Long-ass post warning here, but official TV ratings are out for Japan's New Year's Eve Programming for the 6 main free-to-air stations. As usual, Kohaku Uta Gassen won the ratings overall and Gaki no Tsukai finished on top of the non-Kohaku ratings battle for the 7th year in a row. Aside from Kohaku, Gaki was the only program to achieve double digits in primetime ratings.
Note that the TV stations have divided their ratings into parts:
NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen: 35.1% for part 1, 40.2% for part 2 (the first time in two years that Kohaku has broken the 40% mark)
NTV's Gaki no Tsukai: 17.7% for part 1, 16.1% for part 2 (both parts increased on their respective offerings from last year, part 1 by 0.1% and part 2 by 0.8%)
TV Asahi's Quiz Survivor: 7.1% for part 1, 5.8% for part 2, 5% for part 3, 6.9% for part 4 (a major decrease; part 1 managed to get 10% last year, this year not even close)
TBS's Kyokugen sports program: 6.5% for part 1, 6.3% for part 2, 5.5% for part 3, 4.2% for part 4 (major decrease here as well; highest rating it got last year was 9%, this year could not even break the 7% barrier)
Fuji TV's RIZIN MMA GP: 5.6% for part 1, 7.1% for part 2, 5.7% for part 3, 3.6% for part 4 (slight improvement, although last year was split into 3 parts only.)
TV Tokyo went with two different programs for its lineup, getting 2.5% and 3.9% each. (TV Tokyo are notorious for not really caring about New Year's programming, so nothing really noteworthy)
