Free to Air TV Ratings Sunday August 19, 2012

Howzat! Kerry Packer delivers ratings success to Nine again with the first part of his Cricket War reaching over 2 million viewers. At the other end of success – and the kiss of death for the show – is Everybody Dance Now – being watched by  385,000 viewers, and not making the top 20. In fact, more people were watching SBS 8.06-8.30pm than they were Ten (based on averages). Nine also had success with Big Brother while Masterchef All Stars just reached over a million to hear Callum announced as the winner after a final challenge that was effectively his second chance to perfect a snow egg.

    glad that big brother’s ratings, views went up from its previous decline in views, hopefully it will stay good now, but up against x factor its highly doubtful…

  • mycreations

    i duno i think x factor might be hurt in the ratings due to the voice earlier in the year
    i hope big brother stays up there in the ratings :)

      I originally thought that but frankly I think that X Factor is going to do better than Big Brother now, simply because the fact of the current backlash that Big Brother is getting. Expect X Factor to do well! (I’m not watching it though – frankly I’ve had ENOUGH of these singing shows – I think that’s the only reason why I’m enjoying BB – cause it’s different!

        I agree. Even if X Factor is a dud this year, I’m expecting the launch to get the edge tonight. You never know though.

    I keep hoping Big Brother will go away completely but no luck…

    Great comeback for Big Brother after the poor ratings on Friday night although the GO ratings are pretty shocking for last night at 6pm. Mind you, it was really a pointless show – they pretty much replayed it all in the 6:30pm show on 9!

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003368455102 Courtney Lewdon

      Poor ratings on Friday? It topped all demos and came fifth for the night with 833,000 viewers. I was expecting less myself. And the GO! show was the top digital broadcast of the night. Just means not many people were watching digital television last night.

        I guess I mean poor considering it was under the million mark ;-)
