Sport continues to dominate summer ratings.
The Big Bash League helped TEN’s primary channel to and ahead of its rivals, whilst the network topped all three demos last week 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.
Tennis on 7mate enjoyed a big lift, up from 2.2% share last week to 5.9% this week, which bodes well for the Australian Open.
Meanwhile The Ashes: Australia vs England S3 (1.28m) was the highest ranking title of the week.
The Ghan saw SBS rise last Sunday but overall it finished the week 0.1% down on the preceding week.

And with no cricket on Sunday TEN crashes from #1 to #5, beaten soundly by SBS.
With an Australian in the final 7 should have moved it to their main HD channel.
