Seven pulled ahead in the rating race with 15 weeks won to Nine’s 14 weeks after a close contest in week 29. Nine’s share was down five from the previous week with all other networks improving.

News and current affairs filled the eight of the top 10 places including Seven News Sunday as the number one show of the week with Seven News Mon-Fri number two.

Travel Guides was 250k clear of its nearest rival as the top entertainment show with Dancing With The Stars second and The 1% Club third.

Home and away was the top scripted program while 10’s best, Have You Been Paying Attention? was the number one post 8.30pm entry.

The First Rugby Test was the top sports entry ranking 17th with AFL Friday next best in 32nd place.

The return of Paramedics also made the top 30 as well as the Gruen season final, three episodes of MasterChef and Parental Guidance.

With State of Origin over for the year, it will be an interesting second half. Seven will be looking to AFL to give it maintain its momentum while Nine will be looking to The Block for some weekly wins. In some of the key demographics in the 5-city ratings Nine now can’t be beaten.
