It was live. In most states i believe. After Sunrise.

So 7’s News at 4 is bad in Brisbane & it continues into the night. Sydney isn’t any better but Brisbane should be a big worry for them

Ay_Jay · March 17, 2026, 9:54am

@TV.Cynic

For which Timeslot are those poorly Ratings for The Agenda Setters NRL/AFL.?? Are they the Combined Numbers for the 7:30pm 7Mate & the 12:50am Main Channel 7 or not.??

And could I Please know the Ratings for the Lingo 3:30pm Channel 10.!?

Cheers Thank You!!

TV.Cynic · March 17, 2026, 10:00am

The Agenda ratings are for the first broadcast.

Lingo had 72,000.

Ay_Jay · March 17, 2026, 10:53am

Thank You So Much for that..

If it’s possible what was the Encore/Second Broadcast, only if you can.!?

Cheers.!

Apple75 · March 17, 2026, 1:16pm

The encore was past midnight. I think typically the encore ratings do better than the 7mate ratings it was the same with Footy Classified and why they are now always after MAFS/main reality show.
