I guess that is fair enough considering last year it had no cricket as competition. There will surely be a drop of some kind considering there is the added extra competition of another Grand Final but I don’t think it will drop by that much.
I think the tennis will get around 1.2 and the cricket around 1 mill.
“Centurion” (that didn’t even air in most markets) got 918k last night 
Seven’s biggest movie in a few years?
LOL
Sunday January 29
The rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will really dominate TV viewing tonight. The new season of I’m a Celebrity will attract less viewers than last year.
Australian Open: men’s singles final
preview show 0.67m, match 2.5m, post-match presentations 2.1m
Bondi Rescue season premiere 0.36m
I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! season premiere 0.73m
Movie: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel premiere 0.34m
60 Minutes season premiere 0.61m
Lethal Weapon series premiere 0.45m
Movie: American Sniper premiere 0.36m
Why are Ch 9 even bothering to air premieres of 60 Minutes, the Lethal Weapon TV series & a movie?
It will hardly take away any viewers tonight at all, considering the occasion…
Competition. Not everyone is into sport and not everyone is into celebrity reality.
Would you rather them play a blank screen? I will probably record 60 minutes to watch at a later date… Most people have PVR’s.
I get that.
I was more meaning why wouldn’t Ch 9 hold off on Lethal Weapon (for example), which could get a much better audience away from the Australian Open Men’s Final.
Whereas I’m A Celebrity has a better chance tonight, as shown last year.
Between 7:30pm & whenever the match finishes, I can’t see a rival program rating above 400k
Just because Seven has the Australian Open Men’s Final while Ten has the Season 3 debut of “I’m A Celebrity” doesn’t mean that Nine should give up and air nothing!
I have never said nor implied that.
Air episodes of Big Bang or a movie, etc?
Sunday the 29th of January 2017
Huge night for Ch 7, with a tennis match for the ages (Federer vs. Nadal, the fairytale) and hopefully it’s a great match, daylight will be second, which isn’t flash for ■■■■■■■■…
•No. 1 network: Seven (could get close to ~50%)
•No. 1 main channel: Ch 7
•Australian Open (Men’s Final - Presentation): 2.2m
•Australian Open (Men’s Final): 2m
•Australian Open (Men’s Final - Preview): 775k
•I’m A Celebrity (season premiere): 675k

•60 Minutes (return): 550k
•Lethal Weapon (series premiere): 375k
•“American Sniper” (movie premiere - Ch 9): 300k
No. 1 multi-channel: ?
Lots of movies on the multi-channels tonight, good alternatives to thise not interested in tennis, should be fairly close amongst them…
Maybe the fact that I’m a Celeb has rated well has encouraged Nine to not just air repeats and give up…
Anyway…
I’m a Celeb: Enter the Jungle 900k
I’m a Celeb: Main Show 700k
Australian Open Final 1.7
60 Mins 500k
If it sheds 600k from last years premier I would consider this to be the last season for I’m a Celeb.
Well, I will (as I imagine many would) be DVR-ing it tonight, as I (no offence to ■■■■■■■■) don’t want to miss the first hour of the Australian Open Men’s Final 
I can’t be stuffed with that rubbish anymore after last nights poor coverage. I will refuse to listen and watch that coverage. Enjoy though.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
That’s a shame to hear Turdall.
It was the worst coverage of any event I have ever watched. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I’m A Celeb should still crack the million - won’t be in the 1.3s like last year with FedvNad though.
I’m a celeb will hold up well against the AO. But AO will be double if not triple it’s total people I reckon.
Monday January 30
The reality ratings battle begins in earnest tonight. MKR will win in total people but Married at First Sight will win in demographics. I reckon Bride and Prejudice will be the second flop of the year (after Lethal Weapon).
The Chase Australia 670,000 (5.30pm)
My Kitchen Rules season premiere 1.31m

Life in Pieces 0.46m / 0.36m
Monday the 30th of January 2017
Ch 7 are marketing tonight as the “biggest Monday of the year”, especially after the Australian Open & last night’s ratings, I’d expect that to deliver (MKR is the #1 regular program 25-54s). Very competitive with I’m A Celebrity & Married At First Sight though, tomorrow morning’s ratings could be the most interesting of 2017, gives the networks options before official ratings survey begins…
No. 1 network: Seven
No. 1 main channel: Ch 7
•My Kitchen Rules (season premiere): 1.5m
•I’m A Celebrity: 950k
•Married At First Sight (season premiere): 900k
•Bride & Predjudice (series premiere): 875k
•“Bride Wars” (movie - Ch 9): 350k
WTF are Ch 9 airing a movie repeat for? Now the ‘proper’ 2017 TV begins, who’s seriously interested at this time of the year (same goes for other networks).
Is this a serious prediction? Firstly its not the series premiere. Its been airing for some time. And i believe the last new episode was in the 200-300k mark. I cant see it jumping by nearly 500k.
