If the ratings race has ever been this tight before, then surely not for a very long time.
Just two week ago, Seven had hit the front in Total People for 2019. But by Wednesday Nine was back on top due to the dismal start by The Super Switch. However AFL came back strong on Thursday, Friday & Saturday pushing Seven back to the top once more.
Seven claimed the week by just 0.2%, although Nine still owned the demos. The ICC Cricket World Cup gave 9GEM a superb 12.1% share on Saturday.
Meanwhile MasterChef also hit a 2019 high for 10 on Wednesday and the FIFA Women’s World Cup was good for SBS.

Without AFL, 7 would be Royally stuffed.
I suspect they would be asking nicely for some more Thursday night games in 2020.
Just like Nine would be stuffed if they didn’t have the NRL. Like most weeks this year, NRL states went to Nine, AFL states went to Seven.
Nine typically have the stronger run home with The Block, so you would imagine it’s there’s to lose
But look at last week…. The Voice won… Super Switch died. Seven still took the week.
They won because of AFL and their advantage of their 5th channel ‘Food Network’.
Yep, as the story indicates. So it doesn’t just hinge on The Block.
