Commonwealth Games delivers stellar week

Ratings: How sweet it is, 2 nights above a 50% share and the biggest single audience so far this year.

Seven dominated the second and final week of Easter non-ratings, with the Commonwealth Games serving up two nights above a 50% share.

The Opening Ceremony was the biggest audience so far this year at 2.01m viewers, outranking Married at First Sight and the Australian Open Men’s Final.

But it is a non-survey week and whilst ratings have now resumed until the end of the year, Seven will be forced to drop this week from annual numbers too. Still, it is a boon for advertisers, revenue and promotion of upcoming shows.
