Seven’s bumper start to the year continues, extending its lead over Nine in the second week of ratings.
Seven pulled a 32.4% share over Nine’s 25.0% thanks to shows like My Kitchen Rules, Molly and First Dates.
Nine may have had new joy in the breakfast battle, with Today taking the first 2 weeks from Sunrise, but in primetime it is having its worst opening to the ratings year in more than a decade.
Meanwhile the ABC landed ahead of TEN for a second week, with Doc Martin outranking any show Nine or TEN aired all week.
