Nine won Monday night’s bragging rights and, yet again, it was on the back of the strength of The Block that went over the million-mark.

When it came to audience share, Nine managed 28.5 per cent, Seven had to settle for 26.5 per cent, Ten took 20 per cent, the ABC had 17.9 per cent and SBS pulled 7.1 per cent.
