Seven is claiming it has won the summer non-ratings, claiming a win in total viewers, 16-39s, 18-49s and 25-54s.
Seven says it finished summer with an All People share of 39.1%, over Nine’s 35.3%, and TEN’s 25.6%. Both Seven and Nine increased its share on 2007, with TEN losing ground (Week 49, 2008 – Week 6, 2009 6:00-10:30pm. NB: Prime time ratings are actually tallied 6pm- midnight).
The biggest audience for summer was Day 9 of the Australian Open with 2.31m.
In the lead up to the start of ratings today Seven and TEN have taken opportunity to unleash most of their key programming at the expense of Nine which has kept several key brands until this week.
Last week Network TEN defeated Nine on four nights, with the ABC tieing with Nine on Saturday.
As a result TEN came second last week ahead of Nine.
Seven: 33.2
TEN: 23.4
Nine: 23.1
ABC: 14.1
SBS: 6.1

Ch 7 showed alot of the shows they stopped showing during ratings season. That’s what attracted most viewers I imagine. Ch 9 used to win summer with cricket didn’t they? Cricket is not what it used to be.
No wonder Nine didn’t do as well. With all the garbage they showed over summer. And the whole thing with Gossip Girl.
9 was a disgrace over summer, and 10 not much better. 7 deserve the win with the tennis, HIMYM, and others.
I think I actually watched more of the ABC and SBS over the summer then I did of the commercial networks.
I also watched a lot of DVDs, especially seasons sets of classic TV shows.
channel 10 will still struggle throughout the year though. they havent got much to make them a contender with 9 and 7. their babies. reality tv isnt doing anything for them
Geez, wonder if all the TEN haters out there will calm down now and pick on Nine for a change (no invitation required I think)
There was nothing else good on TV. Seven actually had programs.
Yeah, thanks to two weeks of dominance with the Australian Open!
The seven silly season got absolutely no help from me, I want to know who is to blame, they need some serious counselling!
Apart from the Cricket ch9 had nothing over the summer.
And good on ch10 taking 2nd, although I can’t see that happening this week with Underbelly coming back. I still think 7 will take the first ratings week.
That’s a huge margin over TEn and Nine for Seven.
and deservedly so. they seemed to be the only ones with unaired episodes of shows. maybe the other networks can learn from it.
