Daryl and Sonia are back to deliver a big new season of Seven’s dancing reality show once a week(!).
Channel 7
Dancing With The Stars (647,000) premieres for season 20(!) on Seven and takes a solid primetime win for the ‘roast chook’ network. 7News Spotlight (271,000) struggles by comparison and slips week-on-week. Born To Kill (84,000) and Autopsy USA (42,000) struggle to maintain the audience delivered from earlier in the night.
Seven first in primary (19.9%) and second in network (26.4%) rankings.
Channel 9
60 Minutes (582,000) swings for the fences and comes in second for Nine, as the pushed-back Parental Guidance (375,000) also slips week-on-week, yet leading in its later timeslot. A repeat of Australian Crime Stories (136,000) and a new ep of The First 48 (85,000) flesh out the schedule.
Nine second in primary (18.3%) and first in network (38.7%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Sunday Project (212,000 6:30pm; 258,000 7pm) enjoying the sun with its elevated position, and MasterChef Australia (431,000) continues in its consistency also for 10. A new ep of FBI (188,000) along with a repeat of NCIS: Hawaii (92,000) draw a smaller audience into the later night.
10 third in both primary (10.6%) and network (15.6%) rankings.
ABC
Grand Designs Revisited (401,000) and Silent Witness (291,000) offer a solid start for the ABC, though The Messenger (83,000) continues to struggle in finding its audience. Repeats of In Limbo (42,000) and Interview with the Vampire (DNR) close out the night.
ABC fourth in both primary (9.7%) and network (12.8%) rankings.
SBS
A quiet night on SBS, starting with The Mystery of the Nazca Lines (99,000), and leading into a repeat of Saving Venice (80,000) and a new ep of Patagonia (39,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (3.6%) and network (6.5%) rankings.
