Friday’s Men’s Semi Final day saw two of the most memorable Australian Open semi-finals in history.
Game one saw Alcaraz’s scoring an epic win over Zverev after 5hr 30 min to advance to Sunday’s final. The length of the contest saw it shunted to 9Gem at 6pm then back to the main channel after the news.

That significantly delayed game two that saw another memorable match with Djokovic defeating Sinner in a 5-set thriller that finished just after 1:30 AM.

The entries for the coverage included a tournament high just short of 2 million for the Night Session, Night 2 with 1.757m, 1.3 m for Pre-Match and a huge 1.1 m for Late though these will need to be adjusted for actual run times. Other entries that are attributable to the matches included Chicago Med (1.04m) and Law and Order Organized Crime (692k), Next Stop (605k) and even some Home Shopping along with 9Gem entry for MASH (334k).

Earlier the mixed doubles final was won by the Australian pair of Gadecki and Peers with the Day session averaging 611k.

Those not watching tennis included Better Homes And Gardens Summer with 541k and All Creatures Great And Small with 489k.

Later, Art Detectives nearing the end of its inaugural season did well to get 386k while Seven’s movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle had 274k.

At 6pm Seven News was 90k ahead of Nine News after The Chase had 614k with ABC News slipping to 766k at 7pm. Sunrise was ahead by 100k at breakfast though Today and News Breakfast both posted their best ratings of 2026.

This is where I normally post a table to average out the codings.

There won’t be one for yesterday though. These aren’t the right ones to do. So we don’t really know how high the tennis audience is match-by-match.

Nine had all the drama, all the distance, all the preferred storylines (and for pretty much the first time ever, halved the news on-the-spot). Seven, the longtime AO broadcaster, now sitting on the fence looking in, probably wondering why they never had a day like that.

So in true Friday fashion, we’ll have to go the full distance as well, specifically Feb 7 for the consolidation release.

(Would be nice if we have RLA stream viewership on 9Now and Stan to get a holistic total, but that ain’t happening)

Wow.

It’s unfortunate the news interrupted the first match in Sydney and Melbourne, I’d imagine combining the later stages of “Day” (which was a long coding from 2:30pm) and the earlier part of “Night Session 1” (which included the post match interview and studio analysis which would’ve rated a lot lower) would potentially give Nine a 2m+ average, also going off what “Night Pre Game” achieved.

How long til the Nine promo department get to work: “The top rating drama on Australian TV”…

Unbelievable ratings for AO semi finals yesterday afternoon and last night.

Even they realize the long matches have rendered the codings useless.

Yet they’re still happy to publish that media release. Alright.

Mostly because that was the tennis. The actual episode only aired in Perth.

Huge numbers for the Tennis.

The Men’s First Semi Final was big (so was the switch over to 9Gem with MASH and Antiques Roadshow getting good numbers). The Night-pre-match and Session 1 was this match, and got huge numbers.

The Men’s Second Semi Final that followed was Session 2 and Late (i didn’t expect a Late Coding, considering it was scheduled to finish by 11pm, thus cancelling out the usual Late portion, but he we are). Chicago Med, Law and Order, Next Stop at Home Shopping “that followed” made the top 30 lists. Amazing numbers for the tennis between 11pm and 2am (aedt). And good to see viewer patterns during these times too.

One of my thoughts yesterday was “Would be surprised if any other programs had viewers”.

Well… look at that primetime.

15

I’m actually surprised at 10s 6pm hour holding those kind of numbers for a Friday considering the extra competition

16

Assuming that this was the 1.30-2am portion (of the tennis in some cities). I was curious to see how networks code their late night shopping programs. And who knew that they repeat them too (as in “Tue - rpt”)…

Nine News managed a narrow 5-city win, its fourth for the week. Viewing numbers on 9Gem during the news posted below as well. Note 30 min bulletin in Brisbane and Perth.

Big breakfast numbers - 2026 highs for Today and News B. Today had an easy win on the east coast with Sunrise narrowly 3rd in Melbourne.

Some impressive ratings for tennis though the coding made for some interesting reating. Good to be able to present these breakouts on a Saturday. PS Lions For Lambs was a movie scheduled after the tennis in Brisbane and Perth.
