Hello? Rush?! Are you even there still? HOW?!
Channel 7
Home & Away (502,000) benefits as the lead-in to the second semi-final of Dancing With The Stars (552,000) for Seven, who take a solid primetime and Monday win (a rarity these days for the network). US dramas 9-1-1: Lone Star (173,000) and The Blacklist (44,000) draw smaller audiences as the schedule trails out.
Seven first in both primary (21%) and network (29.7%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (222,000 6:30pm; 302,000 7pm) land what will be its best for the week for 10, followed by the season two premiere of Hunted Australia (524,000) which nearly unseated DWTS–securing a strong second in primetime. Have You Been Paying Attention? (516,000) is down nearly 100k on last week though the audience does fluctuate. Just For Laughs Australia (196,000) and a repeat of FBI: Most Wanted (89,000) fill out the late evening.
10 second in both primary (16.4%) and network (22.9%) rankings.
Channel 9
A Current Affair (679,000) again Nine’s best by a country mile, and then it’s all downhill. Rush (256,000) slips to its smallest audience this season and a very distant fourth in primetime, and pushed into third behind 10 in nightly shares(!). Police Rescue Australia (159,000) ends up struggling also, before the night split into 100% Footy (35,000 BNE/SYD) or Footy Classified (83,000 MEL/ADL/PER), with US sitcom Mr Mayor (46,000) barely keeping its head above the late night waters.
Nine third in both primary (15.6%) and network (22.2%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (541,000) and Back Roads (505,000) slip ever so neatly into third for the ABC in a packed primetime. Both Four Corners (467,000) and Media Watch (410,000) see a jump on last week, though Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle (158,000) is down week-on-week, as is China Tonight (50,000).
ABC fourth in both primary (13.5%) and network (17.2%) rankings.
SBS
No Le Tour means a quieter night on SBS, with Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes (95,000), The Great House Revival (88,000), and 24 Hours in Emergency (81,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (3.9%) and network (8%) rankings.
KEY DEMOS
16-39: Have You Been Paying Attention? (126,000) led Hunted Australia, Seven News 6pm/6:30pm, and Nine News 6pm.
