Ten takes ratings dip, while Seven stays on top
Seven notched up a convincing win in the ratings race last night led by the same five programmes that took the top five the previous Sunday, while in contrast Ten took a ratings tumble.
The Force was the most watched show with 1.6m viewers, followed by Border Security, Bones, Seven News and Sunday Night, according to preliminary OzTam figures.
The channel attracted a 29.8 per cent share, followed by Nine with 22.8 per cent. Ten had a 17 per cent share, which was down from the 19.1 per cent it recorded the previous Sunday.
Ten also saw ratings for its long-running Australian Idol franchise fall slightly to 0.890m compared to 0.942m in the previous week. Its digital channel One recorded a share of 1.3 per cent, which was also markedly lower than the 2.1 per cent it attracted the previous Sunday.
A week after launch, Seven’s digital channel 7Two saw a slight rise to 2.5 per cent, compared to its opening night share of 1.8 per cent. However, Nine’s rival offering Go remained in the lead with 4.1%.

Sunday’s most watched shows:
- The Force – Seven 1.6m
- Border Security – Seven 1.5m
- Bones – Seven 1.4m
- Seven News – Seven 1.3m
- Sunday Night – Seven 1.2m
- Nine News – Nine 1.1m

- 20 to 1 – Nine 1m
- Movie: My House in Umbria – ABC 0.947m
- Castle – Seven 0.947m
not surprising that 7two is behind Go- the channel has been a serious disappointment so far with movies no one has heard of and no sense of identity- Go for me has a much stronger niche play at this stage.
Don’t fall into the trap of judging station performance from single night ratings!
