It was a big day of cricket on Seven with day one of the third Ashes test match in the afternoon and Big Bash League Sydney Sixers v Adelaide Strikers in prime time.

The Ashes saw the final session of the day topp one million with session two rating 824k and making the top five. Session one had earlier averaged 618k.

Later, The Strikers win in the BBL averaged 683k with 437k for the post game segment.

ABC’s Hard Quiz Battle of the Networks, suspiciously won by ABC, surged to over 700k to be the day’s top entertainment show. Next best was a Spicks And Specks encore (that replace The Yearly) while RBT on Nine had was down +100k to 459k.

Airport 24/7 on 10 had just 168k but that was 30k up on last week’s Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service. Costco At Christmas on SBS managed just 71k.

Later, Paramedics had 409k and 10’s movie Jack Reacher 168k.

So from 10:30am until 10:30pm AEDT, 7 averaged more than 600k in viewers. That’s pretty good and they would be happy with it.

It definitely feels like the BBL has improved viewership in the last 2 seasons after earlier seasons on 7 averaged less than 500k

Seven won all markets except Brisbane that was won by Nine.

Narrow metro win for Seven News.

The Chase was 30 mins in Adelaide.

Hard Quiz Battle of the Networks rated higher than last year’s Neighbours special, which averaged 574,000 nationally.

Sully · December 18, 2025, 3:06am

VOZ (total national) now though remember, that was OzTAM 5 City Metro broadcast.

Apple75 · December 18, 2025, 4:22am

I’m talking about 22/23 & 23/24 seasons. both had voz ratings (after 7 days). In those seasons BBL was getting like 300-400k metro (sometimes under 300k) LIVE and after the 7 day voz getting around 450-550k which would be the actual metro + regional LIVE number given 7 had no streaming.

Marco_Polo · December 18, 2025, 8:21am

I said this before as well. Every code that isn’t called the A league has seen a noticeable upshift on FTA in the past 2 years. I wonder due to the cost of living issues, there’s more people returning back to FTA? Regardless, Nine should be looking at these figures with great enthusiasm, because Tennis will start soon and that will be a surefire hit too. This is where Channel 10 has gone wrong. 7 and 9 can sustain their networks by having sports on their channels (which is decline proof) and 10 doesn’t really have anything.

Ay_Jay · December 18, 2025, 10:13am

@TV.Cynic

Is this the Average Rating for the Double Episode or just the 1st, earlier Episode.??

And wondering what was the Ratings for the 10 News Lunchtime??
