A Current Affair (664,000) and The Block (782,000) kick off another winning night for Nine, as it then flips into a repeat of Travel Guides (312,000) which also does solid business in the later night. The Australia v Sri Lanka ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 (233,000) game collects a strong audience in the late night.
Nine first in both primary (26.5%) and network (35%) rankings.
Seven open their account with their best in Home & Away (441,000), before delivering a repeat of Dogs Behaving (very) Badly (322,000) that landed third in the primetime slot. US drama The Good Doctor (211,000) took the channel into the later night, before 10 Years Younger In 10 Days (93,000) and Chicago Fire (47,000) drew in late night audiences.
Seven second in both primary (16.2%) and network (23.4%) rankings.

ABC third in both primary (10.9%) and network (17.5%) rankings.
The Project (169,000 6:30pm; 261,000 7pm) slips into near oblivion for 10, and yet The Traitors Australia (259,000) lifts to its second best for the season. The Cheap Seats (318,000) slips the smallest amount to take the later slot, before it changes over to new and repeat eps of NCIS (155,000; 76,000).
10 fourth in both primary (10.1%) and network (16.4%) rankings.
