17Aug09

Newcastle Ratings, week ending August 15

SC TEN has improved by 2.1% in its ratings for 09 compared to last year, but this still was not enough to even come close to 3rd place on the ratings figures this week. Only averaging 17.9%, where as 3rd place receiver ABC is cruising along on 20.3%. Prime, however, was winning last year with a high of 37.4%. This percentage being even higher than current 1st place station NBN for this years figures, with a 31.3% average.

Is it the programs being aired? Glad you asked, as even though SC TEN barely scored in the ratings, 2 of their programs featured in the Top Ten Most Watched Programs.

Confusing? Take a look for yourself…
