The line graph compares the viewership of Channel One news broadcasts at four different time slots throughout a year. The units are measured in millions of viewers per day.

Overall, for the majority of the period, view counts were the highest for the 6 p.m. broadcast, lowest but most stable for the 1 p.m. There was also a seasonal change mainly in summer, with viewership trending later in the day with the introduction of the 11 p.m. time slot, and 9:30 p.m. watching dropping temporarily.

Regarding the broadcasts at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., the former had a consistent viewership at a little over a million. However, the 6 p.m. slot began the period at just under 5 million and then went into a period of downward fluctuation settling at just over 3 million in December.

As for the remaining time slots, there were nearly three million people watching the news at 9:30 p.m. in January, which increased gradually to just under 4 million in May. Over the subsequent three months, the numbers dropped to a low of about 1 million, before recovering to 2.5 million in September and then rising more gradually finishing at 3 million by the end of the year. Finally, on May 1st, the TV station added a fourth time slot for 11 p.m., whose figures skyrocketed to a peak of 4 million in August, after which they experienced a steep decline to nearly a million in December.
