It’s like we all found something better to do all at once.
Channel 9
A Current Affair (591,000) continues to lead at 7pm for Nine, though like all weeknight/multi-ep shows the audience diminishes as the week progresses. RBT (460,000) takes the primetime win, followed by another slot-winning Paramedics (382,000). A repeat of Australia Behind Bars (203,000) and a new Emergency Call (73,000) close out the night.
Nine first in both primary (21.4%) and network (30.5%) rankings.
Channel 7
Home & Away (456,000 7pm; 402,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late)

Seven second in both primary (19.7%) and network (27.7%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (422,000) and Foreign Correspondent (337,000) slide into third in primetime for the ABC.

ABC third in both primary (12.7%) and network (18.7%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (159,000 6:30pm; 248,000 7pm) hangs on through the week for 10 however could be performing better. Taskmaster Australia (314,000) lifts on last week, which proves positive for next week when Gogglebox Australia starts. The Montreal Comedy Festival (132,000) follows, along with a repeat of Would I Lie To You? Australia (76,000), and then a double ep – new/repeat – of Law & Order: SVU (73,000; 48,000) finishes out the night to a small audience.
10 fourth in both primary (9%) and network (15.4%) rankings.
SBS
