The table shows the average daily viewing figures from Channel 7 New over a 12- month period. The figure from 1pm News remained fairly stable, approximately at around 1.3 million throughout the year. The figure for the 6 pm News began the year at 4.8 million. It fluctuated, but the general trend was downwards and ended the year at 3.4 million. The figure for the 9.30 million gradually increased from 3.2 million viewers per day in January to a peak of 9.30 in May. However, this month saw the introduction of the 11pm News, and the figure for the 9.30 plummed hitting a low-point of 1.1 million in August. In the same period, the figure for the 11pm news rocked from 0.2 million to 4.1 million. At this point, the trend reversed. From August onwards, the figure for the 9.30 news grew 3 million by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the figure for the 11pm News declined sharply, and in December fell below the 1 million mark.
