A meagre 1.024m viewers tuned in for The Race That No Longer Stops The Nation™…and still ended up in fourth for their primary channel.
Nine struggle a little with their first Tuesday with no episode of the Block in nearly two months yet still manage to take the night. A Current Affair (568,000) is their best, closely followed by a repeat of Travel Guides (437,000). All bets are off with a repeat of MOVIE: Vacation (199,000), and medical reality Skin (44,000) does little in the late night.
Nine first in both primary (17.7%) and network (30.7%) rankings.
Seven kick off with the usual story for Home & Away (455,000) and pivot into another ep of of Dogs Behaving (very) Badly (342,000). US drama The Good Doctor (208,000) does reasonably well on linear first run, though the audience shrinks into 10 Years Younger in 10 Days (127,000) and Chicago Fire (57,000).
Seven second in both primary (16.8%) and network (24.5%) rankings.
7:30 (459,000) offers a good start for the ABC, and paired with the premiere of Stuff the British Stole (444,000) won primetime. Magda’s Big National Health Check (413,000) also performed well on premiere, winning the slot. Repeats of Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge (163,000), People’s Republic of Mallacoota (61,000), and Four Corners (50,000) fill out the rest of the night.
ABC third in primary (13%) and fourth in network (17.9%) rankings.
The Project (271,000 6:30pm; 358,000 7pm) continues to lead 10’s night bouncing up with all the colour of the Cup, followed by a surprise lift for The Traitors Australia (309,000). The Cheap Seats (338,000) is a thankful high point however pushed into second, which then descends into new and repeat eps of NCIS (149,000; 105,000).
10 fourth in primary (12.2%) and third in network (19%) rankings.
SBS have a quiet-ish night, starting with Great Coastal Railway Journeys (134,000) and leading into Australia Uncovered: The Secret Business of Breeding Humans (139,000) and The Real Mo Farah (71,000).
