Nine’s Academy Awards broadcast burgeons but 7Flix sees dramatic audience drop
Nine’s broadcast of the 88th Annual Academy Awards yesterday saw 398,000 tune in from 12:30pm, with 243,000 watching the rebroadcast at 9:55pm.
Figures were up on last year’s Oscars figures which saw 361,000 tune in for the live broadcast, according to OzTAM overnight ratings.
Meanwhile Seven’s new multichannel 7Flix saw its audience share plummet on its second day of broadcast, dropping from a 2.3% share on launch on Sunday to just 0.7% share last night, bettering only NITV and ABC3.

Oh dear…..the rot is really setting in at Nine!
I’d like to see 7Flix put movies/content that appeals to men also.
I LOVE CHANNEL NINE!
CANT WAIT FOR HABIBS TONIGHT
Seven whines continuously about the licence fee and then puts out new channels in a format (are old programs in grainy simulated HD really that necessary ?) that half the population can’t receive.
Bizarre.
Why are we getting constant repeats of old shows on all the digital channels unless they are cooking shows.
Honestly do the managers of all the stations think we all have alzheimer’s disease.
Its about time that the Minister of Communication stopped this trend of showing 30 year old programmes in prime time when there are 1000’s of programmes from around the world that can be picked up .
3 of the the bottom 4 stations are SBS (NITV, SBS Food, SBS2). What a waste of taxpayers money and resources. The sooner SBS is completely privatised the better.
