2012 Ratings: Seven wins Total People, Nine wins Demos.

Spin-free numbers: Seven wins the ratings year, but Nine has closed the gap.

Let’s put the spin to one side….

Seven has won the year once again, by claiming the most number of viewers in Total People.

It’s pulled this off for the sixth year in a row with a schedule of depth and wins in Sport, International Drama, News and Public Affairs. It also dominated Breakfast and Morning TV.

But the gap between first and second place has closed this year with a resurgent Nine topping Reality TV and attracting the highest numbers in local Drama. Nine also takes away the sweet consolation prize of winning the advertiser friendly demographics, an aggressively sought title.

Despite some early successes, TEN had a tough year -only just registering above the ABC in Total People. It won Daytime TV for the 12th consecutive year but failed to win its preferred demographics.

ABC’s gains were at TEN’s expense with a particularly strong final quarter. SBS rose 1% on its 2011 performance in Total People.

In an Olympic year, numbers are separated from two weeks of the London Games.

  1. How does Ten win daytimes? Ten News At Five obviously contributes much to that result but enough to off-set the 6am-midday thrashing they’ve been getting?

    What hours does Ten define as “daytime”?

  2. Sad state of affairs when there are only two actual programmes on that list!

    I would of thought or should i say hoped that reality programmes would have lost their appeal by now!
