Please note: The report includes catch up minutes only and is not restricted to the five metropolitan cities. Live streaming channel viewing is not included. When broadcasters upgrade their video players, player measurement SDKs may take time to reach consumer devices (consumers need to update their apps) and may temporarily result in an under-reporting of a broadcaster video player figures. Refer to the VPM Guidelines at the [OzTAM website] (www.oztam.com.au)
VPM Rating: total minutes played divided by content length (rounded to the nearest '000); Length (mins): duration in minutes of the program content; Minutes: total number of minutes played across measured devices (rounded to the nearest '000); BVOD Reach: total number of times the video content began to play. Posted date: the day the video content was first made available to play. Top Programs are for episodes with a minimum length of 15 minutes.

Nine had another easy win in the second week of the survey period also winning the key demos and along the east coast while Seven was ahead in Adelaide and Perth.

Seven was second in 25-54 while 10 took out second in 16-39.

Changes from the previous week were small but enough to see ABC and 10 edge up to their highest shares of the year while Seven and SBS were both down slightly to their lowest shares of the year.

Married At First Sight had its best week filling the top four rankings of week eight. ABC’s Vera and Death In Paradise were the next best entertainment offerings while 10 got two top 20 entries.

Outside the top 20 included Gogglebox 21st, Home and Away 25th and Australian Idol Sunday 28th.

Married AFS also topped the key demo tables while 10’s Survivor, Taskmaster and Gogglebox also made the top 10.

MAFS also hit 500k in BVOD viewing filling the top four spots.

Married at First Sight hits the 500,000 mark in BVOD ratings for the first time in the show’s history.

IIRC, the only other show that reached such a milestone was the final season of Game of Thrones.

Please note: The report includes BVOD live minutes only and is not restricted to the five metropolitan cities. When broadcasters upgrade their video players, player measurement SDKs may take time to reach consumer devices (consumers need to update their apps) and may temporarily result in under-reporting a broadcaster’s video player figures.

Top Programs are for episodes with a minimum length of 10 minutes. Refer to the VPM Guidelines at the OzTAM website.
BVOD Audience: Total minutes played (including co-viewing) divided by content length and rounded to the nearest '000. Minutes: Total number of minutes played across measured devices by primary and co-viewers and rounded to the nearest '000. BVOD Reach: The unique count of people who have watched at least 15 seconds of the program.
Start: Start time of the program.
Length: Duration in minutes of the program content.
