For supercar fans, Bathurst is THE event of the year. However, despite the event’s popularity, there drop in ratings this year compared to last year.
Last year as many as 774,000 people watched the race, which was up on the previous year and defied a general post-lockdown drop in televised sport. As many as 1,060,000 watched the podium.
This year, however, 602,000 metro viewers watched the race, also down in 2021 when 816,000 people watched the race.
It did not stop Seven from winning the rankings, however. Last night Seven had an audience share of 36.4 per cent, followed by Nine with 28.7 per cent, the ABC with 15.1 per cent, Network 10 with 11.9 per cent and SBS with 7.8 per cent.
Today Seven declared it had won the TV ratings for 2023.
It was helped by the grand final of blind singing show The Voice for which 783,000 metro viewers tuned in to watch the result.
Meanwhile, 365,000 metro viewers watched Death In Paradise on the ABC, a total of 291,000 watched Born To Kill on Seven, and 281,000 watched India beat Australia in the ICC Men’s World Cup.
