Ratings: Nine won another ratings week, but the real story was a battle between Seven & TEN.

Last week was another win for Nine in Total People and Demos, as led by The Voice.

But the real news was in TEN nabbing second place in the Demos, pushing Seven back into third place. If TEN had stronger multichannel performances it could have been a real contender.

With schedules changing this week, their run is unlikely to be repeated, but credit where it’s due.
