Seven News was #1 with wins in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Seven News at 6:30 was #2 with wins in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth. Better Homes and Gardens Summer was #10 with 299 000 viewers. Seven’s Cricket: Big Bash League – Melbourne Stars v Hobart was #13 with 235 000. Seven’s Cricket: Big Bash League – Sydney Thunder v Adelaide Strikers was #15 with 223 000.
Nine News 6:30 was #3 with wins in Melbourne and Brisbane. Nine News was #4 with a win in Melbourne. A Current Affair was #9 with 362 000. That figure was lower than usual because the program was not screened in Brisbane, due to local coverage of Christmas carols. 2022 FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships was on 197 000. This is a fairly low result, however, it should be noted that due to its live coverage, 30 minutes of the coverage was seen on 9Gem in Adelaide and in its entirety on 9Gem in Brisbane and Perth. The 2022 Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols were the #7 most watched program in Brisbane last night with 61 000 viewers, only outrated by news and a repeat of Vera.
The Project 6:30pm was on 126 000, but then rose to 167 000 for The Project 7pm. The Graham Norton Show – Encore had 131 000. A repeat episode of The Graham Norton Show at 8:30pm had just 78 000 viewers.
ABC News was #5 and won its slot. Gardening Australia wrapped up its season for 2022 with a Christmas special at #6 with 400 000 viewers and winning its slot. A repeat of Vera was #7 with 384 000.

Second: 7mate (3.7%)
9Gem’s Bond movie marathon continued with The Living Daylights giving 9Gem a huge win. A combination of FINA World Short Course Championships in some markets and Fawlty Towers, also assisted in the unbeatable share. 7two did well with Bargain Hunt and then Better Homes and Gardens Summer (some markets only) giving the channel a third placed 3.6%. 7mate’s share was helped by Big Bash League coverage airing whilst Seven News was on air on the main channel. The channel then had Rambo: First Blood Part II with 55 000 viewers.
