Prime fights back

7Oct08

Newcastle TV ratings week 40, 2008

The first week without Friday night football has seen a sudden change in the ratings numbers for Newcastle TV. This time last year Prime staged a late season charge at NBN, coming within a whisker of winning a non-Olympics week for the first time ever. Last week’s result indicate that this may happen again in the next month.

Its also worth noting that with the finer spring weather, viewing numbers have dropped.
