TV Ratings Weekend 10-12 July: Al Jazeera did a Steven Bradbury in Sunday TV ratings
World Cup spillover helped Al Jazeera English News Morning beat Seven News and 9News in Sunday’s total TV ratings.
SBS’ FIFA World Cup coverage delivered a rare ratings spillover on Sunday, with Al Jazeera English News Morning becoming Australia’s most-watched news program of the day.
The program recorded a total TV national reach of 2,941,000 and a total TV national audience of 2,091,000, helped by viewers staying with SBS after its World Cup quarter-final coverage.
In true Steven Bradbury fashion, Al Jazeera English News Morning skated through to the top of the news rankings, beating both Seven News and 9News. Bradbury famously won Australia’s first Winter Olympic gold medal in 2002 after his rivals crashed out ahead of him in the final.
