Interest in Melbourne’s lockdown changes was a big drawcard on Sunday, pushing Nine News (1.13m) to a rare win over Seven News (1.09m).
A 12:30pm press conference saw a previously-scheduled Landline pushed into the Top 10 at 480,000 (292,000 of them in Melbourne) and Close of Business on ABC News topped multichannels at 272,000 (222,000 in Melbourne). Last night was also the final curfew.
Meanwhile The Block was the top entertainment drawcard at 928,000 rising to 997,000 for the Room Winner.
That defeated All New Monty: Guys & Gals drew 717,000 (rising to 800,000 for the Performance), then The Rise of the Murdoch Dynasty (433,000 from 7:40pm) and Lindy Chamberlain: The True Story (365,000 from 7:30pm).
Later 60 Minutes (520,000) led its slot then Grantchester (440,000) and 7News Spotlight: Surviving the Crash (315,000).
Nine won Sunday with 31.5% then Seven 27.7%, ABC 16.7%, 10 16.3% and SBS 7.9%.
A later Nine News edition drew 234,000.
Inside Belmarsh Prison was just 154,000 on Seven.
ABC News pulled 693,000 for ABC. Doc Martin (277,000) and Australia Remastered (245,000) followed.
The Sunday Project (379,000 / 256,000) was best for 10. 10 News First (241,000 / 173,000) and FBI (251,000 / 161,000) followed.
On SBS it was Ancient Superstructures (206,000), SBS World News (191,000) and Watergate (109,000).
New multichannel 10 Shake was a negligible 0.4% with Lip Sync Battle the highest rated show at just 16,000.

What’s happening to Family Feud
10Shake has kid’s shows during the day and tosh most nights. Viewers didn’t rush to Nine’s new channel either.
In other news about 10: “Tonight’s programming prize goes to the person whose primetime schedule was 6 consecutive repeat eps of Big Bang followed by a repeat of Gogglebox followed by 4 consecutive repeat eps of Friends. The Sales Dept have a special surprise for you out in the carpark.”
ch9 dominate news on East Coast, been that way for a long time.
Overall numbers for ch7 inflated by Adl & Perth
Not “inflated” by Adelaide and Perth which suggests the numbers are not legit. “Dominate”, as you have noted for Nine is more appropriate.
Hello David,can I have the figures please for the women’s T20 match yesterday on 7 ,I know foxtel was 53K , thank you.
“pushing Nine News (1.13m) to a rare win over Seven News (1.09m).”
… because 7 did not have AFL as a lead in for Melbourne
I’ve been waiting for ten shake
But I’ve had to go n visit my Mum n she has win , not ten . So stupid it’s left out
Not “stupid”. WIN has Sky News FTA on the channel they would probably use.
Doesn’t really mesh well with the ten brand . Whole different audience ✌️
What audience ? Looking at their low numbers some days not to to many are watching
Rating system is not accurate. Not so black n white . If it’s soo bad .. shut it down then
It’s not really Sky News though, more of a cut down version, rarely watch
Thought the dingo documentary would rate higher . Thou I didn’t even see this website promoting it or reviewing it .
It was a tad boring thou
Ouuch. That’s got to hurt. 10 should have just filled the gaps in their existing channels instead (especially Peach).
Hold your horses…it’s only day one….
I’ve looked thought the EPG for the first week of 10 Shake, and there was not one program that caught my interest.
we’ve been gipped.
