A very weak night for ratings. Nine won easily with a solid reveal on The Block, Seven and Ten ran dead, and the ABC didn’t care. The networks’ digital channels had a combined share of 34%, and SBS had a double digit (10.5%) share of total people.

Insiders was the 10th most watched program on Sunday, without anything happening in politics — such as an election or a crisis — to spark viewer interest (the size of the audience was the highest in several weeks). That shows how flat the commercial networks were running.

In regional markets The Block won with 411,000, then Seven News with 406,000, Nine/NBN News with 294,000, 7pm ABC News with 293,000 and 60 Minutes with 254,000.
