News dominates ratings week

Events at home and abroad drew viewers to screens last week, with local floods, war in Ukraine and the death of Shane Warne pushing news high.

Nine News topped the week at 1.1m viewers, nominally ahead of Seven News at 1.07m. ABC News also led ABC’s week with the ABC News channel topping multichannels once again.

In Entertainment MAFS is far and away the crowd pleaser, with a Celebrity Gogglebox special best for 10.
