Nine won in metros and the regionals — the latter telling us just how dominant the network was last night across the country as its ratings were driven by The Block. 60 Minutes did well, as did the news. The Block had 1.720 million viewers nationally and with 60 Minutes averaging 1.637 million nationally ( the two programs were first and second nationally), Nine had an easy win. Sunday Night did well for Seven with 1.585 million viewers and third spot nationally. Nine cleaned up in the demographics and that was the night.

In the mornings, Insiders maintain its dominance with 348,000 metro viewers on the ABC and News24, well ahead of the other morning chats. The Bolt Report averaged 118,000 metro viewers. Nationally Insiders had a total of 530,000 viewers on the ABC and News 24, while The Bolt Report managed 200,000.
