Happy New Year, and welcome to 2022 (and week 2 of the new ratings year)!
It was a big night for sport, and even then it wasn’t big at all.
The BBL continues to under-perform for Seven, with BBL11: Sydney Thunder v Adelaide Strikers (303,000) pulling up underwhelmingly short. It was enough to win primetime(!) given everyone is still in holiday mode.
Seven first in primary (19.2%) and second in network (27.6%) rankings.
ATP Cup Tennis (241,000) did very small business for Nine, and ran for almost the entire night.
Nine second in primary (16.1%) and first in network (28.8%) rankings.
Doctor Who: The Eve of the Daleks (289,000 (259,000 ABC; 30,000 ABC TV Plus)) draws better than expected numbers for the ABC, simulcast across two channels and available on iview since 7am Sunday morning. Second for the night in the timeslot (tough comparison to the sport ratings, to be fair). The rest of the night rolled out with repeats, including Death In Paradise (270,000), Doc Martin (149,000), and Harrow (67,000).
ABC third in primary (10.6%) and fourth innetwork (15.3%) rankings.
Repeats of Bondi Rescue (124,000; 237,000) kicked off 10’s Sunday, with
The Graham Norton Show (234,000) offering some colour to an otherwise slow night. After that they served up a new ep then two repeats of FBI (122,000; 121,000; 85,000). I’m A Celebrity can’t kick off soon enough.
10 fourth in primary (8.5%) and third in network (17%) rankings.
A new ep of Tombs of Egypt: The Ultimate Mission (174,000) started the night on SBS, then followed by repeats of Walt Disney (158,000) and Michael Palin: Travels of a Lifetime (48,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (6.7%) and network (11.2%) rankings.
