Big Brother Boosts Network 10 Ratings

remains the leader in entertainment, but Big Brother's return significantly boosts Network 10's share, securing second place in its timeslot and pushing The Golden Bachelor to third.

Viewership Details

My Kitchen Rules semi-final won its slot with 1.01 million viewers nationally, well ahead of competitors.
Big Brother debuted with 774,000 viewers during a rainy season launch at Dreamworld, one of the strongest launches for Network 10 in 2025, likely second only to I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Big Brother led in the 16-39 and 25-54 age demographics.
The Golden Bachelor attracted 708,000 viewers on Nine, followed by Spicks & Specks with 361,000.
60 Minutes drew 619,000 viewers, a below-average figure for the program.
Portrait Artist of the Year had 553,000 viewers, The Girl Who Caught a Killer 549,000, and Ghosts Australia increased to 492,000.

Network Shares and News Ratings

Seven won Sunday overall, but Network 10 experienced a notable share rise not seen in some time.

Nine News attracted 1.28 million viewers with a late edition reaching 442,000.
Social Media Murders drew 189,000 viewers.
ABC News had 888,000 viewers, followed by The Forsytes (304,000) and Grand Designs Australia (192,000).
10 News had 289,000 viewers, with NCIS: Tony & Ziva at 210,000 and a slight increase for 10 News+ to 191,000.

SBS Programming

Upcoming SBS shows include SBS World News, JFK: One Day in America, The Castle: Rebuilding History, and Watergate High Crimes in the White House.

Big Brother scored 774,000 for its very wet season launch back at Dreamworld, which is possibly only eclipsed by I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here as 2025 launches go for the network.

Summary: The return of Big Brother has revitalized Network 10's ratings, securing strong viewership and demographic wins despite competition from rival networks and programs.
