Battle for yearly ratings win intensifies as Nine closes gap on Seven
Nine has taken out its 17th weekly ratings win for the year, bringing it even closer to rival Seven, which currently boasts 18 weekly wins. 
If one of the networks can reach 21 weekly wins in the headline measure of metro all people, it can claim victory for the 40-week ratings year – but with only five weeks left of the official ratings period, the race is getting tighter.
And earlier this year it seemed almost certain Seven could win the ratings year in record time. Indeed when the 20-week halfway point was reached, Seven had 16 wins to Nine’s four.
Nine however began an uninterrupted winning streak in week 20 (9 to 15 July), which ran until week 27 (27 August to 2 September). Since then, Seven has won just two weeks – week 28 (3 to 9 September) and week 31 (24 to 30 September) – and Nine has won six.
Hi,
You are not posting the correct ratings each week, you are not Channel Nine’s PR.
OzTam, 6pm-12am, total people, all channels is the ‘industury standard’.
Seven claimed 2017 weeks ago, when they won their 21st week on that metric.
No idea why you are using Nine’s “commercial shares”, when it obviously is designed to make them look better.
Note:
Seven also won last week, stealing it from Nine, on the correct metric.
Thank you.

Just out of interest, do any of us buy TV based on who won the ratings year?
