The power of multichannels showed their force on Sunday night with GO! hitting a share of 8.7% -more than both SBS channels combined.
Without Underbelly, viewers appeared to be looking around for alternative viewing. The Big Bang Theory stumped up with 423,000 viewers while GO’s premiere movie 2012 was 409,000.
The top show for Sunday was Sunday Night (1.3m) viewers with Seven’s next best being Seven News (1.18m), Wild Boys (896,000), and winning their slots were Bones (701,000) and Castle (572,000).
Nine only led at 7:30pm with 60 Minutes (1.26m) followed by Frozen Planet (1.00m), Nine News (998,000), CSI (682,000) and Person of Interest (469,000).
Junior MasterChef‘s last stand at Disneyland lifted slightly to 856,000 for TEN with Merlin (751,000), Terra Nova (692,000) and Ringer (294,000). TEN News was 574,000 and coverage of the Australian Open Golf was 491,000.
On ABC1 it was ABC News (770,000), Restoration Home (754,000) and The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (518,000).
The Bible: A History (276,000) was tops for SBS ONE with Mother of Rock: Lillian Roxon on 182,000 and JFK: 3 Shots That Changed America on 160,000.
Thanks to strong numbers on GO!, Nine Network won with 30.6% over Seven 28.2%, TEN 21.8%, ABC 14.3% and SBS 5.1%.

TV has been bone crushingly boring all weekend! Not everyone is out living it up you know tv stations.
Plus there was no Quantum Leap yesterday 🙁
I wish they used GEM to air a movie of this calibre. Doesn’t GEM stand for General Entertainment and *Movies*?
@paulie
You watched it wrong.
@David
Yes I know you’ve been writing the reports for an eon by now but I don’t remember them being as frequent prior to Oztam change to ratings reporting..
@ NJK…yeah it felt like it, even more so in the final ‘hour’….I always use the add breaks to do stuff…get a drink etc..the final hour of this film was just mental…
@ Kenny….I don’t blame you for dumping the tv ads, they really are a waste of time & money
2012 would have to be the worst movie i have Ever seen.
@ Jezza – looking at 2012’s actual running time, it looks like you’d have been subjected to almost 50 minutes of ads for a single movie last night. Guess that’s what PVRs were invented for huh?
I agree with @Amir shame about The Ringer figure’s as it is a great show which at the moment for me keeps you guessing.
Did everyone go to bed at 9.30pm??
Ringer is doing awfully, but it is such a great show! I hope TEN leave it on during summer.
@Jezza (the first original one) – Dead right. Local Wollongong stations WIN, Prime, SCTEN, know why we stopped advertising on TV. Far too many commercials. Ads lost amongst the clutter. Audience being canabalised by 15 channels compared to the original 5. Quality of ads appaling. Hit the “mute” button now whenever a screaming Harvey Norman, Joyce Mayne, Good Guys, etc., etc. start.
Lesbian movies are usually SBS fore tay but last nights one on ABC was good stuff!
With 2012 on 409,000 and CSI on only 682,000 it is very likely 2012 would have rated higher than CSI if it was screened on the main channel…
2012 started at 8.30pm which was great and in the first hour or so there were not too many adverts. However the final 30 minutes of the film seemed to last for 90 as it was rammed with adverts every 10 seconds. Complete nightmare, got p*ssed off and went to bed, I will not bother next week….Note to advertisers, I was so tired by the end, that I cannot remember who was advertising what, so your money was well wasted….
BBT, even in repeats, has saved Nine from disaster this year. Next Sunday’s GO! looks good too.
I like those Ronald Emmerich disaster movies. Sad i know.
Holy Crap.
That is all.
Last time GO! did nearly this good was when they screened the first Transformers movie
Even if 7 screened a test pattern between 7 and 10 each night they’d still win the week…
Hope these style posts continue as I have gotten used to them and like the layout of the corresponding programming across primetime.
Thanks David..
Steve: Gotten used to them? I’ve been writing ratings reports for nearly 5 years….
