Ratings: Seven nabs every night, every city, but Married at First Sight causes some headaches.

Seven scored big in the second week of 2018 ratings, thanks again to My Kitchen Rules and the Winter Olympics.

Seven again won every night, every city topping demos, primary and multichannels.

  1. Where to now for Seven – Spartan & MKR in big trouble !!! MAFS going gangbusters.
    Can’t see Spartan screening again on Sunday night.
    For Seven the AFL cant start soon enough. could be along 4 weeks

    1. Seven could do an MKR / Spartan double, which would move it away from MAFS. Good Doctor remains strong. Keen to see how Resident & Aus Swimming Championships do. It will be a more even battle now, but hardly one that is over.

      1. Neddy, where is there any mention of Spartan in this story? How do you know how it rated? I’d like to know how it rated from the horse’s mouth rather than blind speculation.

          1. MKR is lowest ever, but hardly in trouble. Spartan is the bigger concern. The viewers aren’t idiots, and they saw through the promos for it really is – a Ninja clone.
