It would be great to know what was the top rated ABC1 and SBS shows are if they are not on on the top 10 of your daily list.

Hi Ayesha.

The top ABC show was ABC News, with 0.983m – in 13th place for the night. The ABC’s Rogue Nation (which I thought was rather good) was 15th with 0.853m. Lost in Austen did 0.794m.

I don’t have access to the full fat TV data feed, so don’t get the numbers low enough to cover SBS, I’m afraid.

Cheers,
