10’s coverage included 5pm at 5pm then Election coverage from 6pm to 10:38pm managing just 97k. 10’s news at 5pm was the top entry for the network.

Sky News also got an entry for its coverage across regional Australia.

The afternoon’s Magic Round NRL was very one sided with the Knights overcoming Souths to just over 300k.

6pm news bulletins saw Nine ahead of Seven with both over 900k.

One of the most interesting ratings results this year, especially with the entrance of Sky News Regional.
Huge audience for ABC. Nine and Seven both quite even.
10 got slaughtered. I applaud their efforts and I enjoyed their coverage, but as we’ve said on here before, people just don’t turn to 10 for news; especially when you consider the reach number.

Huge figures for ABC in this day and age with media fragmentation. Good to see Australians turning to the national broadcaster for the coverage.

I would argue that seven did a better job than nine in terms of the commercial free to air and this is shown via the numbers.

Shame 10 didn’t do well despite the coverage actually being quite good. Their reach figure was decent so people did at least taste the coverage for a few seconds here and there.

Overall the national reach of 13.1m is great to see. The people are engaged with the seriousness of such a result and watch the demise of the extremism that Dutton was trying to force Australians to accept.

Sky ineffective as usual.

Huge numbers for the ABC’s election coverage.

10’s coverage just missed the top 10 based on reach, but it rated poorly on average.

11

ABC’s metro broadcast must’ve been in the mid-1m, enormous for today! A standout the ABC.

12

Must be one of the first times also there wasnt any sort of entertainment (scripted/reality/cooking/gardening/etc) in the top 30. All sport and news - one trump show sneaking into a demo.
Since its all reach, harder to tell, but with a 97k average, im assuming 10 was below some other channels.

10’s average may have been low (like usual), but remember that they only had one entry for the election, compared to several coding from the ABC, Seven and Nine.

We dont know how 10 averaged early in the night, compared to later (yes, probably not much higher than their average).

14

Very true, but going by last weeks table where Number 30s reach was 500k and 10 had 2 entries above that, this weeks number 30 was 464k and no other entries for 10, so im guessing it was probably even lower than usual.

How did 10s broadcast compare to 2022?

16

10 either need to not air rolling election coverage (and try some decent counter programming to lure viewers not wanting to watch it all night) or even try something completely different. This could be a really good or really bad idea but maybe try getting some comedians on a panel and have a more lighthearted look at the election, even include sport and other news/topics in there as well. Some sort of point of difference could appeal to younger viewers more, rather than try to compete with similar content to the other networks.

Once again Ten need to not listen to those who think Ten should try this and that. It is a division of Paramount, its value is in maximising money flow towards CBS Distribution and their other properties.

What a waste of money it’s election coverage was, don’t do it again!

Ten should just dump its News division entirely. Absolute pointless and useless news service.

21

At times it’s their highest rating content. Even beating its prime time offerings. They need it to remain relevant and provide local content.
