House tops Timeshifted
Top Gear’s premiere episode rose from 1.68m viewers to 1.77m viewers after Consolidated figures were released for Week 7. That meant 86,000 had Timeshifted the show within the next 7 days, boosting its status as the #1 show of the week.
But the biggest rises went to House (up 135,000) and The Good Wife (up 100,000) against One Day Cricket.
NCIS also gained 88,000 -enough to see it move from #5 for the week to #3.
Drama continues to be the big winner in Timeshifting, with extra gains for Grey’s Anatomy (Ep 1, 97,000 …
All the drama of Sunday
There were two locally produced dramas on television last night: one was the highly-publicised Wicked Love telemovie on Nine, the other was the ABC3 family series My Place which had its first run on ABC1 in a prime Sunday night slot.
Wicked Love: The Maria Korp Story did well with an audience of just under 1.3m winning its timeslot and pushing The Good Wife down to 902,000 on TEN. Seven’s Bones was sandwiched with a respectable 1.23m. Reviews had panned the Nine telemovie but viewers still tuned in to see the sordid …
Generation’s Sunday sacrifice
TEN’s decision to move Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation from Tuesdays to Sundays is proving tricky after its second week well behind 2009 averages.
It took 1.09m viewers, third in its spot behind Border Security / Air Ways (1.27m / 1.26m) and Twenty20 Cricket (1.24m) -but it fared better in the key demos winning all groups. TEN did win the night in its target demos 16-39 and 18-49.
Even with demo wins Your Gen is still a long way behind the figures it used to attract on Tuesdays: between 1.5 – 1.7m. Now the …
Good news for Good Wife
The first day of the 2010 ratings season was good news for TEN and Seven.
The Seven Network won the night with a 30.5% share ahead of its rivals, but News bulletins notwithstanding it was the premiere of The Good Wife that took the biggest audience.
The Julianna Margulies drama took a cool 1.4m viewers for TEN, one of its best audiences in some time. In its new night Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation also performed with 1.32m viewers. Both TEN shows won all key demos.
Seven also scored with Air Ways (1.32m), Bones (1.21m) …

Timeshifted ratings: What we’re watching later on
Supernatural, Private Practice, Survivor, Stargate: Universe, Californication, Bones, Cold Case, Fringe and Top Gear are the top shows we are recording and watching later, according to early figures released by OzTAM.
Since December 27 OzTAM has begun adding Timeshifted, or Consolidated, figures to its Ratings in a major change to its survey data. It tallies the programmes that are watched up to 7 days after their live airing, now known as the “Overnight” figure. Homes with OzTAM People Meters are now recognising what is watched on recording equipment including PVRs, DVRs and …
Wipeout wipes out Fifth Grader
The first shots are fired in Summer Non-Ratings, and they have produced some interesting results indeed…
Whilst OzTAM has again merged digital channels with primary channels (at the very time some are debating the merits of this), Seven Network comfortably won the night.
There were wins with factual shows, news, repeats of Bones, while Nine scored with 20 to 1 repeats, news and TEN’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival special did better business than a first run of Glee. Why?

Birth for a nation
The final week of the ratings year is over and it was a Rafters baby that defeated singing Idols, Celebrity Masterchefs, new Apprentices, Geeks and Robbie Williams. Seven enjoyed a clean sweep of Week 48, winning all 7 nights, 3 key demos and all 5 cities -it was almost a microcosm of 2009, but this year Nine has seen to it that it didn’t quite enjoy that triumph.
The Seven Network won Week 48 with 31.3% over Nine’s 26.8% and TEN’s 21.3%. The ABC had 15.2% and SBS 5.4%.
GO! had 3.1% over …
Say bye to variety for me
The Noughties will end with a nail in the coffin of variety after Rove McManus announced he was winding down his show last Sunday. It closed a ten year chapter for the genre with a string of Logies, A-List guests and live memories to take home. Without any advance warning it also didn’t pull the kind of figures such a farewell deserved. Both the night and the week went Seven’s way for the second last week of the ratings season.
The Seven Network won Week 47 with a big 30.0% ahead of …
