Seven’s poor primary channel Wednesday only eclipsed by 10’s abysmal showing.
Channel 9
A big win for A Current Affair (561,000) again for Nine, with some continued reliability for Taronga: Who’s Who In The Zoo (388,000). This was followed by the FTA premiere of Clarkson’s Farm (285,000) which pulled a reasonable audience landing in second place in the slot, followed by Luxe Listings Sydney (117,000) and The Equalizer (47,000).
Nine first in primary (19.6%) and second in network (28.5%) rankings.
Channel 7
The 2023 finale of Home & Away (395,000 90 min special 7pm-8:30pm) brought home a reasonable second place for Seven in the timeslots, which all-but vanished as the night ran into a double ep of Big Brother (138,000; 97,000), and then The Amazing Race US (32,000).
Seven second in primary (17.9%) and first in network (29.1%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (448,000) and a repeat of Hard Quiz (423,000) delivered a solid win for the ABC in primetime, as did Question Everything (382,000) and Australian Epic (220,000) in the later slot. Planet America (191,000) pulled audiences through to the later portion of the night, followed by a repeat of QI (131,000) and new Adam Hills: The Last Leg (91,000).
ABC third in both primary (14.3%) and network (19.7%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (148,000 6:30pm; 228,000 7pm) dropped away on last night’s high, and delivered a first run comedy special Adam Hills: Grow Another Foot (148,000) that didn’t really pull a huge group of viewers. A repeat of Law & Order: SVU (118,000) was pushed in front of the start of the burning off of My Life Is Murder (88,000; 56,000), which was wedged in win with a double episode.
10 fourth in both primary (6.9%) and network (13.8%) rankings.
SBS
A night of solid drama and intrigue on SBS, that started with IKEA: How Do They Really Do It? (182,000), ran through Alone UK (60,000), and finished with another stunning ep of Fargo (54,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (4.6%) and network (8.9%) rankings.
