Seven sings up another weekly win

By the end of Friday night, Seven was leading on just 0.1% over Nine -but then along came Carols in the Domain.

It was another case of close but no cigar for Nine in last week’s ratings.

By the end of Friday night, Seven was leading on just 0.1% over its old foe. But Seven’s Saturdays are often strong thanks to 7TWO’s appeal with older viewers, and it was bolstered by the annual Carols in the Domain. It topped the night with 975,000 viewers.

Seven Network won the week with 29.3% over Nine 26.9%, TEN 19.4%, ABC 18.1%, SBS 6.3%.

Seven won the Primary Channels with 20.1% over Nine 17.9%, ABC1 13.4%, TEN 13.1%, SBS ONE 5.3%.

7TWO led Multichannels on 5.3% over GO! 5.2%, ELEVEN 4.1%, 7mate 3.9%, GEM 3.8%, ABC2 2.6%, ONE 2.2%, ABC News 24 1.1%, ABC3 and SBS TWO both on 1.0%.

Nine was again well ahead in key demos 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

Just four titles passed the one million viewers: Seven News (Sunday) on 1.17m, Nine News (Sunday) on 1.14m, Seven News (weeknights) on 1.05m and The Big Bang Theory on 1.04m.

Seven won all cities except Melbourne, which fell to Nine.

But Nine won more nights with Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, with Seven first on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. ABC bettered TEN on Saturday.

  1. I was in the crowd and the atmosphere was shit!! you could hardly hear the hosts in their tent (never even getting on stage from what i could see) and in the commercial breaks (which there were soooooooo many) there was nothing happening… no warm up guy just stupid NSW government commercials that could hardly be heard as well… I know it is a TV event but they need to work on that stuff for the audience

  2. I watched “carols” in Sydney and I also found the first hour really boring. But the rest of it was good. Someone needs to tell whoever sequences the acts that a wider range of musical styles and more variation from act to act is needed.

    And the Wiggles were sorely missed. Their replacements really sucked.

    Ask yourselves. Unless a radio program speciallises in one style of music (ie Triple J’s 10PM programs Monday-Friday) then a wide diversity of music styles and tempo speed changes is usually played.

  3. I watched SBS the most and Seven the least this week. Not as much on and it has given me a great chance to catch Go Back to Where You Came From as I missed it first time around. Seven has absolutely nothing that appeals to me and will just get worse in 2012 and beyond. Nine and Ten do have some new stuff including Merlin, It’s a Knockout, Mike and Molly and CSI:NY. The ABC still delivers with the most trusted news service at 7pm and My Family and Graham Norton.

    Nine should win this week. They should do well Sun-Tue, Thu, maybe Wed and Fri but will smash the competition on Saturday. Carols will beat Hannah Montana Movie.
