Nine sings with its first summer win

The Nine Network has won its first week of summer ratings, thanks to Carols by Candlelight.

The annual singalong stole the lion’s share of Christmas Eve viewers with 1.53m viewers and a whopping 44% evening share, and helped push Nine above Seven in Week 52.

The ABC also beat TEN for the week.

Nine won Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with Seven taking Adelaide and Perth yet again.

While Carols by Candlelight pulled an audience of 1.53m on Friday night, its Saturday replay saw its average figure tumble to 871,000 (so which bright spark didn’t code them separately?), pushing Seven News to the #1 spot for the week.

Week 52 was the final week of the 2010 Ratings year. 2011 Ratings begin today.
