Seven
The stats are more impressive with combined channel share – Seven was triumphant on all seven nights. It achieved all this without the week’s biggest TV event, The Melbourne Cup, contributing to the primetime share.
Seven’s primary share’s strongest night was Tuesday on 24.0% with Bride & Prejudice followed by The Good Doctor.
The strongest combined channel share was 33.9% on Saturday where the Harry Potter franchise did much of the heavy lifting.
Seven’s year-to-date combined all people share is 30.5% to Nine’s 27.4% and 10’s 17.4%.
