Thursday night rugby league game scores for Nine as it wins its first night of the year
Nine’s first Thursday night rugby league was a hit on Thursday, helping the network to its first nightly ratings win of the year.
The hugely anticipated clash between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and East’s Roosters scored a massive 560,000 Sydney viewers – with a peak of 670,000 – according to preliminary OzTam ratings data.
It had 290,000 viewers in Brisbane and the following Footy Show – which also aired in Melbourne in its AFL version – pushed Nine to its solid win with 970,000 viewers.
Seven’s My Kitchen Rules (1.739m) won the night, but it failed for the first time this year to push the network to its usual nightly win.
Not quite the “State of Origin” numbers predicted in the News Ltd press days earlier. State of Origin 2012 had an audience of 3.24 million.
Go the Bunnies!
It is bad to have league on Friday and Sunday now we have it on Thursdays has well.
NBN cut there News to halve a hour for the league. Not everyone loves league. It is as bad when the they do not for the other sports.
Leave our shows alone. If you want to watch sport go the game.
Plenty of other channels to watch Pamela
NBN regional news has so much to report that they need a whole hour?
