How many of those were Seven News 6pm, Seven News 6.30pm, Nine News 6pm or Nine News 6.30pm? Easy to fill a ratings list when a 1 hr news service gets two ratings slots.
Those bulletins would take up 4 spots in the top 40 rankings. The weekly average is….the weekly average.
2 figure for weekday, 2 for Saturday and 2 for Sunday
It’s interesting how people have been watching local lately, I remember stories here on how Aust drama has done well too. This also puts in perspective one of the reasons that ABC is seeking to lift local content (as reported here last week) and dare I say why TEN said they’re making Offspring.
“The top 41 shows were all Australian productions.”
That’s a throw-away line. I’m sure you’re aware that the reasons behind this are many and varied and are highly dependent on what is being offered and when.
It’s still worth reiterating every once in a while. Have no problem with the odd snapshot.
