Welcome to the start of national split programming as the NRL beams into East-Coast homes on Nine.

A Current Affair (525,000) slips a little for Nine though still wins. Then Nine’s programming fractures to support the footy.
NRL Thursday Night Footy – Melbourne Storm v Sydney Rabbitohs (463,000) (SYD/BNE/MEL) and Thursday Night Knock-Off (203,000) (SYD/BNE/MEL) do alright, and coupled with the other programming helps Nine to the win.
Mega Zoo (77,000) (ADL/PER), Emergency (51,000) (ADL/PER), The Equalizer (36,000) (ADL/PER), and Manifest (55,000) are as competitive as can be expected. Nine slide into first in both primary (19.2%) & network (27.1%) shares.

NRL lifted Foxtel‘s offering also, averaging 487,000 across all platforms. This makes it the highest rating round 1 match for subscription TV (up 52% year-on-year), the highest rating Thursday game and the third highest rating game on STV.

Seven’s last night without the AFL for 8 months is begging for the games to start. Home and Away (494,000) lifts a little with three eps, and then Wife Swap Australia (262,000) delivers an average performance for its penultimate airing. Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking (172,000) doesn’t capture any hearts. Seven second in both primary (17.4%) & network (26.3%) shares.

The Project (,000 6:30pm; 361,000 7pm) underwhelms again for 10. What an interesting conundrum this program is for the network. Bondi Rescue (351,000) and Territory Cops (397,000) draw a meagre audience though it near doubles for Gogglebox Australia (554,000), almost wasted with no support. A Royal Fallout (276,000) hopefully sees the end of myriad analysis programs of that interview. 10 land third in both primary (14.1%) & network (21.4%) shares.

ABC’s Thursday is light and shade. 7:30 (513,000) and Back Roads (469,000) draw reasonable audiences, however Q&A (292,000) dips again. The audience really struggling to connect with it in the Thursday timeslot. Kurt Fearnley’s One Plus One (176,000) and The Aussie Inventions that Changed the World (151,000) complete night about as expected. ABC fourth in both primary (12%) & network (16.7%) shares.
