The Block Sweeps Weekend Overnight TV Ratings for Nine
Ever since the premiere of its 15th season on Nine, The Block has consistently topped the charts on the free to air overnight ratings. It’s no surprise that it’s recognised as Australia’s most successful reality program!
Sundays have been proven to be a winning airtime for The Block, having hit the million mark two consecutive Sundays in a row this time. Last night, the show reached 1,145,000 viewership, which made it take the lead ahead of Sunday news shows, as well as Nine’s coverage of the Mid Year Ashes and Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent.
The Block is well positioned for another great run with high ratings that are placing them ahead of the ratings competition. Suffice it to say, this spells out another big win for Nine, especially following the success of The Voice Australia and Australian Ninja Warrior, which have previously aired and wrapped up new seasons this year.

Sunday Is A Big Night For Sports!
Sundays evenings are always a good time to stay in and tune in to all the best sports across subscription channels. Last night, the NRL match between Wests Tigers and Sharks took the lead with a whopping 288,000 viewers, which shows an increase from last Sunday’s match between Dragons and Wests Tigers at 270,000. After all those rugby action, other major sporting events including the Italian Grand Prix, plus the premiere of Aquaman on Foxtel Movies Premiere took home the top spots of the night.
