At least two networks won! Hooray for everything!

Seven’s schedule ends up in a mess all over the place depending on what they delivered to your capital city. The late version of Home & Away (343,000 7pm; 316,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late (234,000 | 199,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER; 109,000 | 117,000 7mate MEL/ADL)) on Seven coupled with Seven’s AFL (427,000 (339,000 Seven MEL/ADL; 88,000 7mate BNE/SYD/PER)) on Seven means they won the primetime slot, but not with either program solo…so call it a win if you’d like. An edit of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations What A Weekend! (117,000 (86,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER; 31,000 7mate MEL/ADL)) draws a small audience. If nothing else it reinforces the importance of the AFL to Seven’s back half of the week.
Seven first in both primary (22%) and network (32.2%) rankings.

A Current Affair (587,000) offers the strongest showing of the night but isn’t enough to help Nine to the over all win. In part that’s because they rolled out repeats of RBT (389,000) and Emergency (307,000) in primetime (which did OK, but couldn’t compete with Seven’s scheduling mess). US dramas New Amsterdam (183,000) and The Equalizer (64,000) plug holes in the late night schedule.
Nine second in both primary (17.7%) and network (25.5%) rankings.

Again, 10 struggle with The Project (219,000 6:30pm; 334,000 7pm) up and down on the week’s average and the week before. MasterChef Australia (438,000) also slides a little on last week however slides in as the number one program on a single channel in primetime. US drama and Law & Order: SVU (193,000) along with repeats of The Cheap Seats (118,000) and Five Bedrooms (54,000) to run down the clock.
10 third in both primary (10.7%) and network (16.9%) rankings.

7:30 (375,000) and Foreign Correspondent (277,000) shrink significantly on last week. Mind you, so does Q+A (208,000) which was down 50k on last week’s small audience. Courtney Act’s One Plus One (121,000) and a repeat of Ithaka: A Fight To Free Julian Assange (29,000) flesh out the late night.
ABC fourth in both primary (9.7%) and network (15.6%) rankings.

A normal Thursday for SBS, with Scenic Coastal Walks With Kate Humble (125,000), How To Sleep Well With Michael Mosley (169,000), and the premiere of DI Ray (135,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (5.8%) and network (9.7%) rankings.
