A massive Friday win for Seven and without a World Cup match on multichannels this week. At 39.1% it was Seven’s third highest Friday of the year and 15 points ahead of second-placed Nine that posted its lowest Friday share in 12 months. ABC and 10 both had improved Friday shares while SBS was unchanged.

Seven News got primetime off to a good start for its network with a comprehensive all market win. The AFL audience of 553,00 was the highest Friday result of the year including main channel coverage in Brisbane that was just 2k behind the NRL result.

Better Home and Gardens retained it spot at the top of scripted programming despite the return of Gardening Australia on ABC.

On Nine, A Current Affair slipped to third at 7pm while the NRL was down 60k from the previous week.

ABC’s night was improved by Gardening Australia – up +100k on First Weapons; that also helped Death in Paradise to make the top 20.

10 saw Location, Location, Location Make the top 20 for the first time, up 40k week-on-week and its second highest result of the season.

Good NRL and AFL numbers for Foxtel.

Somewhat remarkable result for Seven, given a non-nationally appealing major sport and no other sports nor event programming and they come up with those ratings/shares. Brisbane of particular highlight, exact timeslots would make for interesting reading, no doubt all eyes on the Lions after about 9:45pm for the next 45min in a rater long/late (10:30pm> aest) finish.

And an obscure ob, solid performance (considering AFL/NRL and the rest) for 9Go! umpteenth re-run of The Dark Knight (which Seven never managed to get rights to when they got that WB output some years back now lapsed), always rates, also making top key demos in m/c.

That Location result for 10 doesn’t seem terrible either.

Seven coded the show incorrectly (and not for the first time). It’s a first-run episode.

A close between Seven’s Better Homes and the return of ABC’s Gardening Australia.

Good to see 10’s Location make the top 20.

It’s taken 4 weeks… but it seems some people have found it.

I’m an NRL fan but some of the games the NRL have been putting up on Thursday and Friday nights are borderline stupid decisions. No wonder why the AFL got such high ratings last night. I assume Collingwood and Lions are the top teams so the game is a blockbuster one that people will watch.

What the NRL do is put Sharks V Cowboys on Thursday night followed up by Eels v Roosters on Friday night. Both games are terrible to watch. 3 teams were struggling and Sharks can’t draw a crowd either. Terrible games to watch so the ratings suffer.

The NRL should learn from the AFL and schedule blockbuster games for Thursday/Friday nights and relegate the useless teams to Saturday or Sunday early arvo games.

I don’t watch the AFL btw. But their game scheduling is 100% than what the NRL does.

Whilst the (R) [repeat] might be technically incorrect, I think Seven did that as to make it separate so it isn’t accidentally combined with the main channel coding, which of course Melbourne’s data has always been separated for that first 30min on main channel before AFL (where as the last 90min are on 7Two), as noted previously inflates that half hour and has always done very well from a headline figure standpoint and to boost the five city number. Perhaps that OzTAM repeat abbreviation was the only thing allowing this to happen - or maybe in the descriptor they could use —Multi instead, as often seen during tennis/olympics/comm games codings.

Cowboys v Sharks are both in finals contention, as were Eels v Roosters.

Cowboys have a strong following in QLD and Sharks are playing good footy with 3 wins in a row now. It was a tight game in the 1st half before Cronulla ran over the top of them.

Eels and Roosters both have a good following in Sydney, Roosters starting to come good but yes Eels have been terrible.

One thing that has helped the AFL ratings is that there have been a lot of close contests this year, which the NRL haven’t had as much.

And that there is a more even race for the premiership, Penrith have been too strong for everyone since 2020 season, only maybe the Broncos can stop a 3 peat. AFL have probably 5 teams that could win it.

Did it? I didn’t see that. Did 10 cut it out?

Mega stuff if Carlton (a smokey) or Essendon (now looking unlikely) both still in contention make the finals, let alone a Prelim or the GF… The most successful clubs in history with 20 premierships each but both long suffering not winning since mid-90s for former and 2000 for the latter.

Side note: IIRC ~1.7m is the OzTAM record for an individual market, set by Melbourne for the COVID-affected 2021 AFL GF in Perth and such a GF as aforementioned could match/top that. I had a feeling the 2006 Melbourne Comm Games did something similar in Melbourne but that might be wrong.
