Nine’s continuous run of wins since January continued in week 15. Though with only two episodes of Married at First Sight, recording 1.8 and 1.9million viewers, Nine’s winning margin was cut to 0.1%. Nine’s share was down slightly as Seven improved by one. ABC and 10 were also down while SBS improved slightly to one of its best shares of the year.

Apart from MAFS, 60 Minutes helped Nine dominate Sunday while a Travel Guides repeat ranked 18th.

Seven’s results included the top news ratings of the week and the top drama in Home and Away while Australian Idol and The 1% Club also did well. AFL Friday Night was the top sports entry in 20th place along with The Front Bar’s Gather Round episode that did well to rank 28th.

ABC had continued success with news and factuals as The Piano dropped out of the top 30 for the first time this season to 33rd place with Gardening Australia 35th.

10’s best was Gogglebox that climbed 14 places up the rankings to 36th place while Survivor had two entries in the top 50.
