The latest Matildas game helped disrupt Wednesday night TV habits that saw a rare tie for second place between Nine and 10 while 10’s main channel took out second place outright. It was 10’s best Wednesday share of the year and saw the network top all key demos.

While the Matlidas V Chines Taipei has some good late night numbers to finish in eight place for the night, there were some low numbers across reality TV shows.

Top ranked was the season final of SAS Australia that averaged 351,000. The result was a season low for the franchise and on par with its result last year that concluded with 351,000. This season had otherwise lifted from 2022’s that had been scheduled earlier in the year against Married At First Sight. The average overnight audience this year was 411,000.

Next best was The Amazing Race that was equal with the previous week while the second episode of My Mum Your Dad slipped lightly from Tuesday’s season premiere.

Meanwhile Hard Quiz and Question Everything posted increases for ABC.

And at breakfast Today was ahead of Sunrise.

456,000 is the second highest overnight audience for the Matildas in this round of women’s Olympic football qualifying, despite the match being held on a work and school night. In Perth it also ranked second overall behind Seven News.

Not an ideal finish for this season of SAS Australia, even though it has already renewed for 2024.

Definitely better for everyone with a competitive Ten. It pushes the other networks to improve.

The problem with football on a Wednesday night is you can’t have the Matildas play every week, and there simply isn’t the interest in the A-Leagues to support solid ratings.

Melbourne seems to be moving away from Sunrise these days.

Yes - more people in Brisbane watched Sunrise than in Melbourne - on Monday Sunrise had more viewers in Perth than Melbourne.

Many people here said there would be no interest in the Matilda’s after the Workd Cup and soccer would never rate for Ten

They now have egg on their face

I can see Seven and Sunrise struggling further in Melbourne next year.

Shirvington was a terrible choice as Sunrise host, he is very Sydney-centric.

There is growing interest in the Matildas after the World Cup and that interest could be sustained with a good result in Paris next year. There will be some good nights for Ten with Matildas games on the run in to then.

However, you still seem to be wedded to Wednesday night football and that the World Cup would bring increased viewership to ALL of Ten’s football offerings, not just the Matildas. There was high ratings for the men’s World Cup run but there was no run-on effect to the A-League. There were even higher ratings for the Women’s World Cup run and there was no run-on effect to the Women’s A-League.

Football in Australia is a lot like rugby: people watch the internationals but there is little real interest in the club competition.
