Nine wins the week as ratings battle heats up

With Married at First Sight and My Kitchen Rules set to premiere on Monday, Seven and Nine have this week been relying on their sports coverage to draw in summer audiences.

Nine has been banking on the final few days of the Australian Open tennis tournament to deliver the ratings goods, while Seven was similarly pinning its hopes on its cricket coverage. This week, Nine emerged victorious with a 27.1% audience share on its primary channel, compared to Seven’s 16.4%.
