Week 42 2022
Overall, 6pm news viewing was well down this week with Seven down an average 28,000 and Nine slipping by 39,000. That was despite of perhaps because of the big news story out of the Middle East. Though lead in viewing from the afternoon games shows was down including Hot Seat that had its lowest audience of the survey period.
Seven had a rare though in some cases very narrow win across all bulletins with every bulletin rating lower than in the equivalent week last year.
The Sydney market was basically a tie with Nine ahead at 6pm and Seven at 6.30pm. For Nine it was their worst performance in the market this survey and the lowest weekly audience since January.
Seven in Melbourne bucked the downward trend and posted a 7,000 improvement while Nine lost 15,000 viewers.
Seven notched up another win in Brisbane by less than 1,000 but it will help the bulletin’s average across the year in a tight contest with Nine.
Seven won Adelaide easily despite a 5,000 drop while Nine was one of the better performers compared to the previous week. In Perth Seven lost 8,000 and Nine 7,000.
