Wednesday Ratings | HARD QUIZ and GRUEN surge; THE BACHELORETTE AUSTRALIA bottoms out

TL;DR – If it was on commercial TV last night, it struggled.

A Current Affair (660,000) soft but still a winner at 7pm, as Parental Guidance (517,000) slips to its lowest for Nine – second in primetime; first in the commercial race. Emergency (300,000) wins the later night, as Love Island Australia (145,000) falls to its lowest linear numbers this season.
Nine first in both primary (18.5%) and network (28%) rankings.

Home and Away (553,000) slides back into the mid-500s for Seven, though it’s the disappointment of the very expensive Big Brother Australia VIP (310,000) seeing it land in third in primetime that they can’t be happy with. America’s Got Talent (136,000) still fills a hole that nobody else seems to be looking into.
Seven second in both primary (16.7%) and network (26.4%) rankings.

The ABC land a big primetime win, thanks to the 7:30 (517,000)/Hard Quiz (647,000) double, with Gruen (577,000) sliding in strong behind it (even though that was its lowest numbers all season). Preppers (267,000) premiered softly, as a repeat of Back (126,000) and Adam Hills: The Last Leg (98,000) complete the evening.
ABC third in primary (13.6%) and fourth in network (17.8%) rankings.

The Project (238,000 6:30pm; 368,000 7pm) drops nearly 100k in a night on 10. Ouch. Mind you, The Bachelorette Australia (249,000) sank to its lowest figures of this season – even Total TV numbers can’t save it. Gogglebox Australia (503,000) suffers because of the move also, landing its lowest figures of the season (a trend for this evening). Lie With Me (149,000) and a repeat of Bull (78,000) were broadcast.
10 fourth in primary (12%) and third in network (19.4%) rankings.

Wednesday on SBS started with repeats of Michael Mosley’s Placebo Experiment (124,000) and Michael Palin in North Korea (141,000), and rounds out with Before We Die (UK) (68,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4%) and network (8.4%) rankings.
