There’s no question about it – 10 are in need of a major reset.
Nine again ride the winner’s wave, with A Current Affair (703,000) big at 7pm, and The Block (884,000) big in primetime, though this was the lowest room reveal this season. Under Investigation (293,000) dwarfed by the ABC’s offerings in the later slot, and the late night held Tom Daley: Illegal To Be Me (95,000) and Fortunate Son (25,000).
Nine first in both primary (23.7%) and network (30.5%) rankings.
Home & Away (469,000) still struggles to break 500k for Seven, and while the finale of Farmer Wants A Wife (523,000) does second best numbers for the season it was just pushed into third in the slot by the ABC. The rest of the night was filled with US drama in 9-1-1 (237,000) and S.W.A.T. (128,000), and tragedy in Heartbreak Island Australia (31,000).
Seven second in both primary (20.1%) and network (27%) rankings.
7:30 (530,000) and Australian Story (521,000) push in hard to land second in primetime for the ABC, as Four Corners (411,000) and Media Watch (406,000) also deliver better audiences. Planet America (258,000) leads off the later night, followed by repeats of Parkinson in Australia (109,000) and Q+A (DNR).
ABC third in primary (13.4%) and tied third in network (17.9%) rankings.
10 will be pleased that The Project (238,000 6:30pm; 355,000 7pm) is a little more buoyant, as was The Amazing Race Australia (331,000)…though nowhere near as competitive as the front half of the season. Have You Been Paying Attention? (540,000) lifts again on last week, and the late night is filled with Just for Laughs Australia (216,000) and a repeat of The Montreal Comedy Special (105,000).
10 fourth in primary (12.6%) and tied third in network (17.9%) rankings.
Celebrity Letters and Numbers (85,000) kicks off SBS’s night by getting pummelled, followed by Iceland with Alexander Armstrong (136,000) and a repeat of 24 Hours in Emergency (86,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (3.8%) and network (6.7%) rankings.
