THE BLOCK again the biggest thing in primetime.
Nine again with solid wins, starting with A Current Affair (641,000) and pivoting into The Block (703,000).
My Life As A Rolling Stone (258,000) does OK business after, before leaning on Inside the Mind of Michael Jackson (45,000) and Family Law (35,000) in the late night.
Nine first in both primary (23.2%) and network (31.1%) rankings.
Home & Away (443,000 7pm; 407,000 7:30-8pm Late) takes charge again at Seven, with ABBA: The Missing 40 Years (294,000) following up the rear. Season 34 premiere of The Amazing Race US (143,000) captures a few, and even less in the late night with The Chernobyl Disaster (81,000) and Chicago Fire (36,000).
Seven second in both primary (17.1%) and network (25.1%) rankings.
7:30 (475,000) and the return of new eps of Hard Quiz (543,000) pushed the ABC into a solid second place in primetime. Question Everything (401,000) premieres its second season down 30% on last year, though it will likely see a reasonable bump in Total TV.
Summer Love (217,000) led the charge into the later night, followed by Adam Hills: The Last Leg (148,000) and a repeat of Spicks and Specks (46,000).
ABC third in both primary (13.6%) and network (18.1%) rankings.
The Project (216,000 6:30pm; 352,000 7pm) sees the best 7pm half hour for 10 in a long time. The Amazing Race Australia (309,000) stays above 300k which, for now, is an achievement, while Shockwaves: The Bali Bombings (155,000) draws a small audience. A double repeat of Bull (82,000; 48,000) keeps fans only happy.
10 fourth in both primary (10.2%) and network (16.8%) rankings.
SBS open the night with the second ep of The Australian Wars (127,000), followed by 24 Hours in Emergency (112,000) and The Stranger (42,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.3%) and network (8.9%) rankings.
