Buoyed by the Logies and the end of Underbelly, the Nine Network has won Week 19 of ratings with a 28.9% share ahead of Seven’s 26.6% and TEN’s 22.2%
The ABC had 16.8% and SBS 5.5%.
Nine won Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Nationally it took Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Seven won Monday and TEN took Tuesday and Saturday.
In weekly wins so far this year Seven has six wins, Nine has four and there is one tie.
TEN had one real chance at a win two weeks ago, but despite taking some cities, fell short. Compared to 2007, the year is far from a walkover for Seven, and it’s doubly impressive given Underbelly has not screened for Nine in its home city.
Top show for the week was Seven News (Sun) with 1.58m followed by Logie Red Carpet Arrivals on 1.57m, NCIS 1.56m, Border Security (R) 1.54 and Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares 1.52m.

NCIS has been amazing this season (excluding the submarine episode). I really enjoyed Tuesday’s episode where Gibbs met his dead daughter’s best friend. Smart, fun, witty and compelling. Everything I like my TV to be. I usually hate those millions of cop shows, but once in a while a gem like this one and others like Damien Lewis’s Life comes out and puts a fun, unique spin on the genre. Great series, its Ten’s highest rated program for a reason.
