Wow, what game changing data, thank you VOZ, MS and TV Cynic. I guess we need to start talking this way too? Some observations:
-As if Seven News couldn’t get any larger, a genuine concern (but nothing new) for the suits at North Sydney.
-A Current Affair in comparison to Nine News looking very healthy.
-Farmer well on top, even Home and Away and The Chase. No wonder Warburton was keen for this, regionals definitely helping. However, also looks older skewed, with Nine’s particularly 25-54s leading, but youngest is closer.
Interesting to see how this all unfolds… Also curious to know if this is VOZ proper (like the weekly website uploads between 2021 and 2022) which included slightly different metrics/calculations, such as de-dupliction from spill and a ‘rest of australia’ estimate for markets not peoplemetered under OzTAM or RegTAM? Or the ‘Total TV’ which we’ve been getting a week later and this seems to look like?

Just a question on this new VOZ data, what does the demographic of grocery shoppers cover?
Great data. Will it be posted every evening, or should it come in the morning from now on?
Big concern for Nine News given how big Seven is regionally.

Grocery shopper - in brief description from Oztam:
Each home must have only 1 nominated permanent household member aged 18 years or more who is mainly responsible for the everyday grocery shopping.

Wow, I thought I went back in time several years when I looked at the numbers. Is a much better representation of overall viewership.
Very sombre watching the tele last night with Jocks shock passing, all networks handled the situation with great respect and there was an outpouring of compassion and empathy across the industry and his fan base.
RIP Jock.

Thanks for posting the new top 30 in total numbers and the demos, which includes TOTAL TV (being metro, regional and the BVOD numbers).
For the Broadcast Metro numbers - they seem to be slightly different to the overnight ratings in the original post. Is the second list an updated version (ie not “preliminary numbers”)?
No idea why the numbers are not the same. The Metro numbers are all lower than the OzTAM number so not preliminary. The regional numbers are also different to the daily numbers received. I’ll wait a while for the system to settle in and if it continues, might pose a question.

Could it be: ?

Haha, fair! Because we’ve been told the lions share of buyers drift towards metro and key demos namely 25-54, thus Nine’s focus and sees them sit pretty the past 5 years. I think forums/blogs/media will need some time to adjust to comprehending and analysing, but which direction they take the jury is out, while you’d agree with Nine to an extent, it’s hard to ignore this total data now, especially in a dwindling environment and certainly the streaming
Thanks @TV.Cynic and @sully for your explanations. Early days i know with this new layout. So time will tell if there are more variations in coming days/weeks and the exact reasonings with the slight variations.
And as mentioned, it could just be indeed a “slightly different calculations” for people not under the oztam/regtam arrangments.
In a way not really because BVOD numbers are a quite a small fraction, while the Regional lifts are achieved by extended reach. It is really just trying to mask the declines because we think wow 1.6 mill, but rather than using a reach of maybe 13 mill, it is now using a reach of maybe 20 mill excluding BVOD. Have to balance any thoughts on this system, which is the way forward, compared to any prior data from years gone by which is not comparing apples with apples. Just have an open mind and go along with, as time goes by, adjustment will be made by the community.

Massive difference between Seven and Nine News 6pm regionally (Seven with double the audience), though Ten’s is just about in the coffin in comparison.
I would hazard a guess? that the Seven News numbers include the reciprocal news content on selected Prime markets with local news then 6.30 condensed national, maybe TVC would be able to clarify this?
Hot Seat should be different with different timeslots across the timezones affecting its numbers, yet numbers are very close.
Seven News would include local news in that timeslot however Nine News doesn’t include any WIN News local bulletins.

No it wouldn’t as WIN’s bulletins air at 5:30. Similarly, are the Hot Seat numbers just for Hot Seat in its various timeslots, or whatever airs in those timeslots?
Hot Seat is for the program at what ever time whether 3pm, 4pm, 4.30, 5pm. Only exception I’m aware of is Gold Coast that is for the Brisbane timeslot.
