We have a winner! Week 48 was the final week of the official TV ratings from OzTAM. The Winner Announced episode of The Block made a last-minute sprint up the chart and managed to reach #14, not enough to top the ratings for the final episode of Nine’s earlier season this year (The Block Triple Threat) at #10. Nor was it any threat to Seven’s AFL Grand Final broadcast with its $2.6m overnight viewers, the top show of 2015.
Here is Mediaweek’s list of the top 30 TV shows of the year at the end of Week 48:
