Ratings 2020: the final word
Ratings: Now that 28 days of Consolidated viewing is tallied, here's the definitive list of 2020 winners.

OzTAM has issued the final ratings scoreboard for 2020, now including the 28 Day Consolidated viewing.
This is based on Calendar year Jan 1 – Dec 31 2020, rather than the 40 week OzTAM survey. This allows for some key sporting events and NYE to enter final rankings -the AFL Grand Final still topped the year at 3.016m metro viewers.
What also can’t be ignored is the power of Bluey, dominating Consolidated viewing in both Free to Air and Subscription viewing.

Great to see the T20 games up there on the multichannels. Maybe it is time to consider a channel switch?
The star in my view goes to Bold. Having C&I shows primarily at night was 10s best decision. It shows what smart programming can do.
So the top 8 payTV programs for 2020 were all sport related. And ones where the payTV operator had a monopoly. This is why Cricket Australia broke the law and gave the payTV operator a monopoly on those games which had always been on FTA. Shame.
