It's all Seven

It is no surprise that Seven took the week with a massive audience tuning into Friday night’s opening ceremony capturing more than 50% of the televised audience with more than seven million people nation wide tuning into the start of the Beijing Olympics.

Seven beat Nine by 10% last week, thanks to the Olympics which saw the figures:

Seven 34.8%
Nine 24.8%
Ten 18.4%
ABC 16.7%
SBS 5.3%

Throughout the Games, Seven will be heavily promoting the new batch of shows which are set to launch after the Olympics. All ready Packed to the Rafters is being heavily pushed and a sexed-up Dancing With the Stars promotion has also aired, bringing the show into 2008.

Jamie Durie will be back on our screens with The Outdoor Room, a new series of Border Security plus the UK’s own version of The Apprentice. I hold my breath as the US version failed to excite viewers on Nine, the UK one looks no different however an Australian version might go down well with John Singleton perhaps?

If your sick of the Olympics then think again because Nine and Ten are screening a summer-esque line-up of repeats, failed programs and C-Grade movies.

All eyes will be on Seven and SBS as the Olympic action takes place over the next two weeks.

You cannot beat this television.
