Footy is back, and this time…it’s laden with ads about how it should be free to stream (because the broadcast network didn’t want to pay for it in the first place which created this entire mess).
*** NOTE: NEW METRICS AND REPORTS ***
- Total TV Overnight Top 30 and Consolidated 7 Top 30 National Total TV reach is calculated using cumulative unique audiences watching 1 min of broadcast TV and 15 sec of BVOD.
- Total TV National audience is calculated using the audience average for the program as time-coded by the Network across 5CM and all regional markets nationally watching on broadcast TV and BVOD.
- BVOD national audience is calculated using the total number of minutes watched (including co-viewing) divided by the length of the program.
PRIMETIME ANALYSIS
With the AFL and NRL back, the back half of the week instantly transforms:
Seven’s AFL: Thursday Night Football (Sydney Swans v Melbourne Demons) (702,000 avg) on Seven
Thursday Night NRL Live (Newcastle Knights v Canberra Raiders) (505,000 avg) on Nine
The Dog House Australia (405,000 avg) (lw 462k) on Channel 10.
At 7pm it’s more of the same:
A Current Affair (703,000 avg) on Nine
Home and Away (437,000 avg) on Seven
The Project (262,000 avg) (6:30pm-7:30pm) on 10.
The ABC sees a smaller audience because of the return to “winter normality” on the commercial networks, so 7:30 (603,000 avg) (lw 651k), Foreign Correspondent (466,000 avg) (lw 527k), and Grand Designs New Zealand (341,000 avg) were all down. Gogglebox Australia (512,000 avg) (lw 578k) on 10 suffers similarly, though still draws a reasonable crowd.
