The numbers are crunched – the figures are in. Now that the final week of ratings is done and dusted we can see very clearly who got their nose in front this year… and it’s exactly who we expected. The Voice Australia is both the most watched regular program and the highest rating one-off program in 2012. What is indicative of Channel 10’s year is how few programs of theirs feature in either list (and not one mention of The Shire, Being Lara Bingle or Everybody Dance Now – how directly unkind), while the consistency of Channel 7 is clear as is the spikes in viewing around the blockbuster shows for Channel 9.

Nine pulled six of the Top 10 one-off shows to Seven’s four, whereas Seven delivered seven of the Top 10 regular shows to Nine’s three. A testament to the sport/reality filled year we’ve faced, with smatterings of good drama (Australian and otherwise).
