Blokes rule as Seven wins Week 40

Blokes dominate Week 40 of ratings as the AFL rematch nudges 2.68m and 7mate beats GEM in their first week on the air.

Almost 2.68m viewers watched Collingwood thrash St. Kilda yesterday in the AFL Grand Final rematch, less than the audience who watched the draw. But without an NRL game on Saturday, this time the network had a big win for the night and it has taken out Week 40 in ratings.

The more interesting story is the result for 7mate and GEM in their first week on the air.

7mate took a 2.2% share ahead of GEM’s 1.4%, making it the third most viewed digital channel behind GO! and 7TWO. It bodes well for the blokey Seven channel with a new episode of Family Guy (163,000) as its top offering of the week. GEM’s best was a Monday night movie The Fugitive (113,000).

  1. But the advertisers already get this information in the daily figures (same place I got the individual figures for Gruen and F1). They don’t need it in the “top 100 shows” as well. For this to be literally the top 100 shows, it’s needs to combine the different time-slots together for the same show. As it is, it’s really a top 100 time-slots, not top100 shows (comes from a paradigm that pre-dates multi-channels). That’s all I’m saying.

  2. @Donald – I understand where you’re coming from but the lists are not made so that fans can see how their favourite show is doing. They’re to assist advertisers in determining where and when to buy advertising time. This is obviously moot for the Gruen Transfer, but combining the figures from both One and Ten for the F1 would conceal which might be the better option for running an ad.

    The reasoning is similar to why I think they should not be combining channel ratings into overall network shares.

  3. Hi David. 🙂 I know you don’t create the list, which is why it was more of a comment than a request. Just expressing a longing that they would create the list like that, as the paradigm has shifted in the last few years, and things like Gruen and F1 are getting short-changed on their deserved place in the list due to the audience being split over more than 1 channel (Ten-One, ABC1-ABC2) and not getting combined. 241,000 for the “repeat” of Gruen on ABC2 is a very impressive figure! Shame it wasn’t added to the 1.4M of the ABC1 showing. Thanks again for the feedback you provide to us all here. 🙂
