Both Seven Sharp and The Project lost viewers last night, as the battle for 7pm continues.
A ratings decline was almost inevitable given the public holiday and golden weather - with the real test of TVNZ's new line-up still to come.
433,000 Kiwis aged 5+ tuned in to Seven Sharp last night, compared to 467,000 on Monday.
By comparison, The Project saw 122,000 viewers tune in, down slightly from 126,000.
