Thursday nights fast becoming the nation’s “let’s catch up on that show we missed” night.
Channel 9
After A Current Affair (584,000) Nine’s night of medical-themed programming runs through slot-winners RBT (427,000) and Emergency (315,000), when then dropped a little into a repeat of Big Miracles (127,000) and finished with US drama Chicago Med (57,000).
Nine first in both primary (20.5%) and network (28.8%) rankings.
Channel 7
A repeat of Border Security (384,000) takes over the 7pm slot for Seven, however Code 1: Minute by Minute (296,000) fares a lot better, and The Front Bar (286,000) places a partial hold of the later night audience. The FTA premiere of the second season of The Test (152,000) drew in cricket tragics, before another episode of US drama A Friend of the Family (36,000) closed out the schedule.
Seven second in both primary (18.9%) and network (28.7%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (411,000) and Bill Bailey’s Wild West Australia (403,000) ran a solid second place for the ABC. The rest of the night was given over to repeats of Grand Designs (227,000), Miriam Margolyes Almost Australian (136,000), and The Way We Wore (34,000).
ABC third in both primary (13.5%) and network (19.2%) rankings.

The Project (128,000 6:30pm; 217,000 7pm) hits its lowest for the week on 10, followed by a night of underperforming programs starting with Jamie’s 5 Ingredient Mediterranean (172,000) then into a double repeat of Law & Order: SVU (96,000; 111,000) before airing a repeat of the season finale of The Cheap Seats (DNR).
10 fourth in both primary (7.5%) and network (13.9%) rankings.
