Channel 9
A Current Affair (649,000) offers a big start to Nine, which is continued with the finale of Travel Guides (632,000). A repeat of MOVIE: Vacation (128,000) doesn’t keep too many engaged, and neither does a late night new episode of The Equalizer (48,000). Footy Classified (142,000 MEL/ADL/PER) pops up for a mid-week run earlier after Travel Guides to mix things up in some states.
Nine first in both primary (20.6%) and network (28.5%) rankings.
Channel 7
An up-and-down night for Seven, starting with their best in Home & Away (497,000), then dropping straight into their worst in Million Dollar Island Australia (273,000) now finding itself squarely in Blow Up Australia territory however the audience was the same as that from the second ep last night. The Front Bar (269,000) picks up (particularly in MEL), as a repeat of Crime Investigation Australia: Most Infamous (71,000) closes out the night.
Seven second in both primary (18.5%) and network (27.4%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (493,000) and Utopia (557,000) go hard for the ABC in the early night delivering good results…with Utopia doing massive business in the total TV figures – up 58% in a week! The season finale of The Weekly with Charlie Pickering (418,000) and In Limbo (167,000) follow on, with the audience slowing falling away through a new ep of QI (158,000), and repeats of Take 5 with Zan Rowe (77,000), and Ragdoll (DNR).
ABC third in both primary (12.5%) and network (18.6%) rankings.
Channel 10
A solid night for 10 with The Project (214,000 6:30pm; 313,000 7pm) doing well as the lead-in for MasterChef Australia (415,000), which continues its consistent run (though in this instance lands in third). The finale of North Shore (210,000) sweeps by, followed by the double ep premiere of So Help Me Todd (109,000 avg) and the finale of Fire Country (53,000).
10 fourth in both primary (10.8%) and network (17.6%) rankings.
