Channel 10’s Tuesday night has become a real winner*.
Channel 7
Seven see a good start with Home & Away (505,000) staying in its lane while cracking the 500k ceiling, however an out of place Better Homes and Gardens (322,000) struggles, pulling some-but-not-many to its temporarily displaced timeslot. The Rookie (196,000), The Rookie: Feds (121,000), and The Blacklist (38,000) deliver US dramas to those who were interested enough to stay up.
Seven ties first in primary (19.1%) and first in network (27.9%) rankings.
Channel 9
Nine take hold of the early part of the night with A Current Affair (633,000) as Parental Guidance (433,000) is pipped into second place by a meagre 1,000 viewers. Million Dollar Murders (170,000) catches but a sliver of the market, while Chicago Med (57,000) and See No Evil (56,000) keep PVRs humming for fans.
Nine ties first in primary (19.1%) and second in network (27.1%) rankings.
Channel 10
It’s all good news for 10 from 7pm honestly. The Project (196,000 6:30pm; 289,000 7pm) is continuing its improved back half, MasterChef Australia (434,000) is consistent in primetime through the week AND wins the primetime slot, and The Cheap Seats (379,000) has solidified itself as a Tuesday favourite, winning its timeslot. The Family Stallone (164,000) got the audience it deserved though it was a still a good taster, and then repeats of NCIS (77,000) and North Shore (38,000) draw in a few night owls.
10 third in both primary (12.8%) and network (19.2%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (421,000) and The ABC of Jack Thompson (321,000) start what has become a slower night for the ABC, before offering up Dolphins: Is Our Love Too Deep? (223,000) and The Homes that Built Australia (158,000). A repeat of Four Corners (34,000) runs into the late evening.
ABC fourth in both primary (11.6%) and network (16.3%) rankings.
SBS
A stronger offering from SBS opened with Who Do You Think You Are? Australia (210,000) and then dived into Insight (149,000) and Dateline (96,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (5.4%) and network (9.5%) rankings.
