ABC is number 1 from 7.00 to 9.30 for exclusive FTA budget coverage (in terms of showing the speech itself live).

The figures also include NC.

JohnsonTV · May 13, 2026, 1:48am

I was wondering why the ABC’s Budget coverage got such big numbers.

Last year’s Budget night (March 25) was up against Married at First Sight and Australian Survivor.

Who Do You Think You Are? season premiere got 297,000, up from last year’s 251,000.

yellow_sock · May 13, 2026, 1:51am

A great result for the ABC with Budget Night. A good number also for the Insiders Special.

Under the 16-39 demo:

Wasn’t in the total listings, but what’s this “fallout” special?

In other news, a good start for SBS with the return of Who Do You Think You Are

Seems like Perth is the only market that likes “My Reno”

Odd market.

Not at all. It’s the only market that Seven regularly topped ratings in general.

MickRidgers · May 13, 2026, 9:44pm

To be honest over here most of the time we could only get the 7 signal. now its apps I can scan around

BJT2 · May 13, 2026, 11:33pm

Correct, hence why I used the term ‘Ódd’ or the ‘‘odd one out’’.
