A late change to Sunday night scheduling means today’s ratings need a little explanation.

The Block was #1 at 1.08m viewers, more than double Restoration Australia (467,000), Celebrity MasterChef (421,000) and 7NEWS Spotlight (355,000).

Later 60 Minutes was 319,000 adjusted then Fires was 304,000 then Border Security (272,000) and CSI: Vegas (203,000).

Bert helped Nine to a huge 41.9% share then Seven 21.6%, 10 15.9%, ABC 14.8% and SBS 5.9%.

  1. watched 60 Mins last night to watch Daniel Craig Interview I and sick and tired of Karl making all the interview about him and not the celebrity He does this all the time with them and it is so annoying bugger off Karl

  3. Big numbers for Bert Newton tribute given that there was a late change to schedule yesterday morning. Nine should be happy with these numbers. I was wondering if this is available on 9Now for catchup? David, with the consolidation of ratings, will this rebrand as Bert Newton: Let Us Entertain You?
    2ndly, with Melbourne Cup coming on Tuesday, I wonder what Channel 10’s ratings will be like at that time, given that crowds are allowed in the Flemington.
