They were pretty off. We all have stinker of predictions. You have had a few as well

Thursday the 22nd of December 2016
Going by last nights game & ratings, the sky is the limitâŚ
No. 1 network: Network Ten
No. 1 main channel: TEN
â˘Cricket - BBL (Game 3, Session 2): 1m
â˘Cricket - BBL (Game 3, Session 1): 875k

â˘Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares: 475k
No. 1 multi-channel: ONE
â˘The Polar Express (9Go!): 210k
â˘Deck The Halls (ELEVEN): 175k
Might not crack the million considering the game isnât as close but will surely still do big numbers and I am sure Ten will continue to win the night.
Friday the 23rd of December 2016
Cricket will again dominate, double header tooâŚ
No. 1 network: Network Ten
No. 1 main channel: TEN

Cricket for WA viewers & short period for QLD viewers, will lead to another whopping share for ONEâŚ
â˘Jingle All The Way (9Go!): 200k
â˘The Santa Clause (7Flix): 175k
â˘Christmas With The Kranks: 150k
The first game normally rates lower than the second even session 2.
Friday December 23
Due to time difference, I think session 2 of second game tonight will rate lower than other sessions due to the late finish, but will rate well in Perth.
BBL: Sixers v Hurricanes - session 1: 0.65m, session 2: 0.74m
BBL: Scorchers v Strikers - session 1: 0.85m, session 2: 0.61m

Saturday the 24th of December 2016 (Christmas Eve)
Carols will dominate on Ch 9âŚ
â˘Carols by Candlelight: 1.5m (575k in Melbourne)
Saturday December 24
Carols will totally dominate TV with no live sport on FTA or pay TV. Maybe Cricket Australia should consider holding a BBL match on Christmas Eve night instead of Christmas Day?
Carols by Candlelight 1.24m
Carols By Candlelight: 1.1 million
Saturday 24th December
Carols By Candlelight-1.46m
Monday December 26
Hopefully there wonât be cricket fatigue among viewers for the next two weeks or so.
Cricket: Australia v Pakistan 2nd test
session 1: 0.71m, session 2: 0.84m, session 3 void (washed out)

Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race 0.51m
BBL: Hurricanes v Stars
session 1: 0.65m, session 2: 0.72m
How could that be possible
As opposed to tennis (plus MKR promo) fatigue for a month
Iâm already sick of Channel 10âs promos (BBL cricket), Channel 9âs promos (Test cricket) & will be of Channel 7âs by the time the Australian Open hits

Monday the 26th of December 2016 (Boxing Day)
Unfortunanately for Ch 9 (just like we say about Ch 7 with their major sport events), the Boxing Day Test at the MCG is during daytime, so out of prime-time. Ratings should still be massive with most people chilling at home. BBL has a perfect timeslot & no competition tonight tooâŚ
â˘Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 3): 1.1m
â˘Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 2): 800k
â˘Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 1): 650k
â˘Cricket - BBL (Game 6, Session 2): 825k

â˘The Big Bang Theory (repeats - average): 550k
â˘Jaws (movie - Ch 7): 425k
â˘Mission Impossible (movie - Ch 9): 350k
Great match. Should rate over 1 mill. Big Bash not the test.
Turdall I agree, such a surprise how the test & BBL have turned-out todayâŚ
my amended predictions
BBL session 2: 1.05m
Test (I assume sessions 1 & 2 will be coded?) S1: 650k, S2: 800k, S3 void
Tuesday December 27
Cricket: Australia v Pakistan 2nd test
session 1: 0.65m, session 2: no play, session 3: 0.84m
BBL: Sixers v Scorchers
session 1: 0.56m, session 2: 0.68m
Tuesday the 27th of December 2016
Sadly for the Boxing Day Test, Day 2 again saw on/off rain (3hr break at one stage) & was again abandoned, affecting interest/crowds/ratingsâŚ

Not sure how the Big Bash will go. Perhaps under 600k for session 2.
