Seven v Nine News Ratings Comparisons

Week 51 is also correct - it is a slightly different calculation for that week as Nine News did not run at 6.30pm every night.

How was it calculated then? You can’t compare apples and oranges and call it an average?

Or at least it should be asterisked

Each bulletin gets an average for each day and the weekly average is calculated from that.

So when 7 has 5 x 6.30 half hours and 9 doesn’t, how do you compare the averages?
Say 9 only has 3 x 6.30 half hours do you add them to the 5 x 6.00 half hours and divide by 8?
If so, that’s not really a fair comparison to 7s x 10 half hours as the combination is different.
Sorry …Just trying to understand how you’ve worked it out…

Some large drops almost across the board. Seven News down 85,000 at 6pm and Nine down 52,000.

Seven News doesn’t do well during the Australian Open (unless a thriller match leads-in, which one day did right on 6pm and they won well).

Viewers preferring regular game shows.

As Cynic has said, Nine should really capitalise on it!

Surprising to see Adelaide so strong for Nine News given sevens usual dominance.

Not a good week for Nine News. Ironically Seven went backwards only in Melbourne.

Look at particularly the 6pm ratings in Perth, around a 100k margin :open_mouth:

I know that’s well documented, but that margin is especially awful and a new presenter there.

Seven News doing well in Brisbane thus far.

A nice clear win in Brisbane for Seven but Melbourne went a step back this week.

Hot Set seems to be out passing The Chaser in Sydney and Melbourne at the moment.

Close in Sydney and Brisbane, with Seven winning the latter.

Let’s hope Seven Brisbane can keep this winning streak. Why anyone would watch Nine News Queensland is beyond me.
