The Block continues to boom for Nine with 911,000 metro viewers last night and huge numbers in Total TV traction.

That easily eclipsed MKR (522,000), Spicks & Specks (494,000 from 7:40pm) and from 7:30pm The Masked Singer (451,000 / 568,000 reveal).

Vera reminded us she is still a force to be reckoned with at 597,000, eclipsing 60 Minutes (486,000), 7News Spotlight (320,000).

Nine network won Sunday with 30.1%, then Seven 27.7%, ABC 19.5%, 10 15.9% and SBS 6.7%.

Seven News was #1 at 937,000. for Seven. Homicide with Ron Iddles replayed to 214,000.

The Sunday Project drew 301,000 / 207,000 for 10. 10 News First was 222,000 / 194,000.  NCIS: Hawaii (196,000) and FBI (131,000) followed.

On SBS it was Nazis, Treasures & the Quest for Celts (167,000), SBS World News (146,000 / 128,000), and Revealed: The Hunt For Bin Laden (70,000).

  1. 60 Minutes was horrifying and exactly the type of story a quality program like 60 minutes should be airing. I can’t believe these shoddy doctors can get away with what they are doing to people.

  2. So sevens reliance on the AFL is once again clear from this weeks rating results. Almost won the week even though The Block was so strong (and Nine winning Sun-Thu). Yes sevens news rates well but winning Friday and Saturday by almost 20 points in aggregate means all seven needs is for MKR to do ok (and at 500k overnight and approaching 1mill on 7-day numbers, it seems to be doing well enough given it’s opposition) and the back end of the week will do the rest. With the pointy end of the AFL season now occurring, one would expect seven to secure a couple of weeks coming up. And yes I realize increasingly the analysts tend not to look at weeks won these days but the networks still highlight them. Farmer wants a wife usually rates pretty well but as Nine have the NRL finals coming up, it makes for another close year. As others have stated, hard to see seven letting the AFL rights leave their network.

    1. Definitely. I agree. In fact, this particular day is another good example as I’m pretty sure it would have been won by 7 if the ratings were taken from 3:00pm-midnight, since the Carlton vs Collingwood game was the 5th highest rating program of the entire day (on a Sunday, no less)! 7 would be spewing that game didn’t start at 7:10pm. With a week off of AFL next weekend, it probably could have too!

  3. I was expecting ABC Me’s unscheduled marathon of “Bottersnikes & Gumbles” last night around 2am to make the list –
    quietly burnt off in the wee hours because clearly children wouldn’t watch it during the daytime.

    The 7 Network who features in the end credits also clearly sees no value in it.

    Yet I’ll bet that the show’s Australian producers are among those demanding that children should be watching their shows on streaming!
