ABC’s coverage of Sydney’s Midnight Fireworks topped 2 million average viewers this year with the Countdown to Midnight also doing well with 1.742m. The earlier Calling Country Fireworks at 9pm had almost 1.2m watching while the Live Concert from the Sydney Opera House had 1.067m.

Earlier, The Yearly With Charlie Pickering had 533k leading into Welcome to NYE that had almost 800k.

The results compared to last year when the Midnight Fireworks had 1.968 m, Countdown to Midnight had 1.6m, Calling Country Fireworks 1.197 m and the 2024 Live Concert 993k with the Welcome to NYE averaging 636k last year. At 7.30pm The Yearly had 408k.

Over on Seven, the Big Bash League where Adelaide won by 7 wickets over Brisbane had 534k to make the top 10 but with the lowest result of the season so far. RBT on Nine had 468k with the movie New Year’s Eve on 233k.

Only one of 10’s prime time programs made the top 30 thanks mostly to a large reach audience with MTV New Year Hits just scraping in on 81k while rage on ABC had 142k.

Nine’s Melbourne New Year’s Eve 2025 Fireworks missed the top 30 this year after averaging 212k last year. Later, Can’t Stop The Music made the list with 152k.

At 6pm Seven News was 50k ahead of Nine. At breakfast Today closed the winning margin for Sunrise to less than 100k while News Breakfast dropped back below 200k.

ABC’s NYE coverage dominated the ratings once again.

We always have such high rating events at the start of the OzTAM calendar year and so close together:

Carols by Candlelight, Boxing Day Test, Sydney NYE and the Australian Open.

Right before Survey/Q1 kicks off.

Why doesn’t Nine show this nationally? Just the time difference factor?

Talk back radio in Brisbane was asking why the Brisbane fireworks weren’t shown.

10

I’d suggest ABC going until 1am AEDT so that it can cover that and Adelaide. Easier said than done obviously.

The NYE Fireworks rated through the rood, as expected. The NYE Concert did well to average above the million mark.

Not bad number for Nine’s Can’t Stop the Music (NYE staple) for an 10.55pm start in most cities.

10’s MTV New Year’s Hits did alright with the reach. But not so well with the average. Then again, it was a 9.45pm start and ran past that 2am OzTam Cutoff (if there was one ratings coding), so it may have had the chance to average higher.

Didn’t it run to 1.15am?

3.45am according to the guides (in Sydney at least).
