Channel 9
A Current Affair (741,000) runs strong for Nine, as does the season finale of Married At First Sight (1,066,000).

Channel 7
After Home & Away (486,000) Seven checks out for the holidays. Highway Patrol (266,000; 243,000) draws a small audience that pushes it into a distant fourth in the slot, and a repeat of MOVIE: Crazy Rich Asians (131,000) barely scrapes viewers.

(465,000), which dropped on the previous night’s season premiere, however managed to retain second place in the slot. Would I Lie To You? Australia (258,000) continues to hold a loyal audience, while Ghosts (101,000) doesn’t really and a repeat of Best of the Sydney Comedy Festival (50,000) is basically placeholder.
