Tipping Point was again the top entertainment show of the day, fifth overall and up slightly to 723k. That was just 60k ahead of The Chase that posted its highest Friday rating this year.

In prime time, ABC’s Gardening Australia topped the entertainment programs with 513k, its best number in four weeks. Following’ and nearing the end of the season, Patience continued to do be popular just outside the top 10 with 449k. That put it ahead of Better Homes And Gardens that was on a five-week low of 433k.

Seven’s Round 9 AFL Friday games included Brisbane v Carlton in four markets with Brisbane watching the home team win on 7Mate. Adelaide saw Port Adelaide lose to the Western Bulldogs. The average audience of 541k was down 110k from last Friday’s result for the lowest Friday result of the season outside of ANZAC day.

Seven’s alternative programming to the AFL included the movie Tower Heist that had 136k

Friday Night NRL saw the Eels come from behind for a narrow win over the Cowboys to rate 601k, up from last week. Airport Security: USA made the top 30 on 224k with Nine’s movie We Bought A Zoo averaging 108k.

10’s prime time schedule of repeats saw Love It Or List It Australia with 256k while the Have You Been Paying Attention? encore was back in the schedule but outside the top 30.

It was another big morning for Sunrise with its highest Friday rating of 2026 and 150k ahead of Today. The Morning Show that followed had almost 300k for its best Friday of the year.

Adelaide got Port Adelaide v Western Bulldogs. Was it counted in the national total?

5

Seven aggregates the games played at the same time into a single number.

Confused why Lions game yesterday was not on main channel. Next week Thursday game is. So I wonder why they decided to have this week on 7mate & next week on 7

7

Channel 7 are stupid. That is the reason why this happened.

8

On paper, BRI-GEE is way more attractive than BRI-CAR.

9

That’s not the point. All lions game should be on the main channel. Storm is given better treatment in Melbourne, despite lesser ratings.

10

Carlton Finished 2025 with 9 wins.

They have had a lot of prime time games so far in 2026.

7 prime time games in the 16 weeks .

Collingwood 8

2025 premier’s get 3 prime time games in the first 15

Something is not right.:thinking::man_shrugging:
