Ten struggles on Saturday night with top-rated program, Territory Cops, pulling just 274,000
Ten’s most-watched program on Saturday evening was a repeat of Territory Cops, with the commercial station scoring an average audience share of just 6.3%, only slightly ahead of SBS’ 6.2% and behind Nine’s 15.4%, ABC’s 15.7% and Seven’s 22.2%.
Seven’s strong performance was largely thanks to its news line-up and screenings of the films Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (647,000 metro viewers) and Clash of the Titans (279,000).
ABC placed second for the evening, according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings, and had five of the top 10 most-watched programs: ABC News (698,000), Home Fires (584,000), The Last Post (524,000), Doc Martin (438,000) and Gardening Australia (330,000).
Nine’s most-watched program of the night was Nine News with 737,000 metro viewers, while Da Kath & Kim Code had 368,000 and Getaway 330,000.
With the addition of regional numbers – including broadcast on affiliate stations – Seven News still topped the night (1.146m national viewers), and ABC News moved into second place (1.088m). Seven’s screening of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade had 935,000 national viewers.
