Seven extending lead over Nine

Nine will need to start winning more weeks if it is to have a shot at the 2018 ratings crown.

So far this year Seven has 9 survey weeks won (10 if we include the Commonwealth Games), whilst Nine has just 1.

Nine gave Seven a scare with Married at First Sight but My Kitchen Rules surged back after it ended, pulling 1.23m viewers last week. Nine has improved on its 2017 and while the year is won on share and not weeks won, Seven remains ahead of Nine.

Seven enjoyed another clean sweep: topping primary and multichannels, all demos, every night of the week and all 5 cities.
