Monday saw the end of Olympic coverage and one reality franchise plus the launch of two reality seasons. Nine had a narrow one-point win to its best Monday share outside the Olympics since April. It was also a good result for Seven while ABC topped 19%. 10’s share slipped to 14.4% with SBS on 8.5%
For Nine The Block got off to a great start averaging 1.1 million national viewers.
Seven’s Dancing With The Stars massive final had 889k tune in for 2.5 hours. Hunted on 10 launched to just over 500k.
ABC also got a big result for the Four Corners expose on Channel Seven.
Later the Olympic Closing Ceremony that finished well after midnight had 309k after the live broadcast drew 577k in the early morning.
Have You Been Paying Attention managed 600k while Q+A was back with a high 346k.
At 6pm Nine News had a narrow win. Today that followed the opening ceremony did 550,000 while Sunrise averaged 441,000, its highest weekday result of the year.
Tipping Point had a 100k win over The Chase while A Current Affair recorded its highest audience of the year.
It wasn’t a great opening episode, was also an hour and forty minutes long with ads which is ridiculous.
The show has waned since the original hype around it’s premiere so they’ve tried tweaking it a bit, next years we will probably see Celebrities on the run like Amazing Race if 10 are anything to go by
Difficult to gauge given different systems of reporting - but I wouldn’t say that had a major boost though either? Things just seem to have landed back more or less where they were would have been.
Block has a big reach for a pretty different average. Be interesting to see where it lands.
Did Hunted slowly improve ratings throughout the season last year?
Geez the Block is such a juggernaut - Good to see big numbers still tuning into to all Broadcasts and not completely drop away after the live sport is over.
