ABC News up in latest ratings week

Events in Canberra helped ABC to a lift in ratings last week, notably for ABC News multichannel. Both lifted by a full share point compared to the week before.

ABC News was its top drawcard of the week, while 7:30 also enjoyed an increase.

Alas TEN’s Pilot Week experiment saw the network slip backwards compared to the previous week with not enough viewers road-testing what was on offer.

Although Nine led in primary channel share, Seven network won yet another week.
