Seven and Nine fight for near equal audience share
Seven and Nine shared the largest audiences last night sharing the top nine programs all with audience of over 1m.
Seven News was the strongest performer of the night with 1.259m followed by Nine’s repeat episode of US sitcom The Big Bang Theory which averaged 1.232m after a new episode drew in 1.158m viewers at 7.30pm. Both episodes were the top programs in people 25-54.
Meanwhile Seven’s episode of Highway Patrol averaged 1.o22m and Air Rescue had 866,000 metro viewers according to the preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam.
I understand why ten coded Wake Up’s early section differently as 6.30 to 7.00 is always going to be low but now there’s only a 1,000 between them it indicates just how incredibly poor their ratings are. They could broadcast a clock, some music and rotating traffic and weather reports and get those numbers.
