Week 16 2023

Change from 2023

A generally positive week with most bulletins up and where there was a fall it minimal. Nine’s bulletin posted a 40,000 gain with Seven up 14,000.

I’ve added a new table that show the percentage change from the same week last year. Nine is up 5% and Seven down 9%. Melbourne continues to be notable for a 35% turnaround.

Melbourne numbers are unbelievable. Still can’t believe just how right Nine got it with their lineup.

Week 17 saw Seven win its first week in Melbourne thanks two wins on Wednesday and Thursday, post AFL, that saw the biggest news audience for any bulletin of the year. Seven also made up ground in Brisbane with four wins across the week. Overall that saw Seven up 33k and Nine down 23k from the previous week.

When compared to week 17 of 2023, however, Seven showed significant losses in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth while Nine was up in Melbourne and Perth representing a 25% turnaround in both markets in one year.
