Whilst Nine’s news dominance is not yet being seriously threatened nationwide (it’s the number one show this week), Seven has made significant inroads with its 6pm service.

Seven News made the top 20 most watched shows this week with over 1.4 million viewers. It was helped by the super strong lead-in game show Deal Or No Deal, which often tipped the million plus mark during the week.

Elsewhere, things are not looking so good for Seven. Ten strengthened it’s overall second spot position by almost 2% points ahead of Seven.
