The Tracy Grimshaw farewell ACA and live ARIAs wasn’t enough to help Nine beat Seven.
Seven continue with their usual Home & Away (414,000 7pm; 375,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late) triple act – again their best – before a cricket-focused The Front Bar (248,000) does its best in Melbourne but poor everywhere else. Repeats of Kitchen Nightmares Australia (138,000) and Monster Mansion: Evil Behind Bars (44,000) add little value afterwards.
Seven first in both primary (18.1%) and network (26.4%) rankings.
Tracy Grimshaw’s final A Current Affair (554,000) did good late-week numbers for Nine, and while they should be applauded for going live with the 2022 ARIA Awards (243,000) it didn’t deliver them any serious ratings boost…hopefully the BVOD numbers lift it to support the idea of live TV in primetime. Ed Sheeran: Full Circle (156,000) follows on, before turning into Emergency Call (57,000) and Pure Genius (30,000).
Nine second in both primary (15.2%) and network (23.5%) rankings.
The World Cup joy rolls on for SBS, with Arctic Sinkholes (108,000) cooling things a little before the big game of FIFA World Cup 2022: SUI vs CMR (344,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (12%) and network (17.2%) rankings.
7:30 (408,000) and a repeat of You Can’t Ask That (227,000) led from the front for the ABC, followed by a Melbourne-based Q+A (201,000) that lifted on last week but didn’t light any fires. Repeats of Baby Surgeons (114,000), Stuff the British Stole (58,000), and Love on the Spectrum (27,000) fill out the night.
ABC fourth in primary (10.3%) and fifth in network (16.2%) rankings.
Again, for 10 The Project (163,000 6:30pm; 274,000 7pm) underperforms (and that’s saying something). Part 2 of Claremont: A Killer Among Us (314,000) manages to lift to be the Network’s best, followed by repeats of Law & Order: SVU (165,000) and Blue Bloods (92,000) that mark time in the late evening.
10 fifth in primary (10.2%) and fourth in network (16.7%) rankings.
