Sometimes public holiday long weekends do and don’t affect everything.
A Current Affair (688,000) by far Nine’s best after 7pm. Celebrity Apprentice Australia (423,000) does its best numbers all season, as Million Dollar Murders (243,000) lifts a little too. Then we get footy shows based on your state: Footy Classified (73,000) or 100% Footy (30,000)…the latter continuing to ask they question “Why bother?” other than fulfilling contractual obligations.
Nine first in both primary (18.4%) and network (26.5%) rankings.
Seven’s best after 7pm was again Home & Away (458,000), followed by Big Brother Australia (363,000) which continues to fluctuate between third and fourth on linear broadcast airing. A double ep of 9-1-1: Lone Star (189,000; 138,000) fleshed out the night for the few fans of the series.
Seven second in both primary (17.6%) and network (26%) rankings.
The Project (284,000 6:30pm; 430,000 7pm) lifts for 10, in no small part because of the secretive promo for “7:29:14” that offered up the trailer for their new reality series Hunted (hopefully the show is better than the promo). MasterChef Australia (577,000) wins decisively and is up on last week, though most eyes in primetime were on Have You Been Paying Attention? (631,000) again. The Montreal Comedy Festival (220,000) benefits in the later night for the strong lead-in, and a repeat of Arj Barker: We Need To Talk (76,000) claims a few eyeballs.
10 third in both primary (16.5%) and network (23.2%) rankings.
7:30 (503,000) and Australian Story (492,000) again land in a definitive second place in primetime, as do Four Corners (438,000) and Media Watch (364,000) as they both get a decent bump. India Now (137,000) slips again, and a repeat of Q+A (41,000) barely passes muster.
ABC fourth in both primary (12.5%) and network (17%) rankings.
A standard night for SBS, with Saving Lives at Sea (116,000), 24 Hours in Emergency (114,000), and 9/11: Ten Mistakes (74,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.1%) and network (7.3%) rankings.
