Network Seven has claimed a summer season ratings victory – but TV buyers looking for data on yesterday’s programming will be disappointed after technical problems mean no figures are available today.

Seven today issued its analysis of the period from week 49 last year through to week five of this year. And it won in all of the main age demographics in primetime (6-10.30pm) too.

In the All People category, Seven took a 38.4% share, compared to Nine’s 34.9% and Ten’s 26.7%.

In 18-49, Seven took 36.2%; Nine took 34.1% and Ten got 32.9%.
