GOGGLEBOX AUSTRALIA gives 10’s primetime a necessary lift.
Channel 9
A Current Affair (456,000) leads for Nine, and then the night splits into NRL Thursday Night Football (455,000 (436,000 Nine BNE/SYD/MEL; 19,000 9Gem ADL/PER)) and Thursday Night Knock-Off (224,000 (224,000 Nine BNE/SYD/MEL; DNR 9Gem ADL/PER)); or RBT (111,000 (60,000 Nine ADL/PER; 51,000 9Gem BNE/SYD/MEL)), Paramedics (86,000 (42,000 Nine ADL/PER; 44,000 9Gem BNE/SYD/MEL)), and a repeat of Australia Behind Bars (87,000 (55,000 Nine ADL/PER; 32,000 9Gem BNE/SYD/MEL)) before coming back together for a repeat of A+E After Dark (80,000).

Channel 7
Home & Away (450,000 7pm; 375,000 7:30pm-8:30pm) comes very close to winning 7pm for Seven, and offers a solid performance in primetime.

The Montreal Comedy Festival (119,000) draws a bit of an audience, and pivots into a repeat of Would I Lie To You? Australia (64,000).
