Logies see audience rise as Seven’s Sunday Night Nepal report tops a million viewers
Channel Nine’s live broadcast of the 2015 Logies broke a cycle of five years of audience decline with this years awards ceremony delivering Nine a metro audience of 971,000 viewers for the three-hour ceremony, despite some stiff competition.
However it was not enough to win the night with Channel Seven’s semi final of My Kitchen Rules viewed by 1.674m from 7pm to 8.30pm, followed by Sunday Night’s controversial Nepal special which got 1.023m viewers, giving Seven a total share of 27.1 per cent for the evening.
Nine followed on 25.2 per cent with Channel Ten taking 10.2 per cent, behind the ABC’s share of 10.7 per cent.
In a break from last year’s ratings, the Logie awards ceremony pulled more viewers than the red carpet arrivals (958,000). The decision to live broadcast the Logies ceremony this year also paid off with the audience up slightly from the 962,000 who watched in 2014.
Modern Family picked up on the week before with 534,000 and 609,000 tuning in to Ten for episodes one and two respectively.
Nine’s Sunday Afternoon NRL Live almost doubled last week’s audience to bring in 860,000 viewers, while Seven’s Sunday Afternoon AFL picked up slightly on last week to land 556,000.
On Saturday, Seven News and Nine News at 6pm were again the most watched programs with 1.118m and 906,000 respectively, while the ABC scored well with Father Brown, DCI Banks and Gardening Australia delivering 18.8% of the total audience share.

Nup, based on these numbers you can’t say “the 2015 Logies broke a cycle of five years of audience decline”. I can think of two basic media maths reasons why. Anybody….anybody…..? (Hint: last year’s average audience was 962,000). And actually it would have only been three year’s of audience decline, if it was in fact a decline.
