Aunty stands head and shoulders above the commercial networks who offer a fast-food diet of reality and repeats.

Home & Away (465,000) tops Seven’s night again, building slightly into Kitchen Nightmares Australia (469,000) which really hit its stride this week and lands second in primetime behind the ABC’s double. After that it was an invitation to more Code 1: Minute by Minute (252,000), a chance to check out more Air Crash Investigations (143,000) and another new episode of The Amazing Race (46,000).
Seven first in both primary (20.1%) and network (29.3%) rankings.

A mixed night for Nine. A Current Affair (578,000) continues to reliably own 7pm, and a repeat of Travel Guides (416,000). proves again to be an audience favourite as it draws a reasonable crowd for a re-run. Then the network shifted into a Show Me The Money – The Melissa Caddick Con (60 Minutes Special) (368,000) and a repeat of Underbelly: Vanishing Act (136,000) that took up the rest of the later night for a diminishing audience. A new ep of US drama Family Law (34,000) completed things in the late night.
Nine second in both primary (19%) and network (27.7%) rankings.

7:30 (461,000) and Hard Quiz (520,000) are an unbeatable combo for the ABC, again landing first in primetime. Question Everything (437,000) and Fisk (484,000) drop slightly on last week, though reinforce audiences are drawn to more great Aussie comedy. Repeats of Would I Lie To You? (266,000), The Witchfinder (88,000), and Inside the Sydney Opera House (DNR) fill out the later and late night.
ABC third in both primary (14.4%) and network (18.8%) rankings.

What a debacle. The Project (195,000 6:30pm; 301,000 7pm) is broadcast for a shrinking number of viewers, and then 10 expect a repeat of The Dog House Australia (293,000) to do far more than the whimper it delivers. The Real Love Boat Australia (128,000) dives to its smallest audience this season, pushing My Life Is Murder (84,000) even further from any first-run linear audience.
10 fourth in both primary (8.7%) and network (14.6%) rankings.

Charles: The New King (159,000) royally opens the night for SBS, developing into Stolen: Catching the Art Thieves (110,000) and more of the excellent Prime Video drama Nine Perfect Strangers (58,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.6%) and network (9.6%) rankings.
