TV Wrap: State of Origin audience falls in game 2, Nine wins tight first half of 2021
Nine’s coverage of the second 2021 State of Origin game brought in an average of 1.862 million metro viewers (2.701 million nationally), as the Blues dominated the Maroons to wrap up the series.
That figure was down on game one which had 1.911 million metro viewers, but was higher than game two of 2020 which aired in November and brought in 1.654 million viewers in metro markets.
Game two easily won all three key advertising demos on Sunday.
