Just 291,000 tune in to AACTA Awards coverage
Fewer than 300,000 metro viewers watched the 8th AACTA Awards on Seven last night, down from last year’s 309,000.
The program ran at 8:30pm and managed 291,000 metro viewers, which increased to 457,000 when including the regional figures, according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary figures.

Not exactly a shock is it? Not one single tweet from 7 re AACTAs last night. Only 1 Facebook post…the day before broadcast. Nothing on Instagram.
And the fact media cover the event live, rather than the delayed broadcast, mean there is really no point for a punter to tune in besides the red carpet fashions.
