Wimbledon slumps, but news, AFL and The Chase secure Seven’s Friday night win
Day five of Wimbledon slumped to 135,000 metro viewers, but the Seven Network still secured a win on Friday night with 36% share.
From 8pm to 11:10pm, Wimbledon coverage ran on 7Two, with Seven taking over from 11:10pm onwards (airing after Better Homes and Gardens and a screening of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel). However, some viewers weren’t happy that Seven prioritised the Lleyton Hewitt and Jordan Thompson doubles match (which they lost) against singles games.
Now tonight I would be on board with Channel 7 outrage about #Wimbledon showing a men’s doubles match while we have singles competition going. But hey who doesn’t want to watch a 10 time retiree in Lleyton Hewitt 😂🙄
