You can expect the BVOD numbers to give the grand final linear broadcast numbers a sizeable kick.
All the footy Nine could handle gave them a big win with the lowest-rating linear broadcast grand final numbers since OzTAM began. NRL Grand Final – Entertainment (948,000) kicked off the night after a shortened 30 min News broadcast, followed by the NRL Grand Final (1,671,000), and then into the NRL Grand Final – Presentation (1,348,000) and NRL Grand Final – Post-Match (671,000). The night finished suitably with a repeat of Ray Warren: Calling Time (105,000).
Nine first in both primary (40.4%) and network (46.1%) rankings.
Seven didn’t even try. A lacklustre 7News Spotlight (284,000), followed by a repeat of the oft-repeated MOVIE: The Devil Wears Prada (190,000), and then Police: Hour of Duty (58,000).
Seven second in both primary (14.2%) and network (21.2%) rankings.
Spicks and Specks (361,000) down a bit for the ABC as was the penultimate episode of Savage River (296,000). Silent Witness (182,000) led the later night into repeats of The Newsreader (46,000) and Mystify: Michael Hutchence (DNR).
ABC third in both primary (10%) and network (13.3%) rankings.
The Sunday Project (172,000 6:30pm; 249,000 7pm) managed to hold its low course for 10, with The Amazing Race Australia (291,000) doing the same (though the catch-up numbers help a lot). The rest of the evening saw a repeat then new ep of NCIS: Hawaii (123,000; 92,000) – the reversal probably catching most fans out – and then an ep of FBI (56,000).
10 fourth in both primary (6.7%) and network (11.4%) rankings.
SBS had a quiet night, starting with Latest Secrets of the Hieroglyphs (116,000), and followed by repeats of Titanic’s Lost Evidence (108,000) and Jackie Chan: Building an Icon (66,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.3%) and network (8.1%) rankings.
