Nine pulls in the primary channel win to boot. Channel 10…well, they are in all sorts of bother.
Channel 9
A Current Affair (635,000) led Nine’s night as its strongest, followed by a night of mixed results that started with a consistent week-on-week ep of David Attenborough’s Planet Earth III (385,000) and continued through ACS: The Investigators (298,000), Social Media Murders: Alice Ruggles (181,000), and Resident Alien (61,000).
Nine first in primary (19.9%) and second in network (28.5%) rankings.
Channel 7
A repeat of Border Security (428,000) led Seven’s night which peaked with a repeat of The 1% Club Australia (543,000) that landed the primetime slot win. The night then sank into a double ep of Big Brother Australia (135,000; 96,000) that didn’t retain much of that great lead-in.
Seven second in primary (19.2%) and first in network (29.6%) rankings.
ABC
7:30 (505,000) opened the ABC’s Monday before Australian Story (467,000) and Media Watch (458,000) wrapped their 2023 seasons. Repeats of Freddie Mercury: The Final Act (302,000), You Can’t Ask That (138,000), and Yakka: Australia At Work (36,000) filled the rest of the night.
ABC third in both primary (15.5%) and network (20.3%) rankings.
Channel 10
The Project (169,000 6:30pm; 211,000 7pm) sank on a night it usually sings for 10, as The Bachelors Australia (170,000) sank out of the top 20; not a great second episode number! The Secrets She Keeps (74,000) continued to struggle to draw an FTA audience, before a double repeat of FBI: Most Wanted (68,000; 63,000) finished things up.
10 fourth in both primary (7%) and network (14%) rankings.
SBS
SBS delivered Close Encounters with Levison Wood (51,000), followed by repeats of Riveted: The History of Jeans (87,000), and Christmas at the Tower of London (43,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (3%) and network (7.6%) rankings.
