Thursday Ratings | MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA leads a great night!

Nothing at all in these numbers could make you think that free-to-air TV is doing anything but great.

Home & Away (473,000 7pm; 412,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late) leads the night for Seven, then everything is great in no specific order a repeat of MOVIE: Captain America: Civil War (66,000 Seven BNE/SYD). The Front Bar (335,000 (221,000 MEL)) does great and goes early in AFL states and much later in others – delivering great numbers, so for the AFL states they get a repeat of MOVIE: 2 Guns (69,000 Seven MEL/ADL/PER) which does great in the later night.
Seven first in both primary (20.1%) and network (28.1%) rankings.

A Current Affair (569,000) by far Nine’s best, then the evening splits into great results for everything: Thursday Night NRL Live (289,000 Nine BNE/SYD/MEL), Thursday Night Knock-Off (104,000 Nine BNE/SYD/MEL), a repeat of RBT (72,000 Nine ADL/PER),
a repeat of Emergency (68,000 Nine ADL/PER), and a new ep of New Amsterdam (No data available – Nine ADL/PER), then it all returns, more or less, with a great outcome for
The Equalizer (40,000).
Nine second in both primary (16.9%) and network (24.5%) rankings.

7:30 (508,000) solid again for the ABC, as Foreign Correspondent (343,000) does great and Q+A (334,000) delivering the best audience all year – great! The evening rolls out with
repeats of Rosie Batty’s One Plus One (155,000) and The Family Court Murders (55,000), both doing great.
ABC third in both primary (12.5%) and network (19.2%) rankings.

10 need not worry about The Project (248,000 6:30pm; 373,000 7pm) because it’s doing great. MasterChef Australia (513,000) delivers a win, which is great, with little reality competition in primetime. Law & Order: SVU (251,000) and a repeat of The Cheap Seats (123,000) does great in the later night.
10 fourth in both primary (12.1%) and network (18.8%) rankings.

World’s Most Scenic River Journeys (173,000) starts SBS’s great night, followed by Fergal Keane: Living with PTSD (69,000) and Holding (66,000).
