The first night of the Commonwealth Games got off to a great start on Seven helping the network to a +40% share, up 6 points from last Friday. The main channel was up 3 while 7Two and 7Mate also got healthy shares thanks to Comm Games and AFL coverage.

While the audience numbers were not at levels seen for recent Olympics coverage, the spread across the night ensured a high share.

That impacted the shares of other networks but not necessarily the ratings for individual shows.

In a poor week for Seven News it was again number one but Nine was again closer than usual.

Later, ABC’s Movin’ to the Country slipped but stayed above 300k, NRL on Nine was up 50k on the previous week while The Living Room also increased by 20k. AFL was down but outperformed the Games in AFL markets.

According to Seven’s guides the coding is 7:00 PM Evening, 8:30 PM Night and 10:00 PM Late
