Glenn Dyer’s comments: Well, Nine had a bigger share last week including its Digital TV channel, GO. Seven had a bigger share on its main channel, 26.9% to 25.3% for Nine. Seven won the week. Seven’s new digital channel 7TWO starts next Sunday. From then on there will be no more confusion about aggregated versus separated audience figures.

According to Fusion Strategy in Sydney, Pay TV suffered a very large and nasty 15% fall in prime time viewing in the broad 16 to 54 age group (which takes in all major groups marketed to). Pay TV’s average audience in this group from 6pm to 10.30pm fell from 411,000 in the same week of 2008 to 349,000 last week. It lost audience on every night of the week, although last night it managed to scrape a small rise, thanks to the One Day cricket on Fox Sports from India.

Last night we saw Nine have a bigger share than Seven, but Seven had a bigger share than Nine on a main channel comparison, 27.4% to 25.1% because Nine’s GO had another strong Sunday night with its second 4% plus share in a row.

TONIGHT: Top Gear, still on SBS. Nine has The Mentalist. Ten has Good News Week at 8.30pm. But first make sure you at least sample Jamie Oliver’s Jamie’s American Road Trip The ABC has Australian Story and Four Corners. Seven has FlashFoward. Criminal Minds at 9.30pm is new. Mercy has been pushed back to 10.30pm and soon the life support machine will be turned off.
