Seven was number one network nationally in all people and key demographics for another week. The number one program was Seven’s AFL coverage on Friday night that became the highest rating game of the season so far. Not far behind was Saturday’s twilight game that ranked third overall. Seven’s share was on par with the last five weeks, Nine and ABC were up slightly while 10 and SBS lost share.

Also helping Seve’s share were two quarter final episodes of The Voice in 13th and 17th. Home and Away was 16th with a repeat episode of The 1% Club UK next best entertainment show 19th. With The Chase just making the top 30, The Front Bar ranked 32nd.

Nine News Sunday was its network’s best entry while The Block was the week’s top entertainment show again with all episodes topping one million viewers. The top rankled NRL game was just short of one million to rank 14th. Celebrating television’s 70th birthday in Australia, a Tipping Point prime time special was 25th while part two of 70 Years of Television was 33rd short of a repeat of John Farnham 60 Years special that was 31st.

ABC’s top show was news in 20th place. Hard Quiz was the network’s top entertainment show in 37th place ahead of Portrait Artist of the Year 42nd.

Have You Been Paying Attention? maintained its top 30 position for 10 as Gogglebox improved its audience and ranked 44th.

Sunday’s episode of The Block topped the BVOD table with the two AFL games doing well to be 2nd and 3rd with Friday’s game knocking The Block off the top of the 25-54 rankings.

A good result for Seven, AFL Prelim Finals beating The Block and even Nine’s Sunday with NRL Finals lead-in including Nine News.

Big week this week with the Brownlow and Grand Final, both exclusive. Also the heavily promoted Dennis Cometti doco special.
