Nothing commercially, other than ACA, breaks the 500k mark.
Nine’s high point for Wednesday (as most nights) was A Current Affair (596,000), while Celebrity Apprentice Australia (415,000) slides into third in primetime. A repeat of Travel Guides (351,000) draws reasonable numbers, and then in the late evening it’s a mix of Travel Guides NZ (61,000) and Footy Classified (56,000 MEL/ADL/PER).
Nine first in both primary (19.4%) and network (28.4%) rankings.
Seven’s night peaked post-News with Home & Away (490,000), and then it was all downhill from there. Big Brother Australia (323,000) in a distant fourth, followed by small audiences tuning in for Britain’s Got Talent (176,000) and Outrageous Weddings (37,000).
Seven second in both primary (17%) and network (24.4%) rankings.
The ABC has a ripping night, starting with the strong pairing of 7:30 (565,000) and Hard Quiz (547,000) which leads primetime. Then the double of The Weekly with Charlie Pickering (526,000) and You Can’t Ask That (320,000) lead the 8:30pm slot too. Repeats of Would I Lie To You? (246,000) and Life (42,000) fill out the evening.
ABC third in primary (14.3%) and fourth in network (18.8%) rankings.
The Project (250,000 6:30pm; 384,000 7pm) lifts slightly on Tuesday’s results though the numbers are still low. MasterChef Australia (498,000) leads commercial primetime; second overall. The rest of the night is filled with first-run drama, from Aussie Five Bedrooms (233,000) to US dramas Bull (116,000) and This Is Us (54,000).
10 fourth in primary (11.8%) and third in network (19.3%) rankings.
Tony Robinson: WWII by Drone (172,000) kicks off SBS’s Wednesday, followed by part one of Thatcher & Reagan (167,000) and another episode of Cobra (53,000).
