Another comparatively quiet Friday night on FTA without primetime sport saw lifestyle program dominate the numbers. Better Homes and Gardens was number one in the genre for the fourth straight week, last night averaging 613k for a new season high up on last week’s audience of 589k.

ABC’s perennial favourite Gardening Australia came in second, also over the 500k mark but down 20k week-on-week. Episode two of Nine’s new Château DIY Australia came in third with 363k after debuting to 381k. Love It Or List It Australia on 10 had 305k up 30k and the show’s first time over 300k since early January.

Later, Seven’s The Dressmaker had 265k in a tight contest with Nine’s The Intern that was just ahead with 277k. Death Valley on ABC was the top scripted show of the day up 25k to 300k while an encore of Monday’s Have You Been Paying Attention? also made the top 30 cut with 213k.

The Bathurst 1000 Qualifying/Supports had 264k up from 229k last year while the Practice session was also slightly higher this year up 10k to 203k. On 7Mate, the One Day International Women’s Cricket that saw Australia defeat Bangladesh had 49k.

Seven News (1.165m) and Nine News (1.013m) were the only shows over one million viewers. ABC News with 780k beat A Current Affair’s 731k at 7pm while Tipping Point remained unbeaten at 5pm with 663k to lead The Chase with 522k.

Sunrise had 425k while Today finished the week with just 263k though still ahead of News Breakfast had 212k.

“Another comparatively quite Friday night on FTA without primetime sport saw lifestyle program dominate the numbers.”

I think you mean quiet not quite :wink:

5

49,000 total national average viewers? Wonder how much these broadcasts cost Seven, onerous from their CA contract.

6

Entire 7 hour broadcast from 2:30pm to 10:30pm & I think it finished early too.

If they coded it into 2 sessions then the averages would have probably been slightly higher. 550k reach, so that shows people tuned in and out.

If an entire test match was coded into 1 average from 11am to 6pm then that average would also be low compared to what we currently get for each session
