TV ratings: Seven pips Nine on a no-surprises Thursday

Channel Seven’s strong news coverage saw it take the ratings on Thursday night, with 28.7% market share compared to Nine’s 26.4%. There wasn’t much between ABC and Ten either.

There were no surprises at all in the top ten. Lower down, Seven benefitted from an extended Home and Away stretching across two time slots, and Mick Molloy’s The Front Bar pulling an impressive 331,000.

ABC managed to snare 17.6% of the market, inching closer to Ten’s 18.1%.
