The commercial networks in all sorts of situations as shows aren’t firing and other shows (thankfully) end.
Channel 9
Nine’s best was A Current Affair (662,000) before the season two finale of My Mum, Your Dad (335,000) closes out an up and down season. Australian Crime Stories: The Investigators (240,000) premieres to reasonable numbers, followed by a similar result afterwards for Getting Away with Murder (120,000).
Nine first in primary (19.2%) and second in network (26.5%) rankings.
Channel 7
Home & Away (429,000 7pm; 365,000 7:30pm-8:30pm Late) helps Seven to third in the primetime hour, however Big Brother Australia (134,000) continues to struggle in its later slot but is picking up some extra viewers in catch-up. S.W.A.T. (71,000) and Chicago Fire (29,000) offered some first-run US drama as the schedule runs out.
Seven second in primary (17%) and first in network (28%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (526,000) and Australian Story (512,000) took primetime for the ABC easily. Evacuation (286,000) and Media Watch (328,000) played to smaller audiences however were still competitive, with Q+A (183,000) again struggling in the later night. This was followed by a repeat of Danny and the Human Zoo (DNR).
ABC third in both primary (14.4%) and network (19.5%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (187,000 6:30pm; 280,000 7pm) delivers its best for 10, up week-on-week, with Dessert Masters (449,000) again performing solidly and coming in a strong second in primetime. The Secret She Keeps (145,000) is struggling with its FTA run (after already having played out on Paramount+), while a double repeat of FBI: Most Wanted (97,000; 73,000) ran a small audience through to the close.
10 fourth in both primary (11.2%) and network (18.6%) rankings.
SBS
A night of repeats on SBS, starting with Inside Aldi (139,000), then running into 1967: Summer of Love (109,000), and Secrets of the Tower of London (47,000).
