In order to appreciate last night’s ratings results, you have to take into context the coding of shows, that allows for short program portions to float to the top of the heap.

Broadly speaking, a long programme can see its show average trend downwards because not every viewer makes it to the end. Or sometimes with season finales, viewers may even just switch on at the end just to see the outcome.

Given this, here’s how last night stacked up…

Lego Masters finale drew 576,000 metro viewers rising to 598,000 for the moment Scott & Owen were announced as winners.

MasterChef Australia -which stuck with a single number for its second outing- was 557,000.

Seven’s broadcast of the Coronation Concert averaged 535,000 rising to 584,000 for its finale segment, double a late change by Nine to replay the event at 9pm (250,000).

7:30 was 459,000 then Australian Story (405,000).

Elsewhere were Media Watch (415,000) and Four Corners (372,000).

Seven network won Monday with 29.6% then Nine 28.5%, 10 17.55, ABC 17.0% and SBS 7.5%.

Seven News was #1 at 1.04m / 996,000 with The Chase very strong at 597,000 / 362,000. Home & Away drew 503,000. 911 was 197,000.

Nine News (839,000 / 818,000) was best for Nine. A Current Affair was 671,000. Hot Seat was 388,000 / 235,000. A midday broadcast of the Coronation Concert drew 155,000.

The Project drew 337,000 / 207,000 for 10. 10 News First was 267,000 / 177,000. Ghosts (154,000) and FBI: Most Wanted (93,000) were next.

ABC News was 615,000. Q+A (201,000) and The Drum (163,000) followed.

On SBS it was SBS World News (131,000 / 144,000), Rise Of The Nazis: The Downfall (94,000), Secrets Of The Tower Of London (88,000), Mastermind (86,000) and Race For The Sky (80,000).

Hey Duggee on ABC Kids led multichannels at 116,000.

Sunrise: 209,000
Today: 198,000
News Breakfast: 92,000 / 47,000

In Total TV numbers last Monday were:

911: Lone Star: 329,000

  1. Nine should be happy enough with that figure for the Coronation Concert – they’ll see it as taking a potential 400,000 viewers away from Seven.

    That midday figure of 155,000 is interesting – just wondering what sort of figures the encores of the big franchises across the networks tend to get in the afternoons.

  2. A very oddly titled doco series on SBS-‘Rise of the Nazis{ The Downfall’, apparently ripping off the noted German film ‘Downfall’, much seen on the SBS network over the years.

  3. It was the Coronation Concert the winner in our house and the best bits where William’s speech, KC and QC rocking and busting a few moves but the highlight was Miss Piggy and Kermit crashing the party trying to find the royal box and calling KC Charlesy Walesy only Miss Piggy could get away with that….On the down side it was Seven News that left us feeling depressed because there were 5 stories of youth crime throughout the hour showing various footage of their escapades. We get it and understand the crisis and as much as possible is being done to solve it, but to be putting so much footage on the news I think is just giving these kids more incentive to do what they are doing because they know they will probably end up on tv.

      1. Yes I could say you’d guess I’m not happy, the reason is because it’s main focus in Brisbane is youth crime every night and they can’t seem to give the viewers a break it appears an agenda that the Brisbane channel are determined to hold the government to account. They even try to “pin the Premier down” to get her to do something about it and then the police. I watch Seven because I think Max Futcher, Sharon Ghidella and Tony Auden are a great team of presenters. I would just like some happy news even useless information stories would be appealing for a change. I do watch ABC at midday though and on the app. David I’d call it frustration and I’m not bothered if it rates….sorry…and you do a good job too informing us in tv land.

        1. You should watch breakfast TV or morning shows instead – they are generally more positive, fluffier stuff.

          6pm news is pretty depressing worldwide.

    2. And yet if youth crime wasn’t being covered, people would complain that the media doesn’t care. Also, kids are rarely identified in crime reports, so there isnt much incentive. They get more exposure in Tik Tok.

      1. That’s a given but it doesn’t take the media to show people care about crime, there are other sources too (granted most people watch the news) When you have a bunch of people being filmed going around to houses trying to “intimidate” these kids committing crimes, as one such person admitted “he just wanted his stuff back and the rest followed” also Karl Stefanovic on Today interviewing victims and relatives it doesn’t take much to track some of these kids down via social media so they are obviously identified and even the police commissioner has warned about using social media……have you suffered at the hands of these kids and the destruction they cause because I have and I’m sick of the oxygen the news gives them…let the grown ups deal with it without the footage on socials including tik tok of these kids. It’s just giving kids more ideas.
