State of Origin Game 1, Match: 1.92 Million (Sydney 950k, Melbourne 250k, Brisbane 600k, Adelaide 45k, Perth 75k)
Ratings will probably fall below the magic 2 million mark due to it not being played in Melbourne (so less incentives for viewers in the Victorian capital to tune in) and also because of the 9Now streams.
MasterChef or House Rules will probably be the night’s top show in the AFL cities.

State of Origin will dip from last year but will still win the night for Nine thanks to 9Now streaming and people attending pubs on that night. MasterChef will however, take a slight dent in ratings.

Nine should win the night with the cricket, although the weather may have a say.
Seven will be hoping ratings for The Super Switch will improve, otherwise it will have to take it off the 7.30pm timeslot.

Did you see how much Nine lost Friday by? Nine need a big win on Saturday to win the week but given the huge shares the AFL generates, it’s unlikely that will happen.
20 June 2019.
It will be an easy win for Channel Seven tonight thanks to AFL. 7mate will have a strong primetime share in Perth over 9Gem, TEN, Nine, Seven, ABC and SBS.
