State of Origin III dominates Wednesday TV, despite drop from 2022 viewership high
The third and final State of Origin match between NSW and Queensland dominated Wednesday’s free-to-air programming, despite a slight dip from last year’s record viewership.
Queensland’s hope of chasing their first 3-0 series win in over a decade was shattered, but they still lifted the Origin shield last night. The game aired to an average of 1.476 million metro viewers.
