulous batting from Ross Taylor, Steve Smith and Adam Voges yesterday and last night made Nine the network of the day, and that wasn’t just me and John Howard (although he was at a black tie dinner last night at the old Olympic Stadium for the 10th anniversary of the Socceroos win that put […]
Ratings were confused last night by the specials on the Paris killings. So the Second Test cricket from Perth (the very strong Kiwi fightback) pushed Nine to a win on the night. The batting was fabulous, as good as David Warner’s assault on Friday. Nine won the metros easily and it was almost a draw […]
A below average Thursday night which, like so many others in recent weeks, had nothing really to attract people. So much so that the combined metro share for the 11 digital channels was 31.9%, greater than any shares for the main channels (Nine and Seven had 18.2% shares for their channels). In other words, a […]
Nine’s night in metro markets as the The Block (1.409 million national viewers and number one nationally and in the metros, but not in the regions) again dominated, giving Nine the win overall in the main channels and dominance in the major demos. Seven News did well at 6pm, helped by The Chase Australia’s 5.30pm bit. […]
The X Factor (12.544 million) did well for Seven, especially in regional markets, but a combination of The Block (1.317 million nationally), and the fresh episode of The Big Bang Theory (1.392 million) saw Nine do better in metro markets. And that was the night. Seven’s Blindspot tonight at 8.30pm is the Fall hit in […]
Nine and Seven shares the spoils in metro markets last night, sort of. Seven won overall, but Nine snuck home in the main channels and had a lock on the major demos thanks to The Block. But in the regions it was a very different story with again Seven an easy winner overall, in the […]
The reno show manages its biggest win yet.
A strong performance by The Block last night gave Nine a narrow win over Seven in the metros and a stronger performance in the demos. In the regions, Seven again won fairly easily. The Block finished on top of the national rankings with 1.425 million, one step higher than its metro performance where it averaged […]
The race that really stopped the nation (but was that a Melbourne suburban train I saw racing alongside Flemington on as the Cup field trudged up the back straight? Yep, so not quite all of Australia stopped). But for the romance, drama and sheer joy of the win yesterday by Michelle Payne and Prince of […]
