X marks the ratings spot

Seven's stripping of The X Factor pays off as the network takes out yet another weekly win in Ratings.

In Week 36 of ratings Seven’s stripping of The X Factor has paid off, underpinning its programming for four nights of the week.

With more than a passing nod to Australia’s Got Talent, the show reached a high of 1.69m viewers on Tuesday, enjoying a much stronger start to its season than last year. Packed to the Rafters, Seven News and Today Tonight were its other best performers.

Nine began the week well with Underbelly‘s 1.76m topping the week and helping to secure Sunday. But from there the week dissipated, with dismal performances on Tuesday and Wednesday. Shows such as Top Gear Australia and Same Name were turn-offs for audiences causing Nine to reshuffle its deck yet again.

TEN was unable to score anything above 900,000 with a Modern Family episode its best bet. On Friday its primary channel sank below 10%. While audiences decline to revisit The Renovators the outlook doesn’t appear bright.

ABC’s best was The Gruen Transfer on 1.17m. SBS TWO enjoyed a rise in shares thanks to the IAAF World Championships.

Seven won key demos 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 and all 5 cities.

Seven was again victorious every night of the week except Sunday, which fell to Nine. TEN bettered Nine on Tuesday, but the ABC beat TEN on Friday. Elsewhere, ABC1 beat Nine and TEN’s primary channels on Wednesday.

  1. Have been enjoying The X Factor. 200% improvement on last years. Also, although I don’t mind Kyle, it has been refreshing having a talent show without him on the juding panel.
