Seven won Friday with just over 30% of the Total TV audience, even with the previous week while the first Rugby League match of the year helped Nine to lift its share by one from the previous Friday. ABC and 10 were steady with SBS down one. No surprise that Nine won in Sydney (by 7) and Brisbane (by 10) with Seven ahead in the other markets.

Better Homes and Gardens was the top entertainment show of the night despite dropping 100k from the previous week. Next best was Midsomer Murders that was up 140k for the season 24 premiere episode. Also on ABC, Gardening Australia posted a small increase.

The Rugby League All Starts managed 491k with Nine’s split programming for its main channel and did well in the key demos.

Later, Seven’s movie did better this week to help boost the network’s share.

Graham Norton was up 40k this week with The Project and 10 News also improved.

Meanwhile, the afternoon saw another close contest between games shows with Tipping Point ahead by 1,000.

Note that these are broadcast TV numbers. That may sometimes lead to PR releases seeming to differ as to which program won a market if the network is using Total TV numbers that included live BVOD.

In the game show contest the average result for the week was

Week 7 2024	5 City	Syd	Mel	Bri	Ade	Per
Chase Aus	368,600	88,800	101,000	75,200	48,400	55,600
Tipping Aus	334,600	90,000	105,400	74,200	38,400	27,400

The result is a huge boost for Nine’s game show results compared to last year.

Week 7 2023	5 City
Chase Aus	361,700
Hot Seat	256,100

Also worth noting that Tipping Point was again ahead (by 1,000) of Nine’s Afternoon News in Perth

Apple75 · February 17, 2024, 2:19am

It’s surprising that TC AU won the metro but TP AU was able to win the total viewers with regional & metro when normally it’s the regionals which help TC AU have a larger gap with metro being closer

Sully · February 17, 2024, 3:20am

Nine’s releases have been noting the huge jump YoY% regionally too, looks like country Australia is taking to Todd Woodbridge and TP certainly vs Eddie McGuire and Hot Seat while also possibly a decline for Larry Emdur and Chase. No doubt Nine’s stronger markets like Northern Nsw particularly to thank.

BrekkyTVFan · February 17, 2024, 3:24am

I’m pretty sure Tipping Point UK and Hot Seat (either half hour) last year were quite close regionally, with Tipping Point often outrating Hot Seat.

AmFmDigital · February 17, 2024, 3:30am

Very interesting speculation. Would you suggest that The CHASE format (including the polarizing Chasers) is now turning off viewers or is it the presenter?

When Eddie McGuire was host of MHS on NINE, was TCA on SEVEN preferable to many viewers only because Larry Emdur was not a one-eyed football team promoter?

TV.Cynic · February 17, 2024, 4:29am

Tipping Point won NNSW and SNSW; The Chase won Victoria and Queensland but remembering that in all but NNSW Tipping Point was at 4.30pm with WIN News at 5.30pm.

JBar · February 17, 2024, 4:35am

You’re really trying to talk up Tipping Point, any which way you can. Some might possibly say: grasping at straws.

Sully · February 17, 2024, 5:38am

That’s unfair and harsh, if I’m being serious. Just analysing the ratings, like I normally do with any other comment in these threads, not that I’m in TVCynic’s class of course.

I’ll also point out, again, I’m an avid viewer of The Chase (namely ‘the final chase’) and seldom watch TP (only took some looks in launch week)…

TheChewyApple · February 17, 2024, 6:31am

Not who you were responding to, but I found the discussion interesting.

First, are the Chasers really that polarising? Sure, people have their favourites, but I don’t think there is really that much active hatred towards any of them.

Second, I do see the point being made about the hosts. Yes Eddie had his detractors, and I think most of that came from his personality being annoying rather than being a Collingwood promoter, but I don’t think that Todd is much better. I don’t know what it is about him, but to me he comes off as a bit smug and potentially sleazy, which is a shame because I really like him as a tennis commentator.

In all honesty, what killed off Hot Seat was the format, particularly the hour-long version. The Fastest Finger First format was awful and took way too long, and there was just too much dead time between questions. Despite having the clock, there just didn’t feel to be any urgency in the game. Tipping Point does better in this regard, with the varied round types and the Jackpot Temptation adds tension right at the end. I still prefer the UK version to the Australian adaptation, but it does at least feel fresh and more upbeat compared to Hot Seat.

JBar · February 17, 2024, 6:43am

I’m just posting my observation and my observation is that you’ve posted a number of posts talking up The Tipping Point and when it’s pointed out your analysis is incorrect, you’ve looked for another angle to make the same point.

MickRidgers · February 17, 2024, 11:37pm

Loving the GAMESHOW WARS! It’s hard not to talk Tipping Point AU up - Two new gameshows (obviously both existing formats) started at the same time and both DOND and TPAU have vastly improved on the Timeslot from this time last year.

Sadly, DOND is on CH10 & they don’t get much market share, and the management is quite poor in the way they repeats shows 2-3 times per week at different slots.
While TPAU will benefit from existing fanbase, bigger money and a redesigned endgame that is tweaked to Aus audiences.
TheChaseAus still a great product, sadly repeated Thurs/Fri lose some diehard viewers - but it’s not losing numbers
