However, it was a different story for Ten on Saturday afternoon when the channel recorded one of its best audiences of the year, with the AFL grand final rating an astonishing 95.6% commercial share in Melbourne. Across the five cities it rated 2.9m, rising to 3.4m taking into account regional viewers.
I just can’t believe there were actually 4.4% of people in Melbourne not watching it. Perhaps they were members of the Melbourne Storm warming up for their game?
And Go!/One getting almost 6% between them on a Sunday? That’s more than SBS.

How did Rescue: Special Ops go? Is it rating well enough for a second series?

G’day Chris.
