Seven won total people, Ten won the main channels with I’m A Celebrity doing better — 972,000 viewers, still the most watched non-news program.
Seven’s BBL game didn’t make the national top 10 in any form — 574,000 was just outside the group. A further 192,000 watched on Foxtel.
And that was the night. Nothing else is worth writing about. Such a weak night. It was the pits. The networks’ digital channels had a combined share of 36.2%, a sign of the desperation among loyal FTA viewers.
