Audiences down across the board as cricket season opening helped Nine to win night
The Chaser’s Media Circus on the ABC at 8.30pm saw its audience continue to slide last night, with the show watched by 638,000 down from last week’s audience of 707,000, as the opening of the international cricket season eased Nine to a win for the night.

It was more positive for Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell, at 8pm, which boosted its audience from 699,000 last week to 731,000, helping the ABC to an audience share of 12.4 per cent preliminary overnight OzTam numbers show. New show Black Comedy, airing at 9.30pm, was watched by 347,000.
It was a night where audiences were down across the board, with Seven News and Nine News at 6pm the only shows to crack the 1m viewer mark.

Hi Check your numbers,
We base the reports on audience share as is reported at the bottom of the article, rather than accumulated audience.
