Seven wins biggest audience but Nine News is top-rated show
Seven and Nine fought for audience share last night with Seven winning by just one per cent, with many of the most popular TV shows in all people.
However it was Channel Nine that had the top program of the night with Nine News the only program to score over 1m viewers, as OzTam recorded an average 1.035m in the preliminary overnight metro ratings. Nine News was also the most watched program in Nine’s target demographic of people 25-54.
Meanwhile Seven News averaged 968,000 and Today Tonight, which clashed with a one hour news bulletin on Channel Nine in Sydney, averaged 875,000 from 6.30pm to 7pm.
Seven topped the entertainment lineup with Border Security, Australia’s Front Line, the most watched non-news program of the night and drawing 2,000 more viewers than Nine had for A Current Affair.
