If it's the last day of the working week it must be Friday graph day.

First Friday of the ratings year sees the first network graph for the year, with Seven upbeat about its opening gambit for 2016.
This unusual graph charts Week 7 results for the last decade, showing Seven averaging a 34.1% share for the week ahead of Nine’s 25.6% and TEN’s 17.3%. There’s no doubt it will claim the first week of the ratings year.
Networks were closest in 2008 when all three were less than 4% apart.
Seven, Nine, TEN, Free to Air share Week 7 (Sun – Thu) 2006 – 2016 6pm – midnight.

It’s the same every year. Seven added elements of Come Dine With Me to the failed MRR to produce MKR. They launch MKR on the back of the Australian Open and stagger it across the competitions shows. Then for week 1 of ratings they add a popular drama event for the first couple of Sundays and blitz the first fortnight in the ratings.
It can cause problems though. The later start for evening shows means that people who aren’t fans of MKR tend to skip or timeshift shows after it. So if MKR fans aren’t enamoured with a show it doesn’t do well e.g. Winter.
Why does Seven put out a total people graph to advertisers. They don’t even sell that demo. They sell 25-54.
Because they are far less competitive in that and other key demos.
Who are 7 trying to satisfy – their advertisers or themselves?
Do the ratings now take in streaming and catchup viewing? What’s after reality TV!?
No. Next week we get first catch-up numbers, but they will be separate.
Ch 7 will always work the numbers when it comes to ratings. They are on the slide down. Ch9 this year will over take them ( there news product is miles better than the ch7 product. ie: sex in the city sunrise ) ch10 have also positioned themselves far more competitive.
Can’t see Nine winning until MKR ends.
I predict that 2016 would be a different year for Nine as a few people would switch off The Voice, The Verdict, Hot Seat, ACA, AGT & Reno Rumble.
Home And Away is doing well it’s still in or near the Top 10 I still watch it i’m sure many others do as well
7 always seem to start with a bang but although a strong 7.30 – 9.30 timeslot, they have cause for a lot of concern – Sunrise, 7 news, Home & Away all not performing that well….
Seven News has won every night this week?
In SA and WA, not in NSW, VIC or QLD. WA helps them nationally.
I’m aware of state trends, a win is a win, that’s how it works though.
money is the big three, not the little two.
If you can’t win Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, you ain’t getting the dollars.
If they didn’t have MKR .It might be a different story.
Why people watch this show.More about the Villian then the food.
Not to mention that these villans are villans because they kick up a fuss if it’s food they don’t like. By that logic every 5 year old is a villain!!!
