NBN feasts on footy finals

14Sep09

The Newcastle TV Ratings, week ending September 12

Note: These ratings results are compiled using the combined resources of SC TEN, NBN & Prime’s weekly AGB Nielsen Media Research reports.

You can easily tell when you look at the ratings this week that it’s getting into footy final season. NBN has extremely high ratings compared to the others, averaging around 35.5%, then SC TEN failing to make a top conversion this week with a 15.6% audience share. Only Primes ‘Packed to the Rafters’ and ABC’s ‘George Gently’ made the Top Ten Most Watched Programs this week, other than that it was completely dominated by NBN.

ABC1 should be happy with yet another strong showing this week, once again putting the boot into Prime and SC TEN to finish second.
