Newcastle TV Ratings Week 30

30Jul07

The Newcastle ratings look a little different this week without the usual NBN cleansweep of the Top 10 programs. Prime has suddenly had two shows jump into the 10, while ABC’s Spicks and Specks had another big week.

Midway through the ratings year sees Prime closing the gap on NBN, being almost 3 points up on their result last year. TEN has seen slippage since last year but should expect some growth in the 2nd half of the year.
