Hello Tim, very interesting thank you. Are you able to say what share Seven in Perth got last night with West Coast’s nail biting AFL win? Melbourne was 48% on Thursday night, so I’m guessing Seven Perth notched up a 50%!? Cheers

Hi Dave,

I’m afraid that’s a number I won’t have til tomorrow. I reckon you’re probably right though.

Cheers,
