“With the most-watched news, breakfast show, winter sport, game show and lifestyle program, plus a strong slate of entertainment content, we’ve shown consistent scheduling and consistent leadership across the first six months of 2024. We were #1 in 15 of the first 26 weeks of the year and the home of the most popular programs. “7plus continues to go from strength to strength, thanks to the great content on Seven, the popular shows from our NBCUniversal partnership, and its ever-growing library of exclusive content.
It will get even stronger later this year when we add AFL and cricket to the 7plus pla.
