Saturday swings it to Seven...

...but only 2% separated Seven, Nine & Ten

Last night saw Seven clinch Week 10 of the 2008 Ratings with a strong performance from Seven News, The Vicar of Dibley and The Great Outdoors. Nine looked a certainty to grab the week with the strongest ratings for Underbelly to date, three Ramsay’s and stronger Tuesday and Wednesday results at 7:30 with 20 to 1 and Two and Half Men respectively.

Channel Ten’s finals of So You Think You Can Dance, The Biggest Loser plus a new season of Big Brother would have also mixed things up.

Seven stole the week with Friday thanks to Seven News, Today Tonight and Better Homes and Gardens plus Saturday’s strong result which saw the figures:

Friday
Seven 27.1%
Nine 26.5%


Saturday
Seven 30.6%
Nine 26.5%

Nine’s problem on Saturday was the repeat of Racing Stripes at 7:30 and Saturday Night Rugby League which only attracted 300 000 viewers.

Nine must be disappointed and this is the last week of Underbelly and Seven now have 6 weeks in the bag while Nine still sits on 3 ratings victories. Overall the week was extremely close thanks largely to Ten’s reality shows.
