The ABC slides out of the hunt almost altogether.
Channel 7
Home & Away (428,000) takes the run-up responsibility for Seven as MKR (622,000) again takes the primetime win mid-week with (again) its best figures of the season. After that, a repeat of Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera (164,000) and Talking Finals (142,000) play swapsies before a repeat of Autopsy USA (38,000) closes out the night.
Seven first in both primary (23.6%) and network (32.6%) rankings.
Channel 9
Even thought A Current Affair (664,000) offers them the best possible lead-in The Block (526,000) continued its decline through the week that again sees it nudged into second place in primetime. The rest of the night is mixed due to the tennis and your version of the footy as the schedule mixes through Footy Classified (126,000 MEL/ADL/PER), Luxe Listings Sydney (190,000), Davis Cup (DNR), and The Equalizer (26,000) which eventually coalesce.
Nine second in both primary (19.3%) and network (27.4%) rankings.
ABC
The mid-week comedic push from the ABC offers consistency, starting with the 7:30 (397,000)/Hard Quiz (402,000) double, before pivoting into the less successful Mother and Son (282,000)/Starstruck (91,000) pairing. A repeat of Would I Lie To You? (94,000) then ran into Invictus Games Highlights: Dusseldorf (DNR) to close out the night.
ABC third in primary (11.1%) and fourth in network (16.1%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (184,000 6:30pm; 299,000 7pm) starts its weekly slide for 10 before Thank God You’re Here (463,000) finds fewer viewers than it deserves. The rest of the night rolls through Australian content including Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers (181,000) and Five Bedrooms (111,000), before US series So Help Me Todd (DNR) offered the lead-in to a repeat of FBI (DNR).
10 fourth in primary (10.4%) and third in network (16.8%) rankings.
SBS
Wednesdays prove to be quieter for SBS, starting with the season finale of Michael Mosley: Secrets of the Superagers (118,000) and then into repeats of Keeping Hope (44,000) and Wolf (DNR).
SBS fifth in both primary (3.2%) and network (7.1%) rankings.
KEY DEMOS
16-39: Thank God You’re Here (128,000) led MKR, Seven News 6pm, The Block, and Seven News 6:30pm.
18-49: Thank God You’re Here (203,000) beat MKR, The Block, and Seven News 6pm/6:30pm.
