More than 600,000 viewers tune in for first AFL clash of the season

The first night of Seven’s 2018 AFL coverage – which saw Richmond defeat Carlton once again –  attracted 664,000 metro viewers, up over ten percent on last year’s audience.

Although it was not the most watched program among the key advertising demographics, 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54s, the AFL clash was the most watched non news program for Thursday and helped Seven win the night overall, with a 23.1% share.

Back into it with a Round 1 win in front of 90,151 🐯🙌
