Week 16 2021
The first of two “non-ratings” weeks at Easter saw numbers well down on recent results. A few small increases failed to stop the flood of red in the table with Seven down 42,000 and Nine down 73,000. The largest drops were Seven in Sydney (22k) and Melbourne (20k) and Nine Sydney (47k).
In Melbourne, Seven’s poor Friday result at 7pm probably cost it the week with Nine winning across the hour. Major troubles continue for Nine in Brisbane with Seven pulling further ahead as Nine posts its lowest weekly audience in 2022. They will be hoping their “News for Queenslanders by Queenslanders” promo running on high rotation finds some traction.
As expected most bulletins are down on week 16 of 2021 that was not a lead in to Easter.

I do think Bec Maddern has played a part in lifting Seven Melbourne’s numbers. Money well spent here. Plus the new graphics have proven to be successful.
Let’s watch GTV9 come out with some big promos in the coming weeks.

I wouldn’t say dominated… seven has been very close to nine for many years. It’s only now we are see a wider gap appearing between the two.
Nine Melbourne did great during the COVID pandemic, but since COVID went out of news I did notice Nine Melbourne slide down
