The weekly status quo held firm with Better Homes and Gardens on Seven at 7pm attracting 625,000 viewers to rank as the top general entertainment show of the night.

Seven News at 6pm secured the top spot, with 949,000, while Nine News was slightly behind with 932,000 tuning in.

The analysis on this site every Saturday morning is the same ‘Nine won with rugby league in sydney/bris v seven with afl in melb/adelaide – this is false, as always.

Fails to mention the respective games also air on 7Mate and Gem in other markets (before we even look at Fox Footy/Fox League). Get your analysis and information right please. It’s lazy!

7Mate & Gem aren’t real channels, they’re just a dumping ground for failures, repeats, syndicated shows and makegoods. How could you not miss the relentless stream of ads which say “Why are you watching this rubbish when xyz is on our main channel.”?

@Ryan, so who won? AFL is always the smaller of the codes in Sydney and Brisbane as id NRL to melb and Adel so I don’t get your argument.
