Even with lockdowns in most major markets it’s clear the audience isn’t watching FTA TV.
AFL means the schedule is all over the place for Seven. BNE/SYD/PER got triple ep of Home and Away (537,000; 474,000 “late”) though this was also played on 7TWO in other markets at the usual time, and then a repeat of MOVIE: The Intern (197,000). The AFL ran earlier in PER, allowing for this schedule in primetime. MEL/ADL got Seven’s AFL: Thursday Night Football (485,000)–100k viewers down on last week–followed by AFL Post-Game (110,000).
Seven first in both primary (21.1%) and network (32.5%) rankings.
Nine’s night not much better. Everyone got A Current Affair (711,000). The country then split so that SYD/BNE got NRL Thursday Night Football (347,000)
and Thursday Night Knock-Off (116,000). For the rest (MEL/ADL/PER) there was repeats of RBT (163,000), Paramedics (140,000), and King’s Cross ER (121,000).
Nine second in both primary (18.5%) and network (27.3%) rankings.
The ABC line up with a solid ep of 7:30 (601,000), which is down on last night but up on the same time last week. Foreign Correspondent (394,000) slips a little, but it’s Q+A (325,000) they should be absolutely concerned about…David Speers helped it lift on last week’s numbers, though it is still performing poorly. Australia Debates (86,000) rounds out the night.
ABC third in primary (10.4%) and fourth in network (15.2%) rankings.
The Project (275,000 6:30pm; 403,000 7pm) down over 100k viewers on Wednesday. Thankfully MasterChef Australia (583,000) is able to slide in and lift 10’s woes a little. The Battle for Britney (219,000) and a repeat of Law & Order: SVU (95,000) don’t do much into the later evening.
10 fourth in primary (10.1%) and third in network (17.1%) rankings.
SBS starts with a repeat of Great Asian Railway Journeys (150,000)
then the (confusing) season five premiere The Good Fight (84,000),
all to make way for the Tour de France live (stage 6) (115,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.7%) and network (7.9%) rankings.
