With the 2020 ratings survey period ending overnight, the 9Network has once again won the year with all key demographics and Total People, with a huge lead of 3.3 share points over its nearest competitor in the coveted 25-54 demographic. Nine’s primary channel also ranks No. 1 in 2020 with all key demographics and Total People. And in the BVOD space, 9Now is Australia’s No. 1 CFTA BVOD platform. The network’s continued dominance in linear viewing and BVOD streaming is driven by a premium slate of Australian content that delivers year-round consistency of advertiser-preferred demographics. Michael Healy, Nine’s Director of Television, said: “We’re extremely proud that once again our slate has resonated so strongly with the demos we program our content for: People 25-54, 16-39 and Grocery Shoppers with Child. In 2020 we continued to deliver on our promise to provide a year-round schedule of hit shows. From _Married at First Sight_ , to _LEGO Masters_ , _Australian Ninja Warrior_ and _The Block_ , our tentpole programs all delivered huge audiences in those key demos. Despite the challenges of COVID, we were able to work with our production partners to ensure all these programs made it to air. “In arguably the biggest news year of our lives, audiences flocked to our suite of news and current affairs programs. I’m also thrilled that viewers have embraced our new- look _Today_ show which has posted double digit audience growth in every capital city and is now regularly winning its slot with those key demos. Michael Stephenson, Nine’s Chief Sales Officer, said: “In an extraordinary year, where television production schedules across the board were disrupted by COVID, Nine delivered the things we aim for every year: consistency across our schedule throughout the full year and clear leadership in the key demographics that matter to advertisers. To me, the thing I’m proudest of is our dominance across total television - looking at both linear television and digital BVOD - Nine is the place that audiences turn to for news and entertainment and marketers can rely on throughout the year to deliver real results for their business.” ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/f/8fee21f41b9a1bb638cb74968f942e24d35f05a5.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/3/d/3dca3fdefef124da4bdf9b08fd79b7b10e62c44b.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/e/3/e3127be46a33fbb70c969fd932281da34a306cac.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/d/a/da9c58ae002e31d8e6d7418fdd9c32a0e04d73f6.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/c/4/c45564f0c39ac2a7528f4cefc342a6beb44fc155.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/b/b/bb67dcfd25a0fbebb55f95b62e4dbaa749adf2d1.png) ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/3/e/3e1414479d97a431bf7d46bd9afacdfef84776e3.png) ---

Nine’s ratings report. Clearly the easiest to write from a PR point of view with the network backing up last year’s win with another in both total people and key demographics - network and main channel. Note that the network share from Nine generally are referring to 28-day consolidated, as opposed to the more generally accepted 7-day, though that doesn’t change the outcome. ---

I feel Nine was the network least affected by COVID-19 (even though it disrupted the filming of The Block and caused Travel Guides to be pulled from the schedule and rescheduled for 2021). It was able to get most of its programs on air albeit with modifications, e.g. The Voice with no studio audience for the playoffs. Its 7.30pm tentpoles often won their timeslots even though its ratings were slightly down on last year. ---

Channel Nine should be very happy that they’ve won back to back official ratings season. Nine had a strong start to the year with the Australian Open (especially the Kyrgios-Nadal match with provided 1.872 million viewers) as well as Married at First Sight. Married at First Sight 2020 was down from last year. After Easter, Lego masters did well and provided good numbers. After the Voice finished, AUstralian Ninja Warrior premiered in late July 2020. This year’s Ninja Warrior was down from last year, though it still did well in the demos. The 2020 NRL Grand Final did pretty well with 2.106 million Metro viewers tuning into watch the match. The State of Origin was down from last year (due to COVID-19 lockdowns), though it still rated well during primetime. State of Origin Game 1 failed to reach 100,000 viewers in the South Australian capital. (Adelaide is mostly an AFL city. This was why the ratings are quite low in the SA Capital). NEvertheless, the State of Origin did pretty well in Live Streaming. Next year, will be interesting with The Voice moving to Channel SEven. THey will have new shows including The Celebrity Apprentice Australia, Beauty and the Geek Australia and Amazing Grace. ---

Even though Seven’s AFL GF was without question daylight first, interesting to see how dominant _WWOS_ was during 2020, nearly every program in _top sports_ belonged to Nine! And around half of that was actually from the ‘summer of tennis’ out of ratings, they’ll be desperate to ensure it all goes ahead (as much as possible) next year ---

The key was it wasn’t paired with Fox Sports. The exclusive sport idea is the correct one.
