I think multi channels will decide the winner tonight…

I agree that Seven, Nine and the ABC’s main channels will be neck and neck, also factoring in start/end times and which markets will get certain programs in prime time or not at all.

Seven will start well with 6pm news, also following right from horse racing. Nine and ABC should share leads after, with Seven trailing slightly. But a later popular movie could also bring share back up for Ch 7, with little for Ch 9 and ABC later at night.

7mate should be massive with original Superman and Dirty Harry.

*Invictus Games Closing Ceremony: 550k
*Hay Mate: Buy a Bale, Concert for the Farmers: 650k

From a Sydney perspective, even though the Invictus Games are being held here I reckon the concert to raise money for drought relief in Tamworth on (what is usually) the NSW capital’s favourite TV station will probably get more viewers from the Closing Ceremony.
