Thanks to the late scheduling there is some muddle in the results, though no matter which way you slice it no one else was in the hunt.
The Block (1,086,000) delivers massive numbers for its penultimate episode, shaping well for next week’s auction. With the late schedule change to accommodate Bert Newton: Let Me Entertain You (749,000), the programs in place (60 Minutes – 803,000 and The First 48 – 334,000) don’t tell the full story…displayed here are the figures supplied by Nine for the adjusted programming, which includes 60 Minutes (319,000) starting at just after 10pm. A massive night for Nine as Bert helps make big ratings again.
Nine first in both primary (32.3%) and network (41.9%) rankings.
Seven’s best for the night was 7News Spotlight: Bubba Chump (355,000), even though it wasn’t in the hunt – third/fourth in the timeslot. Border Security (272,000) only ever a filler, and very few people tuned in for MOVIE: Bad Boys For Life 156,000).
Seven second in both primary (14.1%) and network (21.6%) rankings.
Restoration Australia (467,000) ticks up slightly on last week for the ABC, however Fires (304,000) slips by a similar margin. We Hunt Together (93,000) also slides.
ABC third in primary (11.2%) and fourth in network (14.8%) rankings.
10 start the night with another ratings failure from The Sunday Project (212,000 6:30pm; 305,000 7pm), however Celebrity MasterChef (421,000) does reasonably, though nearly 150k down on the same time last week. CSI: Vegas (203,000) and a repeat of FBI (113,000) don’t do anything to lift their chances.
10 fourth in primary (10.4%) and third in network (15.9%) rankings.
Inside Central Station (116,000) started the night down on last week though SBS’s best by far, followed by the finale of Australia Uncovered: Incarceration Nation (31,000) and a repeat of Marry Me, Marry My Family (31,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (2.9%) and network (5.9%) rankings.
