After 12 years, the Nine Network won the 2019 ratings year for the first time since 2006. The Seven Network had won every ratings year between 2007 and 2018 inclusive, however, due to lower than expected ratings, and a launch of new programs not performing as hoped, this allowed Nine to regain lost ground during the most competitive times of the ratings period (most notably, Nine's "Married At First Sight" performed above expectations, and consistently beat "My Kitchen Rules" which saw its lowest figures on record) which resulted in Nine's first win in the first quarter since 2009.
