Nine and The Ashes dominate Saturday television, beating Rugby League World Cup final on Seven
The first day of the second Ashes test between Australia and England in Adelaide helped Nine top the ratings ladder on Saturday night, although Nine News was the most-watched program for the day with 1.040m metro viewers, according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings.
Session two of the test – which screened on Nine’s main channel between 4:30pm and 7:40pm AEDST – had the largest audience of all sessions, pulling 871,000 metro viewers.
So which one is larger? 1.283 million or 1.205 million? Thanks for weird analysis but.
Hi Philip,
You are correct. 1.283m is indeed a larger number than 1.205m. The article is angled on OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings though, which is made clear in the first paragraph.
The second session of The Ashes had 871,000 metro viewers, ahead of The Rugby League World Cup’s 842,000.
It’s also clear that on a national basis, the World Cup snatched the lead: “Once regional numbers were added to the mix however, the rankings did change.”
Happy to offer you a weird analysis any time,
