Newcastle TV Ratings w/e 22 August

24Aug09

Newcastle Ratings, week ending August 22

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

Overall audience figures were down a bit last week with the lack of any big season finales or breakaway hit shows. SC TEN has drifted back to the pack since the end of Masterchef, but Prime has failed to capitalise on this, finishing behind SC TEN again.

Whilst Seven has already wrapped up ratings victory for 2009, Prime is locked in a ding-dong battle with SC TEN for second place in Newcastle. NBN is unassailable in overall ratings already.
