The return of Friday Night Football helped to lift Seven’s share last night, up two on recent Fridays. The game averaged 638,000 to rank fourth for the night while raking first in reach.

Friday Night NRL was also back with Nine’s share up +1 on the previous week with the game ranking sixth averaging 576,000.

That saw ABC and 10 lose share while SBS was steady.

ABC’s Gardening Australia was the top prime time entertainment show and was up slightly on the previous week. Midsomer Murders that followed, however slipped by 80k.

Meanwhile, 10 launched a new prime time version of Ready Steady Cook that averaged 225,000. That was on par with the Graham Norton Show of the Previous Week.

The afternoon saw Tipping Point with another win, this time by 40k nationally.

5 cities.

Another big win for Nine in Melbourne despite the lead out while Brisbane perhaps did not like Seven’s shortened bulletin. Meanwhile Tipping Point leads the afternoon and Sunrise recovers from a very poor week.

Looks like BHG is being wasted on 7Two on Friday nights. Should it move to Saturdays during AFL season? But I guess that couldn’t be all markets either.

Weekly averages 5 cities

Tipping Point further ahead of The Chase in the 5 cities and was up 26% on Hot Seat while The Chase was down by 8% Tipping Point also won nationally 596k to 578k.

Some good results still for Nine yesterday, despite another big loss at the hands of Seven’s AFL.

–

Looks like end of Afternoon news, Chase, 6pm news and start of BH&G were all affected by 7mate AFL in Perth, with the 3 hour time difference.

–

Yes, Seven will be very disappointed by that BH&G result (all time low?), although at their own hands really, expect a big change from next week (back to 7pm main channel all markets bar Adel even if only 30min in Melb and more promotion). It’d been strong recently too.

The AFL numbers for the 5 city markets:

5 City Syd Mel Bri Ade Per
AFL 443,000 25,000 248,000 71,000 61,000 39,000

BHandG had 59,000 in Perth.

There was a coding issue with the NRL Game on Nine so numbers not available per markets -perhaps why the VOZ results were delivered late. Nine, however, won Sydney and Brisbane by +11 points each.

Foxtel national total tv numbers incl BVOD

Those Foxtel numbers (presuming it includes KAYO like as of last year) are pretty disappointing, their standalone svod service was often reporting numbers in the hundreds of thousands, unless Foxtel broadcast has fallen off a cliff.

Wouldn’t be surprised after the terrible 9Gem Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth numbers the night before.

Seven’s decision to take the cheap way out with Chase Australia repeats seems to be backfiring, though one assumes Nine will probably start repeating Tipping Point once enough shows are in the archive

News Corp reported total ratings on Foxtel/Kayo for the two Sunday afternoon Las Vegas NRL games at around 800k each.

Kayo isn’t added until later, only included Foxtel Go etc

Ah well then that’s better, makes more sense

And their decision to not do anything when TP was building a following at 3pm for a year or so has also come home to roost. 9 afternoon news is now consistently winning and that leads in to 5pm, then 6pm, ACA and MAFS. Viewers don’t need to leave 9.
Seems to then also flow over to mornings with Today.

Throw in the Olympics later in the year and 7 is in trouble. Might take years to rebuild.

The sporting wars: AFL beat NRL.

The return of Ready Steady Cook didn’t sett the ratings world on fire. But against some tough competition (Gardening Aus, Better Homes in some cities and the NRL).

17

Isn’t it the other way around that NRL beat AFL?

AFL rated 638k FTA + 219k Foxtel = 857k
NRL rated 576k FTA + 284k Foxtel = 860k

Both figures exclude Kayo I believe.

Oh, sorry. I didn’t think of the Foxtel numbers. Was just looking at the FTA numbers. Sorry. Yes, you are right.

Good to see SBS’ showing of Pulp Fiction rank last night, especially key demos and above a lot of prime time commercials, at least in reach.

A couple more good titles tonight, The Quick and the Dead on Movies and A Beautiful Mind on Viceland.

Except, no, as we have reach figures now so we can demonstrate every time that a similar average means rhe afl had an audience perhaps 25% higher
