  1. This will barely be picked up by anyone outside network research, sales and advertisers, but Survivor only three thousand (!) viewers behind Married in 16-39s demographic in Melbourne last night, wow fantastic 10. Also, Seven would be somewhat pleased their AFL delivered with the Idol promos, as well as boosts to Seven News and Thursday to Saturday shares, even if not a patch on Nine’s reality powerhouse. I think things will be tightening up now, certainly after Easter.

    1. 10 will undoubtedly be thrilled that Survivor did so well in the 16-39 demo in Melbourne. It shows that MAFS isn’t quite as invincible as many people think. There is still a huge gap between MAFS and everything else, especially in Total TV numbers. That being said, it is little wins like these that can eventually lead to much bigger victories.
