No 65+ ? Murray, Bolt and Jones would win that demographic.

Awesome.
LOL, probably!
As for other programs on Pay TV…it’s probably safe to say that if the FTA ratings of this show’s Thursday night Ten airings are anything to go by, the Wednesday night airings of Gogglebox on Lifestyle (of course it hasn’t escaped my attention that the availability of Pay TV demographic numbers to Media Spy has come in time for next week’s season return 
) should be comfortably in the top 5 - if not #1 in the key demographics.

OzTAM introduces co-viewing to VPM reporting service
- Incorporates BVOD co-viewing on connected TVs and introduces ‘BVOD Audience’ metric
- Contributes 20-25 per cent additional BVOD minutes that were not previously reported
- Key input to the forthcoming VOZ Total TV database
OzTAM today introduces connected TV (CTV) co-viewing* data to its Video Player Measurement (VPM) Report.
This enhancement evolves the VPM service from a 1:1 people-to-device measure for broadcaster video on demand (BVOD) to reflect that people often watch BVOD content together on a CTV.
Co-viewing expands on the demographic profiles that OzTAM introduced to the VPM service in early 2019 and is an important component of VOZ, Australia’s forthcoming all-screen, cross- platform planning and reporting database.
CTV viewing accounts for approximately 50 per cent of BVOD consumption, and up to 95 per cent of that occurs with one, two or three people watching.
Accordingly, the introduction of co-viewing data reveals an additional 20-25 per cent of BVOD viewing that was not previously reported (see ‘Fast Facts’, below).
OzTAM CEO Doug Peiffer said: “We know from our technology, the robust OzTAM panel and our demographic modelling that many people watch TV together on the biggest and best screen in the home.
“Increasingly, that’s a connected TV, as 48 per cent of Australian households now have at least one.
“VPM co-viewing enables us to report that shared BVOD consumption, taking us beyond a 1:1 people-to-device ratio to now model the size of overall BVOD viewership, and uncovering 20-25 per cent of the BVOD audience that until now was not reported.”
With co-viewing, a new people-based ‘BVOD Audience’ figure replaces the device-based ‘VPM Rating’ in the BVOD top program reports posted to OzTAM’s website.
Similarly, the ‘stream starts’ (device) metric has been replaced with ‘BVOD Reach’ (people count).
OzTAM’s VPM co-viewing and demographic models have been developed by Milton Data.
Mr Peiffer added co-viewing is a key input to Australia’s forthcoming Total TV database, Virtual Australia (‘VOZ’).
“Co-viewing provides a valuable new dimension to the BVOD audience, expanding on the VPM demographic profiles OzTAM introduced early last year and illustrating the overall size and reach of broadcast viewing across all devices that VOZ reveals,” Mr Peiffer said.
Currently in the final stages of preparation for launch, Virtual Australia (or, ‘VOZ’) is the foundation of Australia’s new Total TV reporting standard, bringing together broadcast viewing on TV sets (OzTAM and Regional TAM TV ratings) and connected devices (OzTAM’s VPM Report) to provide all-screen, cross-platform planning and reporting for Australia’s television industry.
Fast facts on co-viewing
Co-viewing is defined as up to two additional viewers simultaneously watching BVOD on a connected TV (CTV) alongside the primary viewer.**
Co-viewing captures approximately 20-25% more BVOD minutes that until now were not measured and reported.
For example, if the total number of BVOD minutes played across all individual devices in a 1-hour period is 1 million, co-viewing data shows that the people watching that content collectively consumed 1.2-1.25 million minutes.
Approximately 50% of all BVOD viewing takes place on CTVs.
Approximately 95% of viewing minutes on CTVs occur with 1, 2 or 3 people watching.
Device primary users/owners comprise about 80-85% of all BVOD viewers for both total people and 25-54s.
Although co-viewing on other devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) occurs, such co- viewing is a small proportion of overall BVOD consumed and difficult to measure reliably.
- BVOD viewing accounts for approximately 4% of broadcaster TV content consumed (linear TV + BVOD minutes viewed).
However, many programs attract a sizable portion of their overall audiences via BVOD, similar to the way in which certain shows substantially build on their Overnight linear TV ratings through time-shifted viewing.
- OzTAM’s VPM reporting service typically collects, on average, around 150 million minutes of participating broadcasters’ BVOD content a day.
Approximately 30% is BVOD live and 70% BVOD video on demand (VOD).
- Over the same 24-hour period, Australians typically watch around 3.5 to 4 billion minutes of broadcast TV content through their television sets.
From next week the VPM ratings report will include an additional table to reflect the co-viewing reporting service.
In addition to the previously published data, you will also see demographic data broken down as follows:
Children 00- 12
Children 13- 17
Female 18- 24
Female 25- 39
Female 40- 54
Female 55- 64
Female 65+
Male 18- 24
Male 25- 39
Male 40- 54
Male 55- 64
Male 65+
At this stage, the report will be for the top 10 programs nationally.

Seven: Finally, there’s a demographic that we could brag about in our ratings report.

Gonna be quite interesting to see if any programs primarily aimed at children/teenagers make these lists.
You’d think some ABC KIDS titles should make it in List #1, but anything on ABC ME, 9Go! and 10 Peach?
The list is the same national top 10 now published but with the addition of the demos for each of those top 10 shows - no extra shows or lists.

This is my first draft table of the national top 20 VPM shows for last week with the demo breakdown for each segment.
Depending on any feedback, I will extend this to the top 5 for each network as well.

Chief Revenue Officer Kurt Burnette now talks to advertisers. VOZ ratings are finally coming for the industry. Another hurrah.
I don’t think that’s a particularly healthy way to look at television ratings. My viewing habits don’t look anything like those of the average OzTAM ratings box holder but at the same time, the system has to produce a reasonably accurate picture of what the nation is watching otherwise broadcasters and advertisers wouldn’t make crucial decisions based off it.
Sure, it’s true there are many people out there who don’t have (or want) a ratings box but since you’re highly unlikely to get all 25 million or so Australians agreeing on anything, we just have to deal with an imperfect system.
A new ratings year starts today Sunday 27 Dec
This table shows the estimated TV audience for each of the 5 city markets that will be used by OzTAM for its 2021 analysis (in '000’s) plus the population for 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017. 2018 was the first year that Melbourne potentially had the highest TV audience. This year OzTAM are expecting a small increase of 0.5% in population in the 5-city catchment area than 2020. The increase from 2019 to 2020 was 1.2%.
