  1. Seven would be getting blasted by media for prime time audiences of only 400-500k metro vs 800-1m for Married, if it weren’t for Olympics. The shares and therefore wins (thanks to late night and the yawn of 6 o’clock news and Perth) is the only reason why they’re not.

    I’m sure if you asked Nine, they’d be sitting back laughing, they would’ve forecast these two weeks a year ago. Tennis into Married has done its job wonderfully you’d have to say.

    All I’m saying is, PyeongChang was doing 800k-1m Metro 4 years ago, plus an MKR that was also doing 1m (although against a Married that started doing 1m too).

    You could argue though 10 and ABC affected by Married and Winter Olympics, with low-ish numbers for HQ, MAH and Ambulance.
