In just its first season, the Agenda Setters – featuring Caroline Wilson, Craig Hutchison, Kane Cornes, Luke Hodge, Dale Thomas and Nick Riewoldt - is close to pulling ahead of Footy Classified.
With an average audience this year of 185,000 across the Seven Network, Cornes and co are just 3,100 behind their Channel Nine rivals.
Breaking down the numbers, Classified – hosted by Sam McLure - brings in a bigger audience on a Monday when their line-up includes and featuring Matthew Lloyd, Jimmy Bartel, and Damian Barrett
The larger audience is likely boosted by the flagship show’s earlier start time of 9pm.
