    1. These ratings don’t reflect all Australia, only 5 city metros are in these ratings. Add up all the cities and the population counted for these ratings is approximately 15-16 million people. And remember people watch in families and groups so not everyone will be counted as 1 viewer.

  1. It will be interesting to see the ratings for Operation Buffalo next week. I would expect a significant drop off, as the first ep was cringeworthy imo. So disappointing for an ABC commissioned drama.

  2. I imagine Nine News’s figure will be adjusted. The first 10 minutes in Sydney and Brisbane will be the over run of the NRL game that preceeded it.
