Welcome to the final week of the 2020 ratings year.
Well, it used to be until all the networks promised they programmed for 48-50 weeks of the year, but…how can you tell?!
SAS Australia (728,000) pulls better numbers than it has for a couple of weeks for the penultimate episode, though that love didn’t carry through for a double episode of The Rookie (346,000; 270,000). Home and Away (611,000) still second at 7pm in its final week for the year. Seven comes first in both primary (19.9%) and network (27.8%) shares.
Nine trying to ride the crest of a big Block finale last night means Monday isn’t much. A double ep of Gold Coast Cops (420,000; 355,000), chased by Bond film Spectre (281,000) does OK but nothing interesting. Only their News product and A Current Affair (682,000) at 7pm keep them in the game. Nine comes second in both primary (17.9%) and network (25.6%) shares.
Again, the Monday night line-up on the ABC delivers consistent eyeballs. 7:30 (700,000), Australian Story (646,000), Four Corners temporary replacement In The Face Of Terror (334,000), Media Watch (379,000), and Q&A (238,000) all have their fans who tune in religiously to keep the night dependable. ABC slides into third in primary (13.4%) share and fourth in network (18.1%) share.
10 doing the long-suffering Have You Been Paying Attention? (661,000) no favours as it offered a strong season finale with too few people watching it. It’s up on the last couple of weeks, though has seen a decline in 2020. The Project (278,000 6:30pm; 474,000 7pm) continues to be wildly up and down, and as a 7:30pm offering a double repeat of Bondi Rescue (283,000; 233,000) isn’t gonna do much. After HYBPA, another new episode of Just For Laughs Australia (374,000) feels very unappreciated. 10 comes fourth in primary (12.9%) share though third in network (20.3%) share.
Heeler-watch™: Bluey (183,000 am; 187,000 pm) continues to be the biggest thing on the multi-channels, eclipsing most things on commercial FTA TV. Ready to take over the world.
Sunrise (284,000) starts another week with a big win over The Today Show (216,000) and ABC Breakfast (203,000 [136,000 ABC; 67,000 ABC News]).
