It was a rather strange non-ratings week, all things considered.
Seven had the Men’s Final in the Australian Open and three bumper episodes of My Kitchen Rules, both as high as 1.68m viewers. Nine’s best was a new Big Bang Theory (1.26m) but its Twenty/20 Cricket (1.24m) turned in some bumper shares.
ABC’s Doc Martin (1.26m) gave the public broadcaster a rare win over commercial competition on Friday, while TEN Eyewitness News (649,000) was the best TEN could manage (Big Bash reached 464,000). TEN’s primary channel plummeted to a dreadful 6% share on Friday, beaten by GO! but rocketed back to 15.7% on Saturday.
In the end it actually proved to be a tight race between Seven and Nine.

Where the heck is The Living Room ? This show I am sure would help on Friday nights with their shares.
Back first week of ratings. Check the site, Calendar, thanks.
The big question this year is whether ch10 will reclaim 3rd spot and show signs of recovery or head off into oblivion. Ch7 and 9 will probably share the spoils demos v total audience
