Seven doubles morning audience with Australia vs USA Olympics basketball

Seven doubled its morning viewership yesterday morning with its broadcast of Australia’s battle with the USA’s ‘Dream Team’ in the basketball.

The program attracted an average of 652,000 viewers, more than double last week’s pre-Olympics Sunrise audience of 269,000, according to OzTAM metro ratings. This also marked a leap from Wednesday morning’s audience of 420,000.

In what would have been one of the biggest audiences for the network on a weekday morning for many years, the metro audience peaked at around 850,000 just after 9am.
