Nine wins the half point mark taking al 3 demos and beating Seven in their own measure of success: 25-54.
But, they’ve dropped the ball after the Voice. Will Olympics and Big Brother be enough to keep them #1 till years end?
It’s gonna be close!
Its a shame Nine didnt support Tricky Business
Just wondering if you can tell me what the weekly wins tally is so far this year? Cheers.
No because of Timeshifted, even I’m not sure…
As an advertiser, I prefer to advertise on a station that has the best Total People figs. thanks.
I think 9 has 16-39 in the bag for the year, 7 has total people in the bag. 18-49 and 25-54, 7 can still catch up if their stars align. they are not as far behind as i thought.
Last year while the block was huge every night for 9, 7 won every single week, and most of then in demos too. i think that is what we will see for the rest of the year with Big Brother. BB will be huge but 9 dont have anything for 8:00 onwards planned giving 7 the opportunity to come out on top.
i find it odd that ten, the network that bangs on about the importance of demos the most, is coming a distant 3rd by all measures, long gone are the days where ten would always win 16-39 and be competitive in 18-49.
Hey David, out of curiosity, what were the Total People figures like this time last year?
