Apple75 · December 19, 2025, 1:00am

Similar to yesterday, from 10:30am to 10:30pm AEDT, 7 averaged more than 715k. They would definitely be happy with those numbers. It improved from Wednesday.

Today & tomorrow if the test goes into late D4 will probably be higher but 7 does not have BBL tonight & tmr so it won’t be domination for 12 hours like D1 & D2

JohnsonTV · December 19, 2025, 1:00am

Seven dominated for most of the day thanks to Sunrise, cricket and the 6pm news.

The Chase winning in Adelaide and Perth, and close in Brisbane, no doubt buoyed by the cricket. The reverse will happen when the tennis kicks in I expect.

ekane · December 19, 2025, 2:50am

Very interesting to breakdown. Thanks @TV.Cynic

I KNOW it’s getting hot and summers almost here and it’s the silly season, but lord, 10…. So much rpt and encore shoved in there. Hope it brings them some money.

And yes you’re right about that shocking News+ figure. Guess it’s not finished bottoming out yet, in a week that probably should’ve seen some of its best figures.

Nicholas · December 19, 2025, 2:53am

The entire audience of 10N+ less than any single market for Nine News. Wow… That is beyond woeful.

Marco_Polo · December 19, 2025, 2:57am

10 could literally air anything and it would rate higher than news+. It simply isn’t needed because viewers will flock to 7 and 9. 10 needs to realise that they don’t have anything to offer that would sway those viewers to their news program and focus more on being the only major network without a news bulletin in that slot. It’s a shame Ten doesn’t have AFL/NRL or cricket. Because those codes can never air a program at 6pm given the news obligations, and 10 has a perfectly good timeslot going to waste.

News727 · December 19, 2025, 2:57am

It was TMS yesterday, what are they on about?

TV.Cynic · December 19, 2025, 3:05am

There was no TMS yesterday. Sunrise continued through to the start of cricket coverage at 9.30am in Sydney and Melbourne.

TV.Cynic · December 19, 2025, 3:07am

Usually no Tipping Point during the tennis that runs straight into the news for 2 weeks. Unless Nine make a change this year.
