Daryl Somers and Ossie Ostrich

Last night the ‘Hey Hey’ Reunion rated beyond expectations. The first off special rated 2.169 million viewers while ‘MasterChef’ rated 1.357 million, ‘City Homicide’ 0.796 million, ‘Worlds Strictest Parents’ 0.912 million and the new ‘NCIS: LA’ .943 million.

Smashing its opposition on such a strong night is evident but these demographics are even more surprising for 9 throughout the night:

18-49 Commercial Share 6pm – 10.30pm

Seven – 21.2%
Nine – 50.9%
Ten – 28.0%

16-39 Commercial Share 6pm – 10.30pm

Seven – 20.5%
Nine – 48.5%
Ten – 31.0%

25-54 Commercial Share 6pm – 10.30pm

Seven – 21.5%
Nine – 51.6%
Ten – 26.9%

50+ Commercial Share 6pm – 10.30pm

Seven – 32.8%
Nine – 48.7%
Ten – 18.5%

Those numbers indicate that the show can perform extremely well demographically. Evenly rating highly in the important demo 18-49.

Daryl looks like you may have some further negotiating to do if the next special can rate just as highly.
