Channel 7
Home & Away (337,000 (249,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER; 88,000 7TWO MEL/ADL)) starts slower for Seven because of the footy, so the night split into Seven’s AFL: Monday Night Football (465,000 (364,000 Seven MEL/ADL; 101,000 7mate BNE/SYD/PER)) OR new and repeat eps of Highway Patrol (153,000; 129,000 BNE/SYD/PER only),
and a repeat of MOVIE: 1917 (116,000 Seven BNE/SYD/PER) before coming back together with a repeat of How To Look Good Naked (57,000).
Seven first in both primary (24.3%) and network (34.6%) rankings.
Channel 9
A Current Affair (592,000) brings a smaller audience to the start for Nine, followed by a dependable Lego Masters Australia: Grand Masters (454,000).

The Project (181,000 6:30pm; 246,000 7pm) offers a slower start to 10 on a Monday, however I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! (409,000) maintains a reasonable audience as the season starts to wane. New and repeat eps of FBI: Most Wanted (154,000; 84,000) close out the late night.
10 fourth in both primary (10.3%) and network (16%) rankings.

Nine’s Afternoon News has become very competitive with Ten News First in recent months. It seems like the two are always within a few thousand viewers of each other in Total TV.
Hi Ian – the afternoon News is proving to be a unique battleground, and then the 5pm-6pm commercial offerings (The Chase Australia, Millionaire, 10 News First) is always a challenging timeslot.
