It's been three years since TEN won a ratings week, and only the second time since OzTAM began in 2001. Meanwhile Nine comes third in a week with State of Origin.
While the country held its breath on a $100m lotto, networks watched as their numbers stacked up in a routine order for Week 27. But some cities took a different view.
State of Origin powered to a record 2.28m viewers, helping Nine win the week. But TEN wins 3 key demo groups while ABC finished the week with its editorial tail between its legs.
