Seven’s night in metro and regional markets, with Nine in second (but it topped the demos, with The Block having another solid night). The regional win by Seven was especially large. 800 Words was the most watched program nationally with 1.637 million viewers and second in the metros. The X Factor was second nationally with […]
A close night in the metros, but Nine eventually prevailed. In the regions it was a different story as Seven won easily. Ten was fourth in both areas, with the ABC and its strong news and current affairs line up in third. The Block had a solid night with 1.421 million national viewers for Nine, […]
Nine won the metros with The Block with its second best audience of this season (another five weeks to go!). In the regions, Seven won overall, but eked out a tiny win over Nine in the main channels. Nine scored in the demos. The Block had 1.6 million national viewers and 1.14 million in the metros, […]
The Verdict on The Verdict? It was better on the second night. More discipline, especially in the panel and host Karl Stefanovic, but it won’t save it on last night’s figures, but Nine should look past those. Nine, Stefanovic and the producers broke the cardinal sin of TV in the debut episode a week ago thanks […]
Nine won the metros with series highs (for the night for The Block and for Celebrity Apprentice. That saw Nine do well in the demos. In the regions, Seven scored a narrow win over Nine, so the placings were reversed. But The Block (872,000 metro viewers) was beaten by The Bachelorette at 7.30pm (879,000 metro […]
A better night for Seven with a reasonable win the metros and a much larger victory in the regionals, thanks to 800 Words and The X Factor (weakish though in the metros), and a better outing for the 6-to-7pm News hour because The Chase Australia at 5.30pm easily beat Hot Seat in the metros especially […]
The X Factor finished fifth in the metros, which given that it was a live performance episode should really have done better, as it did in the regions where the audience of 559,000 not only topped the night, but pushed the program to top spot nationally with 1.576 million people. In fact the regional audience […]
The Bathurst 1000 supercar race dominated viewing on free-to-air and cable TV yesterday. The FTA broadcast on Ten averaged 2.101 million for the presentation on Ten, while the race averaged nearly 1.8 million viewers. On Pay TV, the final stage and presentation averaged 244,000 on Fox Sports. The other big sporting event yesterday — the […]
The Verdict — Nine, 8.40 to, well, 9.45pm-ish. There was more class and better manners on the NRL Footy Show in the same time slot through late Autumn, Winter and early Spring (but the same can’t be said for the offensive AFL Footy Show). Karl Stefanovic should keep his regular job at Today. Q&A has nothing to […]
No wonder TV executives do it tough: here’s Seven with a poor showing in the metros — no real winners, even Sunrise was passed by Today, The Chase Australia at 5.30 pm had a good win over Nine’s Hot Seat, but not enough to help the 6pm news along the east coast, as it has […]
