Nine wins Thursday night

Nine claimed the number one spot in the ratings with its nightly news drawing 1.077 million viewers.

The Nine Network has finally taken out top spot in the ratings while The Biggest Loser: Challenge is weighing in light with viewers.

After the Seven Network won the first four nights of the new ratings season, Nine claimed the number one spot on Thursday with its nightly news drawing 1.077 million viewers.

Nine's reality renovation series The Block: Fans v Faves was second with 1.070 million followed by Seven News (989,000).

There hasn't been an avalanche of viewers for Network Ten's Sochi Olympic coverage but it's still breaking into the top 10.

On Thursday, the Men's Ski Slopestyle Final was 10th with 700,000 viewers, but more importantly this gives Ten a decent sized audience to promote its other programs.

However, its weight loss series The Biggest Loser: Challenge is struggling in its plum 7.30pm timeslot.

It was 22nd overall on OzTAM's's overnight ratings with 394,000 viewers.

To put that figure into perspective, the 23rd ranked show was the long running US soapie The Bold And The Beautiful, which screens at 4.30pm on Ten, and attracted 363,000 viewers.
