Commonwealth Games pushes ONE to the top

ONE pulled a share of 4.8% last night as the top digital channel for the night.

It bettered GO’s 4.5%, 7TWO’s 2.8%, 7mate’s 2.3% and GEM’s 2.0%.

Its top audience was Commonwealth Games Primetime Late with 208,000. The same broadcast on TEN was 725,000 -a combined audience of 933,000. TEN tells TV Tonight it ceased aggregating ratings for simulcast programming on TEN and ONE at the start of this year.

TEN’s combined audience for the Primetime Early session was 737,000 viewers, however TEN claims a combined audience of 1.22 million viewers watched 18-year old Leiston Pickett take out the Gold Medal in the Women’s 50m Breastroke Final.

4.8% isn’t a record for ONE, which pulled 6.2% in early April, but that was with a Formula One race in non ratings.

The top show on a digital channel last night was The Vicar of Dibley on 7TWO with 231,000.

Seven won the night in network share.
