The Seven Network has continued its recent ratings resurgence, claiming victory in week 28.

Nine was ahead for much of the week in network share, but strong numbers for the AFL and relatively low numbers for the NRL allowed Seven to move ahead and claim its fifth consecutive victory.

With finals quickly approaching, MasterChef Australia continued to dominate as the number 1 entertainment program.
