Total TV ratings, Saturday February 25, 2023: 7News blitz
Seven News was a clear Saturday favourite in the overnight ratings a week ago with 640,000 in metro markets. A week later the Total TV national numbers pushed that figure to just over 1m with a lead of over 200,000 of the Nine News Saturday offering.
The biggest mover near the top of the rankings was Nine’s Space Invaders which delivered 285,000 metro overnight. That turned into a Total TV audience of 493,000 including a jump of 19% in 7-day time shift and BVOD.

The final TV ratings night of week 9 saw Nine win with a clean sweep of the week. Married at First Sight of course powered the first four nights, then it was two nights of NRL followed by three people cleaning up a garage full of junk on Saturday.
After the news hour on 546,000, the final episode of the six-nights-a-week A Current Affair started with host Deborah Knight introducing a Dan Nolan story about people waiting three years for refunds from a cancelled Tony Robbins appearance in Australia. The audience of 434,000 watching made ACA the timeslot champ in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Nine then went with Space Invaders with 263,000 followed by the 2004 romantic drama The Notebook with 142,000.
