  1. That’s one of the worst performances for Seven I can recall in a long time (like their Mauren Plavsic early 2000s era which Angus Ross was quoted recently with a similar share), that audience in Sydney and Melbourne from 8:30pm ouch! Under 15% main channel and nearly beaten by 10’s. Even Nine managed the same on AFL GF night I think.
    Nine are going to have some margin this week, not just NRL GF, but multiple nights of 30% and 10% clear.

  2. Disappointing to see the women’s cricket do quite poorly (yes it was a washout in the end but still) I guess Seven won’t be doing that anymore even though women’s sport should have more airtime on FTA. Can’t say they didn’t try though. I honestly love the women’s game.

  3. David, re the total uplifts, since the site’s new look (which looks fantastic btw) went live, I’ve never been clear how/where to see the 7-28 day consolidated numbers. I think you explained it when you launched the new look, but I’ve never been able to work it out. I’m probably just missing something a bit obvious. Can you clarify pls?

    1. Yes sure thing. A separate Timeshifted section is no more. Now you just go to the date you are looking for under Ratings section itself and look in the Total TV table (you can click on each to make it larger). Of course remember there is always a 7 day wait, so the last updated is Sept 30. Glad you like the new look!

  4. Brave of Channel 7 to put the women’s cricket on their main channel on Thursday prime time. It was never going to rate much more than a railway show on SBS.
    I notice that women’s cricket will be on 7Mate on the weekend, however.
    It’s a scandal that men’s limited over internationals are only on pay-TV now, despite sport anti-syphoning laws.

    1. I was surprised too but seven probably knew it was going to rate low; having already lost the week to nine due to the NRL GF Sunday, they probably thought – well putting it on won’t change much for us this week.

      Gives the womens game an opportunity to be shown on FTA for a broader reach.

    2. If they had put the cricket on 7mate, then Seven would have only shown a movie that has already been shown many times before. Given that it the match was abandoned before an innings was completed, 178k probably isn’t a bad result. I tuned out once the rain came, and kept an eye on cricinfo in case it resumed.

    3. Here in regional QLD it was on 7mate ,they had a movie on 7 ,I think Last Cab to Darwin.
      The WBBL starts soon so that’ll be on mate up here and maybe 7 if it’s a slow weekend.
      I personally cannot see 7 renewing the cricket contract when it expires.
