Nine first in both primary (23.8%) and network (37.3%) rankings.
Home & Away (445,000) maintained its average for Seven, as did Australia’s Got Talent (410,000) which drew a reasonable viewership however ended up third in primetime.

Another big current affairs night for the ABC. 7:30 (454,000) and Australian Story (407,000) solid (and second) in primetime, bouncing into a reasonable audience for Four Corners (338,000) and Media Watch (378,000). Planet America (224,000) slid into the later night ahead of a repeat of Australia’s Best Competition Competition (81,000).
ABC third in both primary (11.9%) and network (15.3%) rankings.
10 sees The Project (191,000 6:30pm; 298,000 7pm) lift marginally – this will be its biggest audience this week. The Traitors Australia (224,000) drops 1,000 viewers and yet is still slugged definitely into fourth place in the slot. The penultimate ep of Have You Been Paying Attention? (431,000) did good business for the network and remains its best performer for the week, even though it dropped over 130k on last week’s ep. Ghosts (177,000) and Road to the Melbourne Cup Carnival (54,000) fill out the later night.
10 fourth in both primary (9.8%) and network (14.9%) rankings.
Celebrity Letters and Numbers (78,000) continues to struggle in primetime for SBS, before flipping to Scotland’s Extreme Medics (85,000) and a repeat of 24 Hours in Emergency (93,000).
