Seven again won the month snaring 40.3 per cent of all ad dollars spent on free-to-air TV. Nine was second with 37.5 per cent and Ten third with 22.2 per cent.

However, total spend for the month was down 2.8 per cent from the previous month to $699 million.

Month on month, Seven improved by one per cent, Nine was down a similar amount and Ten remained steady.
