  1. To make comparisons fair, since 2012 (when Seven got Saturday AFL back from 10) I could swear that for a number of years Nine were able to remain competitive with Seven on Saturday nights, helped by their programming not being different in markets. Some nights would be low like 12% main channel, but others would be very close if say Channel 7 didn’t do as well and were under 20%.

    But I guess that was when movies were still doing 300-600k metro at least at 7pm (and 2012 still had Funniest Home Videos earlier). Also, 9Go! used to be huge on Saturdays, regularly doing 6-7% shares (also movies).

    But yeah in recent years, especially the last few, Nine have particularly struggled on Saturdays (apart from that Attenborough series a year or two back). At least they’re not at 10 levels.
