Analysis
The Cricket on Seven has been a blessing for Nine. With no The Chase Australia on Seven, Nine is taking full advantage of Hot Seat’s lead in to its news. Nine News was #1 overall with wins in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide. Nine News 6:30 was #3 with wins in the same markets. A Current Affair was #6 with 493 000 viewers and #2 in the slot behind ABC News. RBT was #10 for the night with 348 000 viewers. Paramedics was #9 with 348 000 as well, but with rounding out, had a higher result than its lead in. The new series Police After Dark had 197 000 viewers. Nine News Late was watched by 122 000. Emergency Call had 54 000 late night viewers.
Seven News was #2 and without The Chase Australia as a lead in, could only manage a win in the Perth market. Seven News at 6:30 was #4 with a win in Perth again/. The highest session for Seven’s Cricket First Test Australia v West Indies Day 2 was #8 and was #1 non news with 386 000 fans.
The Project 6:30 started with 148 000 viewers but that figure rose to 209 000 for The Project 7pm. The special, Jamie Oliver: Cooking for Less had 158 000 viewers. Law & Order: SVU repeat had 94 000 viewers and then a second repeat at 9:30pm had 92 000 viewers, keeping a consistent viewing pattern across 2 hours.
ABC News was #5 overall but #1 in its slot with 526 000 viewers. 730 was #7 with 461 000. A repeat of You Can’t Ask That was #14 with 273 000 and Q+A was watched by 248 000 and was #15 for the night.
SBS was #12 with the 2022 FIFA World Cup match between Australia and Denmark. The match had 315 000 which is super impressive given the slot (early hours in the morning) and no result from Perth, as the time delay meant that that market’s results were in the day before’s rankings.
