Seven had its biggest Sunday win of the year with a 32.4% share up from last week thanks to the second part of the Farmer Wants A Wife finale. The audience of 737,000 was a season high and compared to last year that had 523,000 in September. 2021âs rating was 835,000.
For Nine, the second Sunday episode of The Summit posted a modest 40k gain on the season launch of the previous week after a massive campaign across last week to try to generate more interest in the franchise. That featured last weekâs three episodes encoring multiple times on the main channel and a big cross promotional push. Whether landing third in the reality stakes is enough to save the show, the rest of the week and catch-up viewing will help determine. Nineâs network share was even with last week.
Over at 10, MasterChef picked up some extra viewers to help 10 to be up 2 points from last Sunday. The show was the top reality franchise in all key demos.
Not much change for ABCâs share as The Messenger (that picked up well in consolidated) missed out a the top 20 listing. As expected, SBS shed 3 points without Eurovision.
Earlier, Seven News posted a +200k win at 6pm to get Seven off to a good start. That is the highest rated Sunday news bulletin of the year featuring another +300k audience for Melbourne.
Later, the contest between current affairs and late news continued. 7 News Spotlight again bettered 60 Minutes though both were down week-on-week. Nine News Late then pipped The Latest on Seven by 2k with the two bulletins seeming to cannibalise each otherâs audience.
Bluey put in another outstanding performance in the morning for ABC.
Impressive figures for Farmer Wants a Wife with one more episode to go (reunion).
I noticed that Sevenâs AFL: Sunday Afternoon Football didnât have a figure for Sydney. GWS v St Kilda aired on 7mate in Sydney yesterday from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. Was it coded separately?

This actually didnât provide any lead-in, youâd imagine anyway (apart from promotion for Farmer etc), as it was telecast very early from 11am live local time, finishing by 2pm. And West Coast were absolutely whipped, to the point of headline news out west, many media calling it their lowest point in 15 years or possibly ever, so thatâs some very loyal and dedicated 48,000 viewers! Unless they were Fremantle or neutral fans.
Itâs weird they did that, there wasnât another game in Nsw yesterday either and way closer to the est coding of Sevenâs produced game (Carl v Coll) than say Perthâs Wce v Haw which was some 2hrs 20min out. I thought they usually coded as âGame 1â or âGame 2â markets outside Victoria with multiple games due to local teams on Fox Footy.
Ten should definitely invest in more straight news coverage because that is where the tv audience is, especially programed into timeslots when the other stations are not running
It is also obvious from the ratings that woke commentary programs are on the nose eg. The Project, Q and A etc, so no need to keep flogging the dead horse at 6.30pm
Can you please provide some specific examples of woke commentary on this show? When did the woke commentary air? You keep citing this as the reason for the decline in ratings but havenât actually provided specific examples of the ongoing allegedly woke commentary.
I reckon that is the third time Collingwood Sunday games have got around 250K or higher on foxtel despite being up against parallel AFL games (though obviously Hawthorn v West Coast is no blockbuster in the now times.
If you honestly cannot grasp the concept that the ABC and The Project skew left and that Sky News skews right, then Iâm not sure what youâre watching
Needless to say all the above are performing poorly
I am looking forward to Stan Grantâs performance tonight and the impact (if any) on the ratings tomorrow
I personally donât see any evidence of âleftishâ programming or comments on either the ABC or The Project that bears any resemblance to the right wing tripe spewed by Sky nightly. As others have asked please provide evidence of the content you view as leftish from The Project. Also go check the meaning of âwokeâ used in this context. It has been demonised by Republicans and other American ratbags who only care about themselves. Personally I am extemely happy to be âwokeâ!
A thought on immediate future⊠I can see Summit still coming last (in the commercial stakes) at least on Sundays over coming weeks, to Spotlight (moves to 7pm and has been on a roll) and MasterChef. And thatâs presuming the former can hold even 400k, itâll probably still trail in regionals, time shift and bvod too.
And if first run Highway Patrol can grab 300-400k of FTA audience tomorrow (which it also might not), along with 1% Club doing solid and MasterChef, if Summit is still low 400k or less, reckon thatâs a negative result going forward youâd have to think, also based on shows Nine have aired in recent years and axed for similar results but far cheaper to produce.
Tonight and tomorrowâs numbers could be very telling.
