Seven’s Thursday AFL coverage was of round one of the AFLW where Melbourne defeated Hawthorn by 17. The game was shown in Melbourne on Seven’s main channel but otherwise on 7Mate. The game had 182k after an equivalent game last year had 221k. In other markets for the network it was Highway Patrol with 390k and Air Crash Investigation with 285k.

NRL Thursday Night Footy was a top of the table clash that saw the Roosters beat the Panthers to average an impressive 761k for a five-month high. In AFL states, RBT had 309k and Emergency 263k.

On ABC from 8pm Back Roads visited Barcaldine to be up 100k to 506k while for Grand Designs it was the Season 24 Final with 423k.

A Dog House Australia repeat was on 10 from 7.30pm with 286k while the fifth episode of NCIS: Sydney that had been bumped to 8:40pm last week missed the top 30 again with 162k.

In the afternoon Seven’s coverage of the Frist Test Cricket Australia v Bangladesh saw Session 3 with 433k after Session 2 had 318k and Session 1 300k.

Seven News topped the night with 1.323m but was less than 100k clear of Nine News with 1.269m. 10 News at 5pm had 322k compared to 307k for last week’s Thursday bulletin. 6pm portion had 218k after 10 News+ had 157k last week.

Tipping Point had another good result at 5pm up 80k to 852k with no game show on Seven.

A Current Affair slipped below one million but was still number one in the 7pm timeslot with 962k. Home and Away had 898k to be the day’s top entertainment show and ABC News was on 850k.

It was another one-sided result at breakfast with Sunrise averaging 461k, Today with 287k and News Breakfast 228k.

The AFL’s decision not to schedule a game last night hurt Seven and gave the NRL a massive boost. I don’t think we will see this situation repeated next year.

A standalone AFLW game was a good idea but it’s a shame not many viewers embraced it. A similar thing happened when there was an NRLW game on Nine on Thursday night about two months ago.

Had the NRL’s matchup been any other than 1st vs 2nd, it’d have been fine.

Another ~100,000 win for Nine with most east coast markets underperforming recent results without The Chase as a lead in.

Today is more competitive on the east coast but not overall.

That whole 6-7:30pm slot is way up year on year, even with the game shows having their lower numbers, still a LOT of work to do, but going back 12 months, those numbers were dire.

Please.. if it’s possible for the outside the 30, because they are Never there, what was the Rating for Channel 10’s,

Millionaire Hot Seat Encore (12:30pm)

10 News Lunchtime (1pm)

Deal Or No Deal Encore (2pm)

Lingo (3:30pm)

15

The NRL on Nine did very well last night. Sadly, the AFLW on Seven/7Mate failed to make an impression.

The Dog House rpt on 10 did okay, but sadly, NCIS Sydney that followed did average numbers.

If the 6pm portion of 10’s News, Deal and Hot Seat are all above the 200k mark on a Thursday, is that a “success”? In 10s standards.

16

They are sometimes posted in the “winning Arvo” thread, comparing all 3 commercial channels.

17

AFLW shouldn’t be aired on primetime, like NRLW. It’s ratings poison, unfortunately. These games should be played during the day. Although, I doubt anyone would watch it then.

It shows The Finish Line is the Best in the Early Afternoon Schedule & Lingo is the Worst one, lacking them..

No more Numbers, but do you know if that’s Always/Usually how the Numbers are or is one higher than the other Usually.?

Thank You! @TV.Cynic
