Seven still riding on that Olympic success


It appears that perhaps TV audiences have forgotten how to change the channel because last night Seven flogged it’s competition without the Olympics.


Seven owned 34.1% of the total audience share with Nine languishing behind with 22% and Ten with 20%.

The Top 6 shows of last night were owned by Seven with City Homicide topping the night’s most popular shows amassing almost 1.9 million viewers. New series of Border Security and The Force were also around the 1.8 million viewer mark while Seven News and Today Tonight each realled in over 1.6 million viewers thrashing Nine News and A Current Affair by 400 000 and 600 000 viewers respectively. Home and Away also bit back at the competition Two and A Half Men had been providing with 1.5 million viewers as opposed to Men’s 1.1 million viewers.

It is no surprise that Seven were all guns blazing last night and comprehensively beating Nine and Ten because these networks are providing no compeition, instead Nine screened two movies and Ten also scheduled the out of favour Burn Notice. Australian Idol’s figures were however soft but OK with 1.2 million viewers tuning in.

Expect Seven to dominate tonight as well when they launch Packed to the Rafters. 2 million may be on the cards.
