Seven continues on a mid-year revival driven by the same mix of winners it had last week. As we have noted before Big Brother on its own isn’t a winner other than in the younger demos.
However when mixed with Seven’s other programming strengths – breakfast, late afternoon, news and sport it makes a big difference to overall performance.
For week 25 the broadcaster has been able to claim Seven Network and Channel Seven wins 25-54, 16-39 and all people.
Nine was back in second place with a second successive week of primary share under 18%, its only two weeks of the year that low.
Less MasterChef has impacted 10’s share with the numbers down from six successive weeks over 14% to 12.1% for the primary channel last week.
