Channel 7's The Front Bar have continued their strong start to 2019, again rating well ahead of Nine's Footy Show last night.

SEN reports that The Front Bar, which features the likes of Andy Maher, Sam Pang and Mick Malloy, reigned supreme again last night with a reported 263,000 viewers across Melbourne.

At Channel 9, the new-look The Footy Show received just 92,000 viewers city-wide.

The viewership has been a fair discussion to start the season, with both football shows aired on Wednesday evenings due to the Thursday Night matches to start the season.

The Front Bar played host to 1983 Brownlow winner Ross Glendinning and Melbourne's Max Gawn, while The Footy Show had Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps and St Kilda spearhead Josh Bruce on the panel.
