TEN Puts Up a Fight

6Aug07

Source: SMH online

Channel Ten should have won last week, with Thank God You’re Here and House riding high and Big Brother reaching its climax over two nights. But these hits weren’t enough to counter Seven’s lock on older viewers who love fly-on-the-wall documentaries and Nine’s lock on older viewers who find Lisa McCune’s acting credible.

At week’s end, the average prime time audience shares were: Seven 27.9 per cent, Nine 25.9, Ten 24.3, ABC 16.3 and SBS 5.6.
