Animals Aboard With Dr. Harry was Saturday’s top entertainment show making the top five with just 466k. That was just ahead of ABC’s Call The Midwife Season Premiere that had 447k.

The first main channel night session of The United Cup featuring Australia v Norway did well to average 401k on Nine with 112k for the Late Session. That followed the day session on 180k.

The numbers were well up on last year when the Saturday night session averaged 189k after the day had 108k.

Meanwhile, Love It or List Australia was up 60k to almost 300k on 10. That followed The Dog House Australia that had earlier averaged 200k.

Seven’s movie Kindergarten Cop just missed the top 10 with 312k, even with a repeat of Vera Farewell Pet on ABC. The later premiere movie Nope on Seven had 84k.

In the afternoon Seven’s Horse Racing had 128k.

Nine News had a +200k win at 6pm as Seven’s bulletin dropped to 783k to be just ahead of ABC News on 760k. (see coding error)

Weekend Sunrise had 376k to lead Weekend Today on 279k.

On the final day UC received standalone spotlight, it enjoyed even better ratings than D1. Those are the averages for the day.

But now it’s going to be trounced by the Ashes - even dead-rubber - until Tuesday/Wednesday. Even tennis focus will be split with Brisbane International on 9Go.

5

Possible coding error, since there is no seperate coding for their 5pm news, causing their results to merge. It definitely aired yesterday.

Good results for the Tennis. It helped that Australia were playing. The United Cup returns to 9Gem tonight (main channel during the day).

The ABC did well again for a Saturday night - thanks to Call the Midwife and Vera.

Love It Or List It still performing well for 10. Am hoping that 10’s schedule holds up when the “ratings season” starts in Feb. Hope they have enough episodes of Selling Houses and Love It to last several months.

There was a coding error of sorts - checking the 16-39 demo there are 2 entries for Seven News - note the lack of space in the first one - so one of the larger markets had the 6pm news under a different name.

Is it that or because it’s on the main channel?

I don’t know, and we never will, since it’s only on the main channel in primetime if Australia plays. (In the group stage that is.)

I don’t agree with it but I can see why they arrange it that way.

9

I’d say a combination of both, I guess - Australia playing, and being on the main channel.

Being a Saturday night too - Nine would have aired an old movie anyway. lol.

Would’ve probably been higher and seen more interest into the night, had Alex de Minaur played well, struggling very early with a series of unforced errors and an upset loss to Casper Ruud, despite Storm Hunter winning prior.

–

Indiana Jones encore did well for 9Gem.

That’s a terrible performance, we’ve seen some later Saturday films on Seven and Nine manage well over 200k, although often with an earlier pre-10pm start.
