Viewing data was originally sourced from Screen Australia (2017–2019) and OzTAM (2020–2021). Refers to metropolitan figures only as this is what is reported by the sources Screen Australia and OzTAM. Metropolitan figures include data from the five largest cities in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth). Includes free-to-air programs in Australia only.
2019 sport broadcast viewership was too low to be included in the data set.
Data refers to sporting events/matches and does not include presentation broadcasts.
