It was the wedding – well, not just the wedding, but it certainly helped.
• Seven wins the battle of the Royal Wedding TV ratings
After six nights of week 20 Nine was actually 0.8 ahead in primary share, but after Seven’s big Saturday win Seven jumped ahead to claim the week.
In combined channel share, Seven was ahead all week with consistent performances from both 7mate and 7TWO. The only channel to fall below 3% all week was 7TWO on Saturday and that was because all the viewers were watching the primary channel.
The top seven week 20 shows were from Saturday night wedding coverage.
Just one entertainment show made the top 10 and did better than 900,000 – The Voice Sunday with 1.0m from May 13.
