Going by last nights game & ratings, the sky is the limit…

No. 1 network: Network Ten

No. 1 main channel: TEN

•Cricket - BBL (Game 3, Session 2): 1m
•Cricket - BBL (Game 3, Session 1): 875k

•First Dates UK: 550k
•Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares: 475k

No. 1 multi-channel: ONE

•The Polar Express (9Go!): 210k
•Deck The Halls (ELEVEN): 175k

Might not crack the million considering the game isn’t as close but will surely still do big numbers and I am sure Ten will continue to win the night.

Cricket for WA viewers & short period for QLD viewers, will lead to another whopping share for ONE…

•The Santa Clause (7Flix): 175k
•Christmas With The Kranks: 150k

The first game normally rates lower than the second even session 2.

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: Scorchers v Strikers - session 1: 0.85m, session 2: 0.61m

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 won’t be cricket fatigue among viewers for the next two weeks or so.

As opposed to tennis (plus MKR promo) fatigue for a month :smirk:

I’m already sick of Channel 10’s promos (BBL cricket), Channel 9’s promos (Test cricket) & will be of Channel 7’s by the time the Australian Open hits :weary:

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 too…

•Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 3): 1.1m
•Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 2): 800k
•Cricket - Second Test (Day 1, Session 1): 650k

•Cricket - BBL (Game 6, Session 2): 825k
•Cricket - BBL (Game 6, Session 1): 725k

•RBT (repeats - average): 600k
•The Big Bang Theory (repeats - average): 550k
•Jaws (movie - Ch 7): 425k
•Mission Impossible (movie - Ch 9): 350k

Great match. Should rate over 1 mill. Big Bash not the test.
