Rafters rule the ratings roost

Over 2m viewers for Rafters helps Seven take out the ratings week, meanwhile ABC News 24 has its first full week of audience figures.

The first week of data for ABC News 24 indicates the total viewing audience is three times smaller than that of ABC2, and eight times smaller than GO! While access to the channel is more limited due to it being an HD only channel, we are also in the middle of an election campaign when interest in the channel should be high. But it is early days….

In Week 32 it was the Seven Network that won the ratings week, buoyed by over 2 million viewers for Packed to the Rafters, the #1 show of the week.

  1. Any network that broadcasts Bones and Castle repeats at 8:30 Sunday does not deserve to win the week. I don’t understand how this is allowed to happen at the executive level. Must try harder to find first run programming for primetime Sunday night!

  2. I remember David Mott saying when the 7pm Project was struggling to get 600K viewers a night that his aim was for the program to rate around 850K a night. If he still stands by that statement, then he should be happy with where the 7pm Project is atm. It is achieving that and more most of the week without Masterchef around and a fairly poor lead-in from Neighbours.

  3. I cannot agree with Ducko on relevance of 7pm outside Melb – I find it relevant – and I am outside Melbourne. I feel they take great care in treating news and issues on a national scale – the whip is a good example, and their live crosses to major cities supports that. It has slipped a little, post MC, but still in the 900,000’s on a couple of nights in the week is pretty impressive.
