The farmers are done, the balloons have burst…it’s time for Seven to bring on the dancing stars.
Channel 7
It’s all about love and ploughing on Farmer Wants A Wife finale part 2 (737,000) which delivers a solid and considerable primetime win to Seven, offering 7 News Spotlight (362,000) a lead-in boost for the win also. Born To Kill? (102,000) and Quantum Leap (42,000) are less successful to close out the night.
Seven first in both primary (24.1%) and network (32.4%) rankings.
Channel 9
Nine struggling to get The Summit (441,000) to ascend in the ratings, though anything above 400k appears to be acceptable in overnights these days. 60 Minutes (355,000) also slips into second place again. Australian Crime Stories (121,000) and The First 48 (71,000) offer a small, late-night lift.
Nine second in both primary (19.3%) and network (27.2%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Sunday Project (193,000 6:30pm; 305,000 7pm) opens well again for MasterChef Australia (492,000) which comes in second in primetime though distant. NCIS: Hawaii (190,000) and repeat of FBI (114,000) offer late-night fan service.
10 third in both primary (12.2%) and network (18.3%) rankings.
ABC
After Grand Designs (417,000) it was another slow Sunday for the ABC, with The Messenger (179,000) failing to draw much of an audience, while MOVIE: Suffragette (73,000) and a repeat of Interview with the Vampire (DNR) do even less. A premiere Bluey episode again delivers a massive 492,000 to Aunty’s multi-channel.
ABC fourth in both primary (9.7%) and network (14%) rankings.
SBS
A quiet night for SBS, starting with Lost Beasts: Secrets of the Killer Mega Shark (119,000) before turning to a repeat of Tutankhamun: The Last Exhibition (95,000) and then Patagonia (36,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.3%) and network (8.1%) rankings.
