Numbers late, but Olympics still strong on Thursday.

With Seven on a 48.0% share, that left the top entertainment show outside of primetime.

Thursday ratings may have been delayed by OzTAM but they were no less in stature for Seven with Olympics dominating primetime television.

The Games drummed up 1.28m / 1.15m / 768,000 in metro viewing and a 48% share.

While OzTAM data indicates The Chase drew 1.18m viewers, that’s a preliminary figure given it did not air on the East Coast.

  1. my brother who watches ABC News said the Olympics coverage is appaling. He said they will show the beginning of a race and then the end of it in photo stills. He say he may give up watching the ABC News.

    1. This is why I am mainly streaming on the other channels,avoids all that crap although it can be delayed by up to 45 seconds for events.

    1. The Good Fight is one of those shows though they use as an example where overnight only tells a part of the story. Through catch up, it ratings seems to triple.
      Last week it’s consolidated easily outdated it’s overnight and its online catch seems to do well too.
