Three episodes of Alone Australia have now passed the one million viewer mark.

SBS dominates digital viewing taking out eight of the top 10 slots in OzTAM 28 Day VPM rankings.

May 4, 2023

The first three episodes of Alone Australia have now all passed the 1 million viewer mark driven largely by the show's incredible success on SBS On Demand with almost half the audience coming from online.

In the month since the debut of Alone Australia the first episode of the show has seen a phenomenal 329% Total TV uplift driven largely by Australians watching on SBS On Demand. The other six episodes have also had significant uplifts of between 153% and 273% respectively. See breakdown below.

The Total TV audience for episode one now stands at 1.27m (when taking into account both SBS On Demand and 28 Day Timeshift) and remains SBS's highest rating program for 2023 to date. Episode two and three are now at a Total TV audience of 1.23m and 1.14m respectively. Episodes 4, 5 and 6 also continue to grow with Total TV audiences of in excess of 845,000 each and continuing to grow.

SBS is also continuing to dominate the 28 Day OzTAM VPM rankings through the success of both Alone Australia as well as Rogue Heroes with the network taking out an incredible eight of the top 10 slots.

Linear TV audiences also continue to be strong for the show. Episode seven of Alone Australia, broadcast last night, had a linear audience of 345,000 (metro: 230,000 reg: 115,000). Since 7.30pm yesterday a further 64,000 viewers have watched this episode on SBS On Demand (Live VOD) bringing its total audience to date to 409,000.

Historical drama Rogue Heroes, which depicts the origins of the British Army SAS, is also continuing to perform strongly online since its debut a month ago. The first episode has drawn 275,000 viewers on SBS OnDemand and remains in the top 10 in the 28 day rankings. This is a 281% Total TV uplift in its audience bringing its Total TV audience to 815,000 (metro: 129,000 reg: 85,000 Time Shift: 326,000 BVOD: 275,000 (Live VOD). Episodes 2,3, 4 and 5 are also performing strongly.

Last night SBS had a metro linear share of 5.9% on its primary channel and 10.1% network share in total people.
