Seven wins the ratings week despite success of MAFS finale

The two-horse ratings race between Seven and Nine continued last week, with the final episodes of Nine’s Married at First Sight drawing the largest audiences, but Seven winning in terms of audience share.

The finale of Married at First Sight was the most-watched program of the week with 1.401m across the five metro markets and 2.005m once regional audiences were factored in, according to OzTam overnight preliminary metro ratings.

Seven, however, was the clear winner when it came to overall audience share, with 43.2% of the prime time commercial free-to-air audience across total people.

Seven also won the 25-54s demographic with 40.6%, compared to Nine’s 36% and Ten’s 23.4%; the 16-39s demographic with a 41.3% share; and the grocery buyers with kids, at 38.7%.

Channel 10’s highest-rating show of the week across the metro markets was Thursday night’s Gogglebox which pulled an average of 636,000, making it the 32nd most-watched program of the week.

The network however did slightly recover from last week’s poor performance.
