The Seven Network shows various nonfiction shows—such as news broadcasts (Seven News) and sports programming—as well as fiction shows.[3] In 2011, the network won all 40 out of 40 weeks of the ratings season for total viewers,[4] being the first to achieve this since the introduction of the OzTAM ratings system in 2001.[5]
