The Newcastle Ratings Week Ending 28 June 09

Prime must be very anxious for the new seasons of Dancing with the Stars and Packed to the Rafters to launch next week after suffering their biggest ratings fall in recent times. NBN romped home as usual on the back of Origin football and News, while Southern Cross Ten continued to enjoy support for Talking About Your Generation, NCIS and Masterchef.

But Prime really sank this week with ABC soundly beating them into 3rd place. Its the lowest weekly ratings for Prime in years and has allowed SC TEN to overtake them in the year-to-date figures.

The second half of the ratings year is going to turn into quiet the battle for second place in Newcastle.
