The Winter Olympics delivered again for Seven, three points clear of Nine though the main channel battle was closer.

Seven News had another good result winning all markets except Brisbane that saw the return of Melissa Downes give Nine a win.

Meanwhile Married At First Sight saw a season high result to easily win its timeslot. Later, the premiere of US drama Le Brea did well with 458,000 in preliminary numbers.

The Olympics were surprisingly consistent across the night and similar to Sunday’s numbers.

Survivor managed to average 500k and ranked 6th in 25-54.

For ABC, the 2022 premiere of 4 Corners dealing with federal politics performed poorly with one of the show’s lowest ever ratings. It compared to last year’s first episode had 576,000. Media Watch also premiered a new season with 400,000 just making the top 20 and compared to last year’s rating of 496,000.

Sky News numbers were down of previous results as well.

Big jump for MAFS from Sunday.

La Brea had its biggest audience in Melbourne where the drama was mainly filmed.

Was the show any good? Kind of gave it a miss.

US reviews for the first episode of La Brea were generally poor.

Was it worth delaying La Brea by 5 months for 400k? Can’t believe this still happens in 2022.

Did you think it would rate any higher if it aired any earlier?

At breakfast, Sunrise had its second highest audience of 2022 that saw it win all markets.

Perhaps not totally surprising, with everyone back at school and work, but the day time results for the Winter Olympics yesterday notably well down on what Tokyo last year and this year’s Aus Open on Nine achieved, as well as what Beijing achieved over the weekend in these timeslots.

MAFS had a season high.

Australian Survivor third in its slot although doing better than some previous Ten offerings against MAFS.

Well it’s the Winter Olympics. They typically aren’t as big here and are never going to rate remotely close to the AO or summer Olympics.

Am I imagining things or was it available to view on 9Now shortly after the US premiere?

No it wasn’t. However, someone on the forum misinterpreted a promo from Nine and posted that it was.

I saw a promo a few days ago for last night’s 4 corners ep. From the shorts I thought to myself “Yet another hatchet job on Morrison by the ABC”. So I didn’t waste my time watching it coz I knew what would be dished up. From the low ratings seems maybe I wasn’t alone in such thinking? Anything political on ABC you know which way it will go so around half of the potential audience is alienated up front.

It wouldn’t have done any better if it launched on the tail end of the year (or probably would have done worse). It’s not like general TV viewers would have been dying to watch a new drama that they probably wouldn’t otherwise know about. Having promos during the AO and then MAFS as a lead in would have been it’s best chance of success. 460k is pretty decent for a US drama these days, especially something that ran till 10.10pm.

There’s no need for the the ABC to do a “hatchet job” on Morrison, his own colleagues do that pretty well.

Perhaps if you watched the show you’d have seen it wasn’t so much like that at all. If anything it showed that he has more support of the public than what things like polls reflect.

It wasn’t a hatchet job. And next week the whole episodes is focused on Albanese. You probably can’t comment if you didn’t watch it.

Thanks for your comments … if it wasn’t a hatchet job on scomo that’s a nice change from the ABC. But my point was trying to help explain why yesterday’s 4 corners recorded "one of the show’s lowest ever ratings ". ABCs well documented political bias costs it ratings. Around half of the available potential audience is turned off.

“well documented”?
