Another close results on Monday with Seven one point clear of Nine in network and main channel shares with the 7.30 time slot especially competitive.
It was the final of the Lego Masters Grand Masters season with close to 600k tuning in for the “Winner Announced” and 576,000 for the rest of the final.

Last year the final had 688,000 and 669,000; 2021 had 1,001,000 and 933,000 while 2020 had 1.43 million.
