Seven today confirmed the success of Big Brother across broadcast with ratings data for the finale on Wednesday, 22 July and for the penultimate episode of Tuesday, 21 July now available.
Figures have been unavailable following a cyber attack on Nielsen. However, as of today, the data company will be rolling out the missing results, with Monday being the day numbers will return to real-time.
There were a few show finales and season premieres during the time Nielsen data was unavailable, so B&T will be providing those key numbers, with the normal TV Wrap resuming Monday.
Big Brother: Winner Announced averaged 1.13m nationally, securing a commercial share of 36 per cent for 25-54s and 36.1 per cent for 16-39s in its timeslot.
Across the metro cities, the final and winner announced averaged 789,000.
Angus Ross, Seven’s Network Programming Director, said: “We were confident that Big Brother would deliver massive audiences in the key demos, particularly 25-54s, and the ratings released today confirm it.
“Big Brother has shifted our audience, being instrumental to us winning all key demos the last seven weeks in a row. It’s also been the foundation of 7plus breaking records, now winning 15 weeks in a row as the top CFTA BVOD service.
“We’re just getting started and we’ve got plenty more wins to come.”
