Seven’s Great Outdoors was Saturday’s top entertainment show up 50k from last week to a season high of 523k. Ron Iddles: The Good Cop followed also up by 40k to 342k. The movie The Martian slipped below 200k. Meanwhile Seven’s only sports coverage to make the top 30 was the afternoon horse racing with AFL afternoon and evening both just in single states.

Nine’s second Saturday Night NRL of the season saw a four-point win for the Rabbitohs over the Eels, up 10k to 417k. Nine’s new deal to show the English Premier League saw its first FTA game with Aston Villa V Newcastle following the rugby league rating 236k, a good result for 9.30pm. A Current Affair in three markets had 284k.

Grantchester Season 10 concluded on ABC, up to 473k, a five-week high. Then a repeat episode of Midsomer Murders managed almost 300k.

The second episode of the new season of Selling Houses Australia disappointed by dropping 100k from the debut episode of the previous week to be 10’s only to 30 entry

Seven News has a narrow win at 6pm while Weekend Sunrise did well to average 436k and be 160k ahead of the competition. Weekend Breakfast also did well with its best result since March.

Seven execs would be peeved that last night’s epic Adelaide-Collingwood blockbuster was behind a paywall in every market except SA. It would have delivered huge ratings had it been on the national schedule.

This is very good. EPL is a good get. You’d think they’d at least air one game a week free to air. Even when it might be an 11pm or midnight start time when there is no 9:30pm game.

Another missed opportunity by paramount to try and link this with their Australian football rights. They’re leadership is a schamozzle and have no idea how to buy the right things to attract viewers and subscribers.

They want people to watch on Stan that’s why only 3 games are FTA.

7

Great reach numbers for the EPL and pretty good average numbers too - for the 9.30pm start (aest). Understand that Nine want people to go to Stan to watch their games there. But good to have these three sampler matches to get some more attention.

And sport competition, both FTA and STV, Seven would be quietly stoked I’d think. Seems they’ve found a winner there, heritage network brands still have it!

Nice for veterans James Tobin (host/narrator) and Andrew Green (Seven programming/director of 7Plus content - who lead the push for the show’s return according to the recent podcast with TV Central).

I know this.

As a way to promote, create a shop window. Whet the appetite and people may subscribe for more.

Not sure; Border Security repeats were getting +600k at the start of the year as well, so it seems Seven have plenty of options.

Any Saturday night AFL figures? It got 53k for 25-34 demo so I assume the total figure would be around 80-90k?

True, fair. But there’s something to be said about viewer fatigue, wouldn’t want to risk Border becoming too saturated and turning into a ratings bomb. Allows for some sustained rest.

And Great Outdoors surely has commercial arrangements/partnerships in place, so more revenue, on top of program sponsor(s) and spot buyers.
