Welcome to the new era of ratings reporting.

Read this post for details on interpreting the numbers posted.

In brief, the first column is the unique number of individuals who sampled a program for 1 minutes or more on linear viewing (15 minutes on-line). The next number is the national average for the program.

So for example almost 700k sampled The Gladiator final while the average across the broadcast was 282k. with 9k watching on 10Play - all nationally.

Ridiculous. These ratings reports are now practically useless. Reach is a stupid metric to base the top 30 off. Can’t decipher anything from this now; not even a network % breakdown.

Either way, seemingly a strong audience for the mens final nationally - not that we can easily compare it.

So does mean capital city breakdown is no longer available?

Breakfast TV is interesting where mist people just sample the show. Unfortunately networks are still split coding which is NOT in their interest at all.

That’s unfortunately correct.

These figures just looks so inflated and untealistic. I think there’s no point trying to analyse the ratings any more because they can easily be inflated by casual viewers tuning in for a minute.

This reach metric is absolutely ridiculous being front and centre and equating to rankings.

The only thing that I like is having the one report that captures overnights, BVOD and Regional ratings (rather than waiting until the afternoon for that seperate VOZ report) but I don’t like that nothing is broken down (even to have a 5 City vs Metro vs BVOD breakdown would be good).

Surely there will be a massive backlash to this and some more metrics will be added.

Probably only a problem to us unfortunately. Can’t see the large majority caring much about the change.

Either way, time to start a MediaSpy Change.org petition to bring back the linear ratings?

Not helpful for measuring the success of some capital city news bulletins.

Yeah I mean a backlash from the media and those utilizing the reports and data (like networks/advertisers).

I think the reach can be an interesting stat in some instances - especially for shows that go for more than a couple hours (like sporting coverages / morning news etc) as we know a lot of people will only watch a portion of it. But to set that metric at 1 minute is ridiculous - how is that valuable to advertisers? It should be 15 mins to actually be data that someone has watched a portion of it, rather than flicked it on and then flicked it off.

Agree, I mean during some ad breaks I might just switch over to something for a minute purely to avoid watching advertisements.

Looks like the finish to the cricket yesterday afternoon and in turn Seven News both got a boost, if you take away the high regional (probably near 400k for cricket and 400-500k for news plus another say 50-100k each for VOZ’s “rest of Australia” metric)… Metro broadcast must’ve been up around 800k/900k for both. Rather impressive. No bvod rights hurts though. Wonder what Foxtel/Kayo did then.

–

And the AO final went huge, naturally, looks like around 1.35m metro broadcast (give or take), considering Nine’s lower regional penetration but still subtracting that (probably around 500k) and bvod (over 300k - mammoth - a new men’s final record I believe?)

15

so come December when every network tells us they are #1, we just have to take their word for it. No way to track shares over the course of the year at all?

The reach figure can be useful but to make that the emphasis on the reporting gives an artificially inflated figure. Because yes i may have watched 60 seconds of show ‘x’ just while browsing shows to watch, so I am tagged as a viewer, even though I didn’t watch any more of the show or, more importantly, did not see any commercials within said show.

I would assume that networks/advertisers are given much more data than what is made public. They will be getting looked after.

We didn’t always agree on here but the thing we all had in common is that we enjoyd the ratings report every day and the battle between the shows and the networks

This new system really sucks now because it is way too hard to interpret these figures now

I can also see the value in the reach, but only as a subset with the average audience remaining as the main top 30 figurehead.

Reach comes in especially important in cases like this:

A huge difference in audience who actually stick around to watch the show.

Last year, Nine reported that the Men’s Final had a cumulative reach of 4.652 million. This year is comparable but includes the extra rest of Australia data.
