Saturday’s primetime AFL Elimination Final saw a win for Adelaide to eliminate the Western Bulldogs averaging 960k. That was up on last year’s game that had 914k while leaving last Thursday’s final as the top AFL game of the season so far. In the afternoon’s Qualifying Final, Sydney easily beat Brisbane with the game running overtime and slightly delaying the news in eastern states. The average rating was 786k to dominate the afternoon. That compared to the Saturday afternoon game last year that was an elimination final and had 699k. The last NRL Saturday Night Footy saw the Storm score a last-minute win over the Sharks with 409k tuning in, down 20k from last week’s game. In Queensland, Riverfire did well again with 298k though that was down from last year’s record audience of 354k. Nine’s movie Dunkirk later had 122k. British drama remained popular with ABC viewers as Grantchester had 464k while Father Brown followed with 399k. Later, Midsomer Murders also made the top ranking table with 226k. 10’s line up included new Selling Houses Australia with 246k, down slightly from last episode while a Gogglebox Australia Encore earlier was up to 187k. Seven News that included a 30 min bulletin in Perth from 5pm topped the night with 1.153m and Nine News was number two with 1.014m. It was the first time since February that both Saturday bulletins topped one million viewers. Weekend Sunrise dominated breakfast TV with 414k to make the day’s top 10 up against Weekend Today that had 264k and Weekend Breakfast +100k behind with 155k. ---

The two AFL matches did really well for Seven yesterday. ABC’s primetime dramas did well too, especially against the sports from Seven and Nine. 10’s line-up doing alright too. For a few years, nothing would make the top 30. These days, the 7.30pm slot (usually Selling Houses or Love It or List It) have been consistently making the list, and of late, the 6.30pm slots too (Dog House Aus, and now a Gogglebox repeat). ---
