Last night’s results were typical for a Friday with all network shares within one point of the previous week. Seven secured an easy +6 point win. Seven’s share was down slightly while Nine’s edged up. ABC improved to its best Friday in four weeks as 10 lost share on its multis to its lowest Friday in five weeks. SBS got a boost thanks to SBS Viceland’s Five Elements marathon delivering the channel’s highest share since Jan 2022 (up from 2% last year). Seven News was the top program of the night with Nine’s bulletin performing much better than the previous week, up almost 100k. A Current Affair also fared better with its highest Friday rated edition of the year. ABC News also did well with its highest Friday rating since early March. To add to the list, The Chase posted its highest Friday audience of the year securing its highest rated week of the year and the number one quiz on TV. Also on Seven, it was one of AFL’s top Friday results in preliminary numbers while Better Homes and Gardens was the top prime time entertainment offering. For Nine the NRL’s Magic Round had 329,000 watching, down 50k from the previous week. Foxtel got some good numbers for the NRL on Fox League. Just the one entry for 10 in the top 20 as usual. It was the first Friday of the year that Sunrise did not make the top 20 though its ratings were even with the previous week and 30k ahead of Today. ---

Some decent Friday FTA numbers across the board compared to normal, polar weather conditions in the south keeping some at home too perhaps. > [@TV.Cynic](#): > > one of AFL’s top Friday results in preliminary number > [@TV.Cynic](#): > > Nine the NRL’s Magic Round had 329,000 watching, down 50k from the previous week Not sure that’s a great result for the latter, STV aside, the former turned into a pretty one-sided thrashing mid-way through, while the latter is arguably the biggest H&A round apart from Anzac. I had been wondering if this weekend’s sport would be affected by all the Coronation coverage, even that I thought hasn’t been getting that much buzz as it should. Unless an upset Nine victory and it’d have to be massive margins, looks like Seven’s week is sealed again, can’t see them not doing well in some shape tonight. ---

In Brisbane, Nine’s NRL broadcast (Broncos) more than doubled the audience watching AFL on 7mate (Lions). ---

Or, more meaningfully, the AFL (which goes for an extra hour and doesn’t finish until after 10 30) got almost half on 7 mate what the Broncos in magic round got on the main channel. Hard to see how that is a relatively better result for the NRL ---

The two episodes of Bondi Rescue at 7.30pm failed to make the top 30 in total people. But thankfully the Ambulance Australia (rpt) that followed scraped though. Although they did seem to do well in the 25-54 demos, as well as Territory Cops at 9.30pm. ---

The 6.30 Project cant even make the Top 30? Woke programs are clearly on the nose as is evident with the drop in shows like Q & A and The Weekly. At the other extreme, Sky News has lost half its audience since this time last year. I wonder if the BVOD figures will be applied to Pay TV? ---

> [@scott](#): > > Woke programs are clearly on the nose as is evident with the drop in shows like Q & A and The Weekly. There are a couple of big things to remember about Q+A, outside of any perceived bias: 1. The retirement of Tony Jones definitely had an impact. The way he was able to moderate and host the show was part of what made it so successful, and it is something that none of the rotating cast of hosts since his departure have been able to replicate. 2. The shift from Monday night to Thursday night basically killed it off in the ratings, and it hasn’t been able to regain the lost audience now they have moved it back. > [@scott](#): > > At the other extreme, Sky News has lost half its audience since this time last year. I am not a defender of Sky News or what it produces, but I would note that this time last year, we were entering the last couple of weeks of the Federal Election campaign, so there is probably some of that at play. Even then, it is well down on the same time in 2021, which probably suggests people are starting to become sick of what they are producing. ---

Yeah I think the figures show that people are sick of being lectured to whether it is by Lisa Wilkinson, Waleed Aly or anyone else The new layout with the BVOD here is great. ---
