The Test cricket wasn’t feeding in a huge audience to Seven last night which might have helped Nine regain top spot in the TV ratings.
Nine’s key offer was A Current Affair, an hour of RBT and then a repeat of one of a cracking episode of season five of Australian Crime Stories.
Nine also had tennis on offer as Wide World of Sports presented the Adelaide International from Memorial Drive Tennis Centre and Sydney Tennis Classic from Ken Rosewall Arena on Gem. But with a channel share of 1.8%, Gem wasn’t a big ratings contributor and was outrated by five other multichannels.
I’m a Celebrity continues to perform well in key demos for 10 and the Monday episode lets a comparison be made for the first time with an episode week-on-week.
The franchise launched a week ago on Monday with the following numbers:
Episode 1
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! (Monday Jan 3)
Monday Opening Night: 1.062m national (Metro 794,000 Regional 268,000)
Monday To The Jungle: 1.015m national (750,000/265,000)
Episode 6

Monday Night: 862k national (Metro 633,000 Regional 229,000)
