An interesting mid-winter’s mid-week night indeed.
Home & Away (443,000) softer than usual for Seven, and even Big Brother Australia (319,000) slides to a smaller than usual figure. Unbelievable Moments Caught On Camera (141,000) and Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back (62,000) slide around in the evening because don’t forget that The Front Bar (277,000 (169,000 MEL)) plays earlier in AFL states!
Seven first in both primary (18.8%) and network (26.7%) rankings.
Nine suffer a rare Wednesday loss, though not because A Current Affair (577,000) has fallen to any new low – it’s still a clear non-News winner at 7pm. Perhaps the move to a repeat of the Logie-winning Travel Guides (438,000) has something to do with it, especially as it is followed with a night of repeats in MOVIE: Bad Moms (190,000) and Chicago Med (45,000). Footy Classified (73,000 MEL/ADL/PER) pops up in partnership with Dr Christian Jessen Will See You Now (TBA BNE/SYD) at the end of the night.
Nine second in both primary (17.8%) and network (26.2%) rankings.
The Project (268,000 6:30pm; 387,000 7pm) continues its rollercoaster run for 10, and yet MasterChef Australia (556,000) ticks up ever so slightly to easily take primetime. Five Bedrooms (267,000) also lifts though isn’t competitive in the later slot. A repeat of Bull (130,000), the finale of This Is Us (66,000) and the new timeslot for Good Sam (30,000) do what is expected of them.
10 third in both primary (14.3%) and network (20.8%) rankings.
ABC’s night down on last week across the board. 7:30 (484,000) does OK, and Gruen (501,000) takes a near 100k hit. The Weekly with Charlie Pickering (436,000) is the same, however You Can’t Ask That (236,000) has a slightly smaller drop. Repeats of Would I Lie To You? (173,000) and Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? (35,000) finish the evening.
ABC fourth in both primary (13.2%) and network (17.9%) rankings.
SBS deliver Tony Robinson: WWII by Drone (137,000), Why Buildings Collapse (152,000), and a repeat of New York Super Airport (60,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.7%) and network (8.5%) rankings.
