Something something intro…because we’ve all heard it before…

Nine out of the blocks with another solid A Current Affair (722,000) on a Wednesday, as The Block (810,000) finishes its ratings slide for the week, though still locked in number one in the slot. Paramedics (472,000) does reasonable business, and then the audience split for either Kings Cross ER (125,000) or Footy Classified (161,000).
Nine first in both primary (21.8%) and network (29.3%) rankings.

Home and Away (604,000) still ticking over 600k is good business for Seven, and torture porn series SAS Australia (654,000) stays reasonable stable in second place in the slot. The penultimate ep of RFDS (417,000) season one does OK however really picks up in the Total TV rankings…is this new metric the saviour of Aussie drama? The Rookie (185,000) finishes out the night.
Seven second in both primary (21.2%) and network (28.3%) rankings.

The ABC benefit on Wednesday with the 7:30 (601,000)/Hard Quiz (601,000) pairing, delivering a competitive third in the slot. Question Everything (463,000) bounces up to its second best this season though still struggling to find an overnight audience, however it is picking up more viewers in the Total TV figures. The penultimate ep of Rosehaven (467,000) ticks up–this wonderful series will be missed–as Would I Lie To You? (48,000) and a repeat of Staged (119,000) complete Aunty’s schedule for the night.
ABC third in primary (12.9%) and fourth in network (17%) rankings.

The Project (251,000 6:30pm; 460,000 7pm) not having a great week for 10 – under 500k again at 7pm is bad fugu. Making It Australia (474,000) also premieres to less than acceptable numbers, with perhaps the network hoping the audience will warm to it on Thursday when it has clean air and a decent follow on? It’s such a shame as it is a delightful and very fun format; delivered well in this Aussie iteration. Three repeat eps of Bull (181,000; 138,000; 92,000) barely fill the void.
10 fourth in primary (10.9%) and third in network (17.4%) rankings.

Wednesday’s on SBS continue similarly: a repeat of Tony Robinson’s World By Rail (224,000), a repeat of Looking for Life on Mars (133,000), and then a new episode of War of the Worlds (82,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.7%) and network (8.1%) rankings.
