Seven leads Sunday, with Bones and Air Ways nipping at Ten’s share of younger viewers
Seven led Sunday’s prime time viewing and managed to snare 16-39 year old viewers from its younger-skewed network rival Ten.
Seven’s observation documentaries Air Ways and Border Security rated strongly, with the former leading the night with 1.467 million viewers, according to preliminary overnight OzTam data in the main metro markets.
Ten’s comedy quiz show Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation was number one among 16-39s.
However, the channel’s other shows House and The Good Wife – which last week were the second and third most watched shows respectively in this age group – this week came in below Seven’s US crime show Bones and Air Ways.
