ABC and TEN up in eye of the storm

It was mixed fortunes for Week 14 as networks juggled repeats and new episodes in the first of two non-ratings weeks.

Seven had 28.7% to Nine’s 25.6% and TEN’s 23.4%. The ABC had 16.5% and SBS 5.8%. The return of Rove was the top show of the week with his biggest ever audience 1.69m.

Seven’s Dancing with the Stars special was its top show with 1.58m and it gave All Saints another big crowd of 1.53m. But a new episode of Heroes saw no lift, stuck on 1.12m. Instead it was beaten by a repeat of House and The Chaser both on 1.24m.

For Nine the only good news was on Sunday with its News 1.5m and the final FINA Swimming, 1.4m. The worst news was the poor debut of I Shouldn’t Be Alive.

Rove helped TEN lift its weekly share, as did The Biggest Loser (Weigh in 1.5m). With just one more episode to go The Con Test has also been rising, now at 930,000.

But it’s the ABC who will be smiling with a second week rise for The Chaser. In it’s new Wednesday timeslot, the show is booming alongside Spicks and Specks.
But without all new shows, it’s a week of unfair comparisons. Ratings resume Sunday April 15.
