A tight network race in week 31

Nine won the week with 17.8%, which gave it a lead of just over one point ahead of Seven. That was a good result for Nine with Ashes cricket on Gem. Seven finished in second spot on 16.7%, but just 0.4 of a point ahead of TEN on 16.3% which would have given Seven a wake-up call. (It's had a few of them in the past few days!) Last week's was TEN's best weekly share of the year, while it was Seven's lowest.

Nine's HD multichannel had a share of 7.3% for the week, putting it close to three points ahead of the next best multi, 7TWO on 4.5%.

When it comes to combined channel share, Nine was a clear leader with 29.1%, Seven was second on 25.2%.
