Paul Kennedy is presenting sport from his home again this week.
Second in the ratings yesterday.
Week 13 ratings ranking:
#1 Sunrise
#2 News Breakfast
#3 Today
Although by a small margin, this is the first time News Breakfast has beaten Today in the weekly average for the 5 city metros.
Finally.
The ratings are reflective of the product.
News Breakfast has been better overall than Today for a very long time.
Awesome news, this is great for the industry. Hopefully this is the start of our national broadcaster becoming competitive in more time slots, all takes time!
About last week’s ratings. News Breakfast recorded its highest week ever; Sunrise had its best numbers since the big results during 2016 Olympics; but Today’s audience, while a high for the year, was at or below the level it was rating in the months before Lisa left the show.
Better than Sunrise too, I would say.
Michael is having a week off next week and will return on Easter Monday.
Monday 6 April-

Georgie Tunny hosting with Madeleine Morris this morning.
It appears that News Breakfast is taking over Rage’s Saturday morning slot on the ABC main channel, with Rage now ending at 7.00am.
As it has been doing for weeks now since 21 March.
ah… I wasn’t aware of that. Online guides still show Rage through to 11.00am on the main channel on Saturday so I thought it was a new amendment.
I don’t watch Rage but I would have thought it better to provide an alternative to the morning news cycle, and there is the news channel that people can keep watching anyway
Yeah I just checked that too. Weird. It’s been in the guides since the initial change but appears not to be for this coming Saturday.
I’m raging!
Well, I suppose I’m not.
If only the ABC had a dedicated news channel for their news programs to be broadcast on.
It’s in the guide for this Saturday now.
This really is a fantastic set isn’t it. So many elements.
I agree - definitely a lot better than the old one - I thought it was huge before I went on a behind-the-scenes tour!
