The 6pm News battle between Seven and Nine is where it gets most interesting (and, indeed, competitive)…
*** NOTE: NEW METRICS AND REPORTS ***
- Total TV Overnight Top 30 and Consolidated 7 Top 30 National Total TV reach is calculated using cumulative unique audiences watching 1 min of broadcast TV and 15 sec of BVOD.
- Total TV National audience is calculated using the audience average for the program as time-coded by the Network across 5CM and all regional markets nationally watching on broadcast TV and BVOD.
- BVOD national audience is calculated using the total number of minutes watched (including co-viewing) divided by the length of the program.
PRIMETIME ANALYSIS
The Block (1,075,000 avg) (lw 1.044m) on Nine the clear winner again, continuing its dominance over My Kitchen Rules (837,000 avg) (lw 705k) on Seven, and the few who tuned in for Deal or No Deal: Celebrity Edition (264,000 avg) (lw 572k) on Channel 10.

The Project (318,000 avg) (6:30pm-7:30pm) on 10.

The Hundred with Andy Lee (618,000 avg) (lw 535k) on Nine continues a solid lead for the network, with The Cheap Seats (416,000 avg) (lw 462k) on 10 its closest competitor and absolutely 10’s high point for the night. Made in Bondi (164,000 avg) (lw 149k) on Seven shouldn’t have bothered.
