The AFL’s second Wildcard Final of the season saw another close contest that was eventually won by Carlton over Melbourne. The audience of 894k compared to the first wildcard final that had 966k on Friday.

In NRL Saturday Night Footy the Cowboys easily defeated the Tigers at home to secure a finals spot with the game drawing 433k for Nine compared to the previous week’s game that had 339k. The movie Kong: Skull Island that followed just made the top 30 with 103k.

ABC’s premiere UK dramas Grantchester (483k) and Father Brown (339k) again provided a popular alternative to sport with a repeat of Midsomer Murders later on 206k.

Meanwhile, 10’s Selling Houses Australia had 257k while earlier, a Gogglebox Australia Encore debuted in the top 30 with 179k. Queen Elizabeth II: The Unseen Photos 7.30pm premiere saw a rare Saturday entry for SBS just making the top rankings with 117k.

Seven’s Horse Racing was the only afternoon sport listed and had 125k.

Seven News was the sole program over one million though Nine News had a five-week Saturday high at just under 900k.

Weekend Sunrise made the top 10 with 418k to be well ahead of Weekend Today that slipped to 273k while Weekend Breakfast had 159k.

Lower than what 7 & AFL probably expected.

But 7 had the post match starting at 10:30pm but the match finished at 10:05pm so the post match inside the rooms started around 10:15pm

so possibly they might code things a bit differently for the 7 day consolidation part

5

The two AFL wildcard finals drew big crowds to the MCG and impressive TV ratings, they will definitely return next year.

The reach and average tables are the same.

Well that just proved to Ch 7 that no one watches AFL on a Saturday night, right?
