9NEWS has once again claimed annual ratings supremacy as Sydney’s most watched news.

Across the Monday to Friday 6.00pm hour, 9NEWS has won 21 weeks of the 40-week official ratings calendar, putting it in an unbeatable position.

At a time when Sydneysiders need to be informed, they turn to 9NEWS as their trusted news source.

Peter Overton said: “It is a privilege to be inside the homes of Sydneysiders every night, sharing the news with our viewers. At a time when we feel more isolated than ever before, the ability to connect is something we do not take for granted. We thank our viewers for all their support and for trusting us to bring them the news each night.”
