Monday Ratings
Seven
Home and Away started a new week with 523,000 in three markets after a week 38 average of 594,000.
The Brownlow Medal screened on Seven in AFL states and on 7mate elsewhere. The combined metro audience was 895,000. The audience in Adelaide and Perth last year was 985,000 (820,000 was that three-market comparison this year). The audience though was big enough to push Seven out to a big Monday win.
