Thursdays are just plain messy.
Everything aired in all markets, in some cases on different channels. Home & Away (417,000 7pm (not ADL); 228,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER 87,000 7TWO MEL/ADL 7:30pm-8:30pm Late) suffers from being split across channels, and then the evening does similar:
MOVIE: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (95,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER; 39,000 7mate MEL/ADL) vs Seven’s AFL: Thursday Night Football (333,000 MEL/ADL; 89,000 BNE/SYD/PER) and AFL Post-Game (98,000 MEL/ADL).
Seven first in both primary (22.5%) and network (31.9%) rankings.
Everything aired in all markets, in some cases on different channels. A Current Affair (611,000) Nine’s best by a long shot, then Live: NRL Thursday Night Footy (256,000 Nine BNE/SYD) and Thursday Night Knock-Off (81,000 Nine BNE/SYD) vs RBT (132,000 Nine MEL/ADL/PER; 46,000 9Gem BNE/SYD), Emergency (120,000 Nine MEL/ADL/PER; 36,000 9Gem BNE/SYD), Casualty 24/7 (92,000 Nine MEL/ADL/PER), and a repeat of New Amsterdam (46,000).
Nine second in both primary (17.7%) and network (25%) rankings.
The Project (206,000 6:30pm; 302,000 7pm) continues to shrink through the week, and then First Dates Australia (337,000) pops up, lifting on last week. Gogglebox Australia (561,000) again the biggest thing in primetime, offering 10 a much needed boost. The res of the night is filled out with a repeat of Would I Lie To You? Australia (178,000) and new Blue Bloods (77,000).
10 third in both primary (12.7%) and network (18.6%) rankings.
The ABC suffers it’s usual Thursday dirge. 7:30 (460,000) up on last week but down across the week, while Foreign Correspondent (317,000) does its usual small numbers. Q+A (224,000) still criminally low, and down on last week. Rosie Batty’s One Plus One (106,000) suffers, as a repeat of A Dog’s World with Tony Armstrong (42,000) fills out the night.
ABC fourth in both primary (10.2%) and network (15.2%) rankings.
Thursday on SBS is pretty normal: Every Family Has A Secret (204,000), The Royals: Keeping The Crown (130,000), and a repeat or Stonehenge: The Lost Circle Revealed (105,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (5.4%) and network (9.3%) rankings.
