The first night of the 2013 ratings year has gone to Seven.
Nine topped the night with Nine News (1.4m) but then it all went Seven’s way from 6:30pm.
Seven’s network share was 34.0% then Nine 28.9%, TEN 19.2%, ABC 14.4% and SBS 3.5%.
Border Security was best for Seven nudging 1.4m then Sunday Night (1.35m), The Force (1.34m), Downton Abbey (1.33m), Seven News (1.3m) and Castle (438,000 / 237,000).
Following Nine News was One Day Cricket (Sess 2: 1.08m / Sess 1: 879,000). A Mentalist replay was 569,000 in 3 states.
Encouraging to see Masterchef: The Professionals back at 1.03m without the competition from other reality shows. This indicates it still resonates for TEN. Elementary was 944,000 then Modern Family (922,000), TEN News (497,000), Bondi Rescue (469,000), The Graham Norton Show (443,000) and The All New Simpsons (353,000).
ABC News (741,000) was best for ABC1 then Kevin McCloud’s Man Made Home (740,000), Midsomer Murders (723,000), Dream Build (653,000), and Rev (243,000).
History Cold Case (193,000) had a tough night on SBS ONE then Wonders of the Solar System (175,000) and World News Australia (120,000).
ABC2’s Octonauts led multichannels with 220,000.

I notice Parenthood is not on tonight. Is that to make room for Castle as it was stuffed around by Downton Abbey? Parenthood has only been back for 2 weeks and already it’s been dropped. Hope it’s back next week. I wish the networks would put information on their websites…
Back next week with double episode.
I think 7 will lead all year now, especially with AFL kicker
@Karlos: Your correct! I forgot about that, Switch programs in that case, ten has saved the Biggest loser.:)
I have been following TV the past few months and what ive seen is Tens shows are good quality and the only reason i can think of why they are loosing is… They had a bad year last year and everyone hates them sacking Helen and the others. Or The other stations have Great quality programs compared to Ten with Good Qual. programs. Also the only major sports left to bid for in Aus. are Cricket and Ten bid a reported 800M for NRL so I reckon they have won the cricket rights considering Seven, Nine have spent all there money on better shows and AFL & NRL sports. I was also wondering if anyone one knows when The Truth Is… (on Ten) starts, I cant wait for it. Ten for 2013 ratings crown!!
