The ABC attracted the biggest TV audience for its federal election coverage on Saturday night on a result that became clear as early at 8.30pm. The night produced a huge reach figure totalling over 13 million across all networks. ABC’s line up on main channel and ABC News channel delivered almost 50% of the audience commencing with a national news bulletin at 5pm with 377k. Election coverage then stared at 5.30 pm with Australia Votes: Polls Closing that averaged 1.09 million. Then followed - 7pm Australia Votes: Election Night Live was 2.0 million - 8:30pm Australia Votes: Election Results Live had a massive 2.36 million. That was higher in reach and average than all episodes of Married At First Sight and the number one show of 2025 so far. - 10pm Australia Votes: The People’s Decision was just under 2 million - 11pm Australia Votes: Election Latest finished with a tribute to Antony Greene was over one million. Nine had the next best entry in the rankings. Their coverage was broken into - Election 2025: Australia Decides - Polls Close at 5pm following the NRL with 350k. - 7pm Election 2025: Australia Decides - Vote Count at almost 600k - 8pm Election 2025: Australia Decides - Election Night Live with 527k - 10pm PM Election 2025: Australia Decides – Analysis dropping to 439k Seven’s election coverage started a national bulletin at 4pm AEST with 7NEWS: Election Day with 172k. Dedicated Election coverage started at 5pm with 7NEWS: Australia Decides – Election with 328k. The evening was broken up into - 7NEWS: Australia Decides: First Count at 7pm with 580k - 7NEWS: Australia Decides: The Result from 8pm also on 580k that finished ahead of the advertised time at 10.30pm 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. ---

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). ---

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. ---

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! ---
