It was another big night for Seven as the AFL finals continued. The Elimination Final that saw Geelong end Carlton’s season, with a dominant win, averaged 1.08m. That was just short of Thursday’s final that had 1.088m and compared to last year’s equivalent game that had 934k.

Seven also had Better Homes And Gardens to help add to their network share that this week had 390k for another 90-minute episode up on last week’s that had 376k.

Over on Nine, the final Friday Night Footy of the year featuring the 100th appearance of Jai Arrow as a Rabbitohs player went out on a high. The game, that saw the Rabbitohs with a 30-point win over the Roosters, impressed with the highest Friday rating of the year with 757k.

Meanwhile, ABC’s Gardening Australia was the highest rated entertainment program in primetime with 460k. Up against stiff competition it was up from the last episode that had 443k. Saint-Pierre that followed had 307k for the season one season final while Love It Or List It Australia was down 25k to 220k as 10’s sole prime time entry.

6pm News numbers were steady week-on-week with Seven still the number one choice with 1.174m while Nine’s bulletin had 1.08m.

A Current Affair with 826k was ahead of ABC News with 753k in the 7pm contest while Tipping Point with 693k had another 5pm win over The Chase with 583k.

Sunrise with 418k easily accounted for Today with 273k and News Breakfast out of Brisbane that had 208k.

Now past half way mark, do we have a 2026 YTD reach Top 10 or 20 @TV.Cynic ?

From memory, there’s been at least a couple of 6m+, I think the Australian Open final and maybe SOO?
