Nine surged to a huge Sunday win – up 3 points from last week while Seven dropped almost 3 points. ABC was down 2 while SBS and 10 posted gains.

It was Seven’s lowest Sunday result and Nine’s best for 16 weeks. Nine won all markets except Perth where Seven was boosted but a double digit result from 7Mate.

Nine won every prime time timelsot. The Block rated lower than the previous week but 60 Minutes was up 160,000. Plate Of Origin sank below 500,000, down 210,000 from the launch episode the previous Sunday. In 25-54 it ranked 8th (below The Project 7pm).

The Victorian Media Conference on ABC News made the top 20.

Family Feud missed the top 20 for 10.

A terrible barely 15% main channel share for Seven on the biggest night of the week, seeing Nine’s main channel share match Seven’s network and Nine run away by nearly 10%!

Only worse result was 10’s disastrous performance again.

7mate and 9Go! tied in multi-channels, I’m guessing the final 30min of AFL in Perth which landed into prime time there helping (165k!) AFL in Melbourne was surprisingly solid, considering the blow-out from the start, suggesting it might’ve hit 300k otherwise.

Seven’s failed Plate of Origin still made the Top 10, showing how low the FTA environment really is.

Enormous audience in Melbourne for a multi-channel in day time, must be some sort of market record for that time of day surely!?

Big audience for ABC News channel’s coverage of Daniel Andrews press conference at midday AEST, announcing the lockdown roadmap for Victoria. It rated highly in Melbourne. (It was coded as Close of Business)

Poor ratings for Plate of Origin and Family Feud, while Between Two Worlds ended on a low.

Close call between Seven and Nine News in Adelaide as Seven goes below 100,000.

Family Feud’s ratings are worse than POO…

Right! In the wake of POO’s disappointing ratings, I’ve forgotten that Family Feud is still running (it isn’t even in the Top 20). It was a great idea by 10 to do a special for frontline workers, but I feel like that format died a long time ago. Any hopes of reviving it would be squashed by now.

#8

Hardly comparable. Family Feud is just filling gaps left due to COVID. POO was Seven’s big hope for a new cooking reality format.

Time to flush it down the toilet.

How many episodes is All New Monty this year? Seven would be better off getting rid of POO and have Monty air two nights a week if possible.

There’s still Mates on a Mission too and they could air that too and I would think they would do better than POO.

As for Between Two Worlds, we won’t be seeing that on FTA again any time soon.

No, the Melbourne audience was even higher on August 2 (also a Sunday), when Daniel Andrews announced the stage 4 lockdown for the city. It reached as high as 465,000 in preliminary figures.

Three (was originally four episodes I think).

You can’t just keep “getting rid” of shows and burn through all your new content. What happens if the next thing flops too? They still need content to take them to the end of the year.

But if you add the News Channel and primary channel figures for yesterday’s Dan Andrews presser, ABC had over half a million viewers at noon in Melbourne.

No network coded the program separately so my best guesses are based on the program at 12:30pm

As previously mentioned ABC had
ABC NEWS CLOSE OF BUSINESS - 5th in Melbourne
And at the same time on the main channel ABC NEWS 9th

There was little competition from the commercials with Nine seemingly the best.
Nine had Sports Sunday at that time; it ranked 18th with about 30% of the audience of the 2 ABC channels.
Seven’s House of Wellness was a distance 3rd in 50th place in Melbourne, ahead of 10’s Farm to Fork 62nd.

Note that these are the average audience of the program listed for those times.

Another way to look is the peak audiences for the programs which were

5 ABC NEWS ABC NEWS - 1pm news immediately following Close of Business
7 ABC NEWS CLOSE OF BUSINESS
13 ABC (Main channel) ABC NEWS
20 Nine SPORTS SUNDAY
28 Seven HOUSE OF WELLNESS
73 10 FARM TO FORK

An extremely rare 1% share for 7Two, very low, corresponding with a new programming line-up last night which clearly bombed. Expect that to he swiftly changed.

Second lowest commercial multi-channel, even lower than 9Life and sister 7flix, even SBS Viceland on a public broadcaster.

If only Seven or Ten had some proper competition for the Sunday night episodes of The Block. That rubbish deserves less than half the ratings it got last night!

Haha, I see what you did there! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Without posting the exact number to keep in-line with Media Spy’s agreement with OzTam, Ten received just under 250k metro viewers for Family Feud last night.

Needs to be bumped to Friday or Saturday nights immediately, because even a movie would probably pull a higher number!

ABC News deserves those numbers. Very quick on the ball with breaking into the live pressers, they run with full QandA and I find the presentation easier on the eyes compared to the others with big bold in your face graphics.

Good to see ABC’s Australia Remastered at 6pm doing well. It beat 10’s News (6pm portion) and The Project (6.30 portion).

ABC News during the day blitzed the competition, understandably.
