Seven’s flagship #1 news service is set to get a boost as OzTam correct figures for a three month period between 8 June, 2022 to 9 September 2022.
Seven News Sydney will see a not insignificant rise due to figures being allocated to ‘spill’ where certain areas overlap between metro and regional markets.
The Commonwealth Games and Home and Away will see gains, with one episode in June expected to uplift 27 000 viewers.
All of Seven’s tentpoles are expected to rise including Big Brother, Farmer Wants a Wife and My Kitchen Rules. Sunrise is also set to see an uplift.
Corrected data for 8 June to 2 July has been released to networks and suppliers, with a second release (period 2) expected on 7 November covering the period 3 to 30 July. A final release (period 3) will happen on 21 November for the period if 31 July to 9 September.
