While technically we are still in an official ratings survey, our three commercial networks have for the most-part already moved into summer programming mode.
It was a week when Seven could only deliver three nights worth of decent programming, a British Chef stunk up 10ās schedule, and Nine's CEO was forced to depart at a time when his company is blitzing the competition.
It was a week when record low audiences watched two iconic sporting events. An outgoing orange president and a blue cartoon dog delivered success for the ABC. And yes, 10 continues to have problems everywhere they look.
It was a week when Seven found life a lot tougher without the AFL. The ABC launched another successful comedy. And 10 continues to have problems everywhere they look.
The big premiere of the week was SAS Australia. After a lengthy publicity campaign, the Monday launch episode dominated its timeslot with a national audience of 1.194 mil (834k).
The big premiere this week was The Bachelorette. Featuring sister's Elly and Becky Miles, 10 was possibly hoping double the blondes might create double the interest; they failed miserably.
It was a week when The Bachelor limped to a conclusion, Plate Of Origin was given a lethal injection. And Sunrise reminded everyone why they have won every single day of the breakfast TV ratings for the past two years.
It was a week when Nine revealed its vision for the future at Upfronts, Seven found success with D-grade celebs dropping their dacks, and 10 finally found a way to wrap up the Masked Singer.
Karl and Ally won the week along the combined east coast capitals of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane with an average audience of 191,000 compared to Sunriseās 189,000.
