Hattrick for Seven but Nine takes the night – now it’s down to Will Smith versus Kevin Costner

Although Seven had the top shows, Nine won the night in what is becoming a ratings week that may go to the wire.  

Seven News, Today Tonight and Home and Away delivered Seven a hattrick of top shows for the evening. But Nine still came in with an audience share of 27.4%, just ahead of Seven’s 26.7%. According to the preliminiary OzTam data, Ten racked up 25%, the ABC took 16.1%, and SBS 4.7%.

So far Nine’s weekly audience share is 28.5%, only just ahead of Seven’s 28.2%. Ten trails at 22.6%.

The weekly winner could well be decided by two things.

First whether tonight’s audiences go for Kevin Costner’s boat-based drama The Guardian on Seven, or Nine’s rom-com Hitch with Will Smith.

And second whether tomorrow’s audiences go for Goldie Hawn’s boat-based comedy Overboard on Seven, or Nine’s rom-com 50 First dates with Adam Sandler.

The top ten:

1. Seven News – Seven 1.4m
2. Today Tonight – Seven 1.3m
3. Home and Away – Seven 1.1m
4. Nine News – Nine 1.1m
5. Getaway – Nine 1.1m
6. 20 to 1 – Nine 1.1m
7. A Current Affair – Nine 1m
8. Two and a Half Men – Nine 1m
9. ABC News – ABC 1m
10. CSI: Miami – Nine 0.9m
