Being a Saturday and with the Aus Open including two Aussie Menā€¦ Nine will kill the ratings for sure.

I think because of this and this reason only that the new Iā€™m A Celebrity extra episode will find it very tough going?

I also donā€™t think itā€™s had enough promotion as itā€™s own separate program to be honest for people to realise itā€™s a new episode. Itā€™s Saturday night and itā€™s notorious for networks to repeat their realities on this night.

Nine of course to dominate prime time.

I disagree about day time, I didnā€™t even know it was on, the Raonic vs Pouille tennis final has been good too, another upset brewing right into 6pm with a tie breakā€¦

Seven is desperate that the day/night test will be more competitive against the tennis than the BBL.

Australia v Sri Lanka, 1st test:

Much the same as last night, though numbers will be higher with tomorrow not being a weekday and Sevenā€™s shares will be down with no late BBL. If Djokovic match is a good one, expect big ratings for Nine (who should win easily anyway)ā€¦

Nine will deliver a bigger share than yesterday thanks to the tennis. If the tennis match goes for more than 3 hours, expect nine to triple 10ā€™s figures for tonight.

Saturday January 26 (Australia Day)
Seven will dominate the day with the WBBL final (hope it will be a great game) and first two sessions of the Gabba test. Nine will win the night with the tennis although it will struggle to get one million viewers.

Well, last year I got my prediction way off, even though it was a fantastic women final and some fresh faces between Wozniacki and Halep, I thunk tonight can still get 1m if a great match and Nine will win bigā€¦

Nineā€™s first-time coverage of Australian Open will end with a bang. The Djokovic-Nadal clash is a promoterā€™s dream, it will get a massive audience although it wonā€™t be as big as their last AO final encounter in 2012 which turned into a six-hour epic.
