Viewers swing to ABC

Swinging viewers gave the ABC 3 shows in the week's Top Ten, led by Gruen Nation -but it was Seven that took out another ratings week.

In Week 33 the ABC had 3 shows in the Top Ten: Gruen Nation, Spicks and Specks and Yes We Canberra! Swinging viewers helped give the broadcaster its best share for the survey year so far (includes ABC News 24 share). The result was in contrast to TEN having just one title in the Top 20.

But it was the Seven Network that won the weekly poll, in a close call with Nine.

Network:
Seven: 28.5
Nine: 28.1
TEN: 19.5
ABC: 18.5
SBS: 5.3

Primary channels:
Seven: 24.5

7TWO: 4.0
ABC2: 1.7
ONE: 1.1
SBS2: 0.7
ABC3: 0.6
ABC News 24: 0.5

Nine Network won the three key demos 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

Nine was first on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Seven won Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. The ABC beat TEN on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Nine was also first in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. As usual Seven came home in Adelaide and Perth.

Packed to the Rafters was again #1 for the week.

  1. Great to see Gruen Nation and Spicks & Specks in the top 10, they are superb shows, I am however disappointed to see awful reality TV shows like Farmer watns a wife/RBT/Send in the Dogs rating in the top 20.

  2. @NQ resident, I guess it is because apart from Rafters (which is only one night) it is quite an even spread. Unlike the final weeks of MC where 6/7 nights were sucking a lot of veiews to one show.

  3. @ Secret Squirrel – yes, well aware of koverstreet’s fandom (although I believe he is a City Homicide viewer too, so he can’t be all bad), however I just wanted to point out the irony in his comment. Most network fans will be careful with how they spin for their favourite, as to not leave such a hole in their defenses.

  4. And 4/5 of Sevens top 10 shows are actually made here…

    As are all 3 of the ABC’s in the top ten…

    Yeah I am sure 9 are popping the champagne right now… Hey we came 2nd!! wow!!

  5. @Butters: koverstreet is a well-known Nine fanboi. PttR obviously helps but it isn’t the sole reason Seven won the week. Seven have five programs in the top 10 (1st, 2nd, 6th, 7th, & 9th) while Nine only have two (5th & 8th).

  6. Nine would be happy to be only losing by such a small amount post Underbelly and with PTTR back. And of course winning all the demos as usual. Seven of course would be extremely thankful they have one hit show that pushes them across the line each week.

  7. ten are lucky they had an alright saturday and ABC had a weaker saturday. if the normal saturday figures turned up ten would be in 4th. ten aren’t doing very well even in the demographics they were behind both 7&9 most nights.

    9 held up well with considering 7 seem to have a lot of shows in the top end. After being close all year GO! is really taking for 9 and leaving 7two behind. but still, 2 digital channels averaging over 4% is a good achievement for both. at the end of last year getting half that was considered a good job.
