NBN continued its dominant ratings hold over the Newcastle TV viewing audience last week with a 36.4 share, 14 points ahead of nearest rival Prime. Eight of the Top 10 programs for the week were on NBN, with ABC’s The Gruen Transfer being the best non-NBN product followed by Prime’s Australia’s Got Talent.

NBN would be particularly happy with the performance of their new Domestic Blitz program which had the biggest audience of the week with 128,000 viewers.
