Seven’s Ashes coverage saw the Fourth Test fill 11 places in the top 30 for the final ratings week of the year. The preliminary numbers for the final day of the Third Test also made the top rankings. The Sydney Sixers V Melbourne Stars match ranked 21st as the top BBL result of the season so far.

The annual Carols by Candlelight broadcast again delivered for host broadcaster Nine, ranking fifth overall with just under 1.5 million. Other entertainment shows included a Christmas With Delta encore, The 1% Club UK and in 30th place The Yearly.

Nine’s Sydney to Hobart coverage ranked 34th and ABC’s HM The King’s Message 45th. The final of Jamie Durie’s Dream House was 59th while 10’s best result came from its news service in 77th place.

Carols by Candlelight broadcast again delivered for host broadcaster Nine, ranking fifth overall with just under 1.5 million

Looks like the Christmas Day encore must’ve been internally coded separately, without the coding description having to be altered (unless Nine later did end up adjusting the encore’s description to such).

As the first run/live broadcast’s number was unchanged. Surprised it didn’t go up a little with catch-up, maybe anybody who missed or wanted to re-watch indeed just watched the encore instead.

[TV.Cynic]

As I compiled the list, I was able to avoid that issue.
