SBS pushed into seventh by Go and 7Two
The increasing impact of the free to air digital TV stations made itself known on Sunday with SBS being beaten into seventh place – for the first time behind both Nine’s Go and Seven’s 7Two.
Meanwhile, the absence of Nine’s Underbelly from the schedule saw Seven win Sunday night, although ratings for Dancing With The Stars faded slightly on its series debut the week before.
Underbelly’s third series concluded last week. There was no obvious lift for shows on the other big networks though last night. Instead, it appeared that floating viewers turned to Go and 7Two.
According to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam, Masterchef was the top rating show of the night with an average of nearly 1.8m viewers.
What happened to the traditional Sunday night movies the major networks used to schedule? Now it’s all reality tv and crime drama repeats.
Jesse, showtime and movie network, that’s what happened.
Good to see a reasonable amount of Australian made content up the top of the ratings ladder.
“pushed into seventh”
Says who?

If there was a world cup game, the story wouldve been different. Dont write off SBS that easily
