9NEWS has firmly established itself as the leading news bulletin in Melbourne, securing an early triumph in the 2024 ratings year.

As we near the end of the 22nd week in the 40-week official ratings calendar, 9NEWS has emerged victorious in all 22 weeks in Melbourne, based on average weekly audience measurements, ensuring an unbeatable lead.

This marks the first time Melbourne has secured the top spot since 2021.
