October 23, 2016 12:08

Four dominant nights by The Block have combined to give Nine the weekly honours over Seven as the home renovation show delivered big audiences for the network.

The Block grabbed four consecutive nights with audiences above one million, including the highest rating show of the week with 1.279m tuning in on Sunday night.

Overall Nine had seven of the top 10 shows of the week, while Seven could only scratch the surface with its news shows.

In particular, Seven’s talent show, X factor, has failed to deliver for the network with the show reporting its lowest ever audience on Monday night dropping below 800,000 with just 798,000 capital city viewers.
