Dead heat for networks as Nine’s Twenty/20 cricket closes in on Seven’s biggest night yet for My Kitchen Rules
The free to air networks entered a dead heat last night as Seven and Nine each held 26.3 per cent of the audience share while Ten and ABC1 each had 9.9 per cent according to OzTam.
Seven’s My Kitchen Rules won its largest audience yet this season with an average 1.685m metro viewers eclipsing its launch to 1.671m and marking the third night in a row of over 1.6m viewers for the show.
Meanwhile Nine’s Twenty/20 Australia v England cricket match won the network 1.172m viewers, ranking fifth for the night in all programs.
My Kitchen Rules was the top program in people 25-54, and the cricket was second in the category, Nine’s stated target demographic.Ten’s two repeat episodes of Modern Family averaged 415,000 and 429,000 for the network from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, falling fourth in the timeslot after ABC1’s 7.30 program and repeat of Stephen Fry’s quiz show QI.
And Notting Hill was on……Seven.
“Million Dollar Minute on Seven gained more viewers than Nine’s Hot Seat”
I’m not surprised. The ratings are back on yet Nine is still showing repeats of HS. Two nights ago they showed an episode from 2012 which had already been repeated twice before. During almost all of last year Nine also showed repeats of HS in ratings. Why won’t Nine make and show new episodes of Hot Seat?
Hot Seat was in 4 markets only – MDM will continue to get smashed by it when it’s back in the full markets.
Oh and Aussie-Austridge – wrong. Ratings are back Feb 9.
We are still in silly season.
Oh and Mark – wrong. TV ratings are reported every day of the year.
The networks may chose to run “rating periods” with first run programming – and very few markets, if any, in the world run as many weeks of first-run programming as Australia – but every day of the year has ratings.
John – February 9th is the OFFICIAL start of the ratings year.
We are still in silly season.
Get your facts right.
Have a look at the link – see the first white sheet? FEBRUARY 9.
