Seven produced a perfect score card for week 36 for the network’s eighth consecutive victory winning total people and all key demographic groups.

Highlights for the network included the start of AFL Finals where two of the games made the top 10 and topped one million viewers. Seven News Sunday was the number one bulletin with The Voice’s Sunday episode ranked ninth while 7News Spotlight just missed the top 30 in 31st place. Home and Away was the top scripted drama while The 1% Club also did well even in repeat mode.

Nine’s The Block continued to be the dominant reality TV program on air with all episodes averaging over one million viewers. That helped Nine to win Monday and Tuesday. 60 Minutes was the top Sunday current affairs program while A Current Affair won at 7pm. The network also did well with the one off special Steve Irwin: A Wild Life while NRL scored a Friday Night season high to rank 24th.

Australian Story’s anniversary episode did well for ABC in 26th place. The top entertainment show for the network was Portrait Artist of the Year in 41st place with Grantchester and Gardening Australia just making the top 50.

Have You Been Paying Attention? made the top 30 for 10 with Traitors’ episodes 34th for Tuesday and 38th for Wednesday while Gogglebox was 46th.

The Block continued to lead the key demo and BVOD tables.
