Multi Channels
Winner: 7two (4.8%)
Second: 7mate (4.6%)
7two were on top (again!) thanks to its combination of Bargain Hunt, Heartbeat and then a strong performance from Lewis at #2 with 121 000 viewers. 7mate was a solid second with the ob doc double of Highway Patrol and Highway Cops. It should be noted that the BBL airs on 7mate during the 6pm news hour in Brisbane and Adelaide and in its entirety for Perth, which contributes to the overall share of the channel.
