Australia's new favourite afternoon game show Tipping Point has redefined the 5pm timeslot, growing the audience 47.8% year-on-year for a National Total TV audience of 601,000 and a National Cumulative Reach of 7.022 million.

That audience has cascaded into our national news audiences with 7.6% more people watching 9News year-on-year (National Total TV audience 1.036 million) including an incredible increase in viewers on 9Now of 63.2% since last year (National BVOD audience 63,000 per episode).

The number of Australians watching our other key shows has followed suit with significant growth year-on-year for A Current Affair (up 6.5%), Today (up 5.7%) and The Hundred with Andy Lee (up 13.8%).

And with 12.9 million viewers tuning into Nine's coverage of the Australian Open, sports fans are in for a treat when Paris 2024 airs later this year.

Michael Healy, Nine’s Director of Television, said: "These results vindicate the commitment from the team at Nine and our partners to deliver content Australians want to watch in greater numbers. Married at First Sight is more than a television program. With more than two million Australians watching every episode, it is a cultural phenomenon. We're also blown away by the performance of Tipping Point, which has boosted the audience for our 5pm timeslot by almost 50%. Together with audience growth for 9News, 60 Minutes, A Current Affair, Today and The Hundred, free-to-air television is thriving.”

ISUZU LEVERAGED A RUGBY PARTNERSHIP TO
DRIVE HIGH IMPACT MARKETING MOMENTS

CHALLENGE: At the heart of every Isuzu lies a tried and tested DNA of a refined combination of power, efficiency and reliability. In 2022, Isuzu wanted to bring this to life through the launch of the latest Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X, and to ultimately connect their product with a male audience.

SOLUTION: Rugby on Nine was identified as the perfect sporting vehicle to support Isuzu, over the Super Rugby Pacific and Wallabies Season, through compelling storytelling across our Total TV offering—including Channel 9, 9Now and Stan Sport, alongside radio integrations and Sports Sunday extension.

RESULTS: Utilising Nine's Rugby Union coverage, Isuzu put their brand message at the heart of the action—with a campaign consisting of an integrated Half-Time key moment with verbal introduction, Live Break TVC, Billboards, Radio Integration and a Key Rugby Moment extension across Sports Sunday during the Wallabies season.

"From an IUA perspective, we engaged in a 2022 Rugby Partnership with Nine to deliver multiple messages over an extended period, and so 33 weeks of rugby with multiple spots and integration allowed us to run a variety of creative at high frequency to an engaged male audience."

Nine’s End of Year Ratings 2023

The 9Network has ended the year as No.1 in all key demographics in the five major capital cities.

For the fifth year in a row, 9Network has once again asserted its dominance as the most watched network in the five major capital cities with the demographics that matter most to advertisers.

Across the calendar year, the 9Network has swept to an emphatic victory as the outright No. 1 in all of the key demographics with People 25-54, 16-39 and Grocery Shopper + Child. Furthermore, the 9Network recorded the highest ever commercial shares of any network with People 25-54 and 16-39.

The biggest Total Television audiences
are right here on Nine

Michael Healy, Nine's Director of Television, said: “Nine is proud to have delivered Australia’s best content yet again to engage our audiences. As a dominant force with all key demographics, we have increased our lead over our competitors. Our continued success is a testament to a consistent programming slate featuring the biggest moments on television, including the nation’s most talked about programs in Married at First Sight and The Block. Our sports broadcasts wield immense cultural impact as evidenced by this year’s Ashes series and thrilling NRL Grand Final. Our news and current affairs output is world-class, underscored by our remarkable achievements at this year’s Walkley Awards. We are also proudly home to the country’s No. 1 BVOD player, with 9Now boasting almost half of the commercial share.”

Michael Stephenson, Nine’s Chief Sales Officer, said: “The future of TV is Total TV - a combination of terrestrial, live streaming and on-demand. We license, create and curate our content schedule to maximise audiences across live, live streaming and on-demand. The growth of 9Now is critical to advertisers and reflective of changes in consumer behaviour.”

The network’s continued dominance in the key demographics is underpinned by an unrivalled content slate that began in January with the Australian Open and continued throughout the year with hit after hit - Married At First Sight, LegoMasters, Parental Guidance, The Summit, The Block, Love Island Australia, Travel Guides and The Hundred with 9News, A Current Affair and 60 Minutes, as well as sporting blockbusters State of Origin, the NRL and NRLW, The Ashes, and the ICC World Cup.

When Australians unite around content, they turn to the 9Network, which is the home of the highest rating entertainment program of the year (The Block - Winner Announced), the No. 1 reality series (Married at First Sight), No. 1 new reality series (The Summit), No. 1 metro light entertainment series (Travel Guides), No. 1 daily current affairs program (A Current Affair) and the No. 1 weekly commercial free-to-air current affairs program (60 Minutes).
