Seven’s The Front Bar gets highest audience ever in absence of the AFL Footy Show

Seven’s AFL-focused panel show The Front Bar has climbed to its highest metro audience since launching in 2015, with 464,000 tuning in across the five capital cities, according to OzTAM’s preliminary overnight ratings for last night.

The Front Bar’s highest audience was in Melbourne, where 281,000 tuned in. The last episode of Nine’s AFL Footy Show before it was axed last week had just 97,000 metro viewers overall, 53,000 of whom were from Melbourne.
