A narrow win to Seven in networks shares in Origin week while Nine had the number one multichannel. We will have to wait for 7-day consolidated to see if that changes.

Nine’s share was comparatively low for a week that includes SOO. But it isn’t the first time Seven has managed this. In 2018, the network won two SOO weeks including week 28 by 30.4 to 28.9 - a week that also included the launch of Ninja Warrior and the TV Week Logies on Nine.

It was however Nine best share for eight weeks while Seven was down 1.5. 10 also slipped while ABC was steady.

For the multis, 7Mate was on an equal high for the survey, but 7Flix hit a 2021 survey low.

No surprises that Nine won Sydney and Brisbane, with Seven winning the AFL markets. Nine won the key demo groups.

[Kushaa]

Looking at the YTD numbers for both Nine and Seven networks - if we take out the extra multichannel 9Rush, it’s a tie for both networks.

I know this is probably not a common analysis but thought it was interesting to note

SBS The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4 Progress 342,000

Wow, what huge VPM ratings for SBS’ Handmaid’s Tale!

[Super_SC]

A close week between seven and nine. Seven won network share while nine won primary channel.
State of origin game I is the highest rating program so far this year after eclipsing Oprah Winfrey Harry and Meghan interview on Channel 10.
