Nine again start the night in a solid position with A Current Affair (620,000) that then all but evaporates as Beauty and the Geek Australia (409,000) slips into fourth spot, admittedly slightly up on Monday’s result (the TotalTV figures next week will be interesting). Botched (230,000), My Feet Are Killing Me (155,000), and Law & Order: Organized Crime (49,000) do little to retain interest into the later night.
Nine first in primary (17.7%) and tied first in network (25.8%) rankings.
Home & Away (444,000) starts Seven’s night post-News with the best numbers it will see, followed by primetime-third-placed ABBA vs Queen (414,000). A double ep of The Good Doctor (208,000; 185,000) and Autopsy USA (65,000) do little afterwards.
Seven second in primary (17.5%) and tied first in network (25.8%) rankings.
The Project (260,000 6:30pm; 410,000 7pm) seeing a small bump thanks to the success of Hunted Australia (569,000), which even though it slid just over 140k on Monday’s solid numbers it still landed the primetime win. The Cheap Seats (396,000) and takes the following slot too, equalling last week’s effort. The night rounds out with a double repeat of NCIS (126,000; 70,000).
10 third in both primary (14.1%) and network (20.6%) rankings.
7:30 (474,000) coupled with The ABC of Garry McDonald (444,000) delivers another primetime second place to the ABC. Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked (341,000) also draws a reasonable-ish audience, followed by repeats of River (96,000) and Four Corners (39,000).
ABC fourth in both primary (11.8%) and network (16.6%) rankings.
Who Do You Think You Are? Australia (237,000) leads SBS’s night, followed by Insight (151,000) and the Tour de France – Stage 16 (127,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (7.4%) and network (11.3%) rankings.
