Nine had a decisive win this week in the TV ratings battle, thanks largely to the success of Australian Ninja Warrior and the third State of Origin match.
Australian Ninja Warrior: Ratings smash
Despite Seven closing in on a yearly win in the headline measure of metro all-people audience, Nine won the week with an audience share of 25.8%, ahead of Seven’s 18.5%, Ten’s 11.4%, ABC’s 9.8% and SBS’ 5.6%.
All programs in the top five for the week screened on Nine. The most-watched show across the metro markets was the third State of Origin match, which had a metro audience of 2.497m – making it the most-watched show of 2017 so far.
Ninja warrior is just it’s a knockout for millennials. But nice to see all these Insta bodies given another platform they can excel at showing off their hard work in. Also enjoy the forensic analysis of why so and so a competitor fell flat on their face. Show could do with more cackling Fiona Mcdonald and fat Queensland bloke. But that’s probably just me. Also for some reason I remember an old English sheepdog. Or that might have been a dream I once had.
