Analysis
Seven
Seven News was #1 with wins in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Seven News at 6:30 was #2 with wins again in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Home and Away was #13 with 505 000 viewers and was #3 in its slot, but is expected to rise 20+% in Total TV. The launch of Australian Idol was #15 with 413 000 viewers. There is no way to sugar coat this result as anything else but disappointing. The promotion, the anticipation, the excellent judging panel, the format and the slick production values were not enough for a big launch. Seven will hope the series builds and has massive improvements in Total TV. Seven then showed the first two episodes of Below Deck Down Under as a preview for 7Bravo and 7plus with the first episode on 140 000 and the second on 100 000. Seven re ran the series Busted in Bangkok late night to 53 000 viewers.
Nine
Nine News was #5 with a win in Sydney. Nine News 6:30 was #4 with a win in Sydney as well. Ally Langdon hosted her first official night as the permanent host of A Current Affair and placed #7 with 639 000 viewers and sat behind ABC News by just 2000 viewers. Married at First Sight (MAFS) returned for a new season and nearly doubled its competition with 840 000 viewers and landing at #3. This, of course, is an excellent result for Nine and the network will be relieved they have overcome the Australian Idol wave. Nine then aired, Harry and Meghan: The Great Divide for #16 with 343 000 viewers and placed one ranking below the launch of Australian Idol. Nine News Late had 142 000 and then a repeat of The Equalizer had 69 000.

The Project 6:30pm was #29 with 170 000 viewers. That figure rose to 322 000 for The Project 7pm, which placed #19. Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villians launched with 447 000 viewers and beat Australian Idol, Many pundits predicted the show would get caught in the crossfire and be a distant third. 10 execs would be over the moon with this result, as Survivor is also likely to do well in Total TV. A new episode of FBI: Most Wanted had 166 000 viewers and then a repeat had 96 000.
Daniel Monaghan:
Senior Vice President Content and Programming, Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), Daniel Monaghan, said:
“Australians have spoken and they’re clearly picking a tribe with strong audience engagement for the highly anticipated return of Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains. We’re delighted with the first night results that achieved 610,000 national audience.
“Viewers love the stunning backdrop and idyllic island paradise of Samoa and are thrilled to see Jonathan LaPaglia back on our screens. This season sees heroic and villainous survivors return as well as a fresh crew of contenders ready to outwit, outplay and outlast in the battle to be the sole survivor.
“And there’s so much more to come as we find out who will be the winning tribe: Heroes or Villains?”
Rod Prosser:
Chief Sales Officer, Paramount ANZ, Rod Prosser, said:
“It’s a solid start to this season of Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains with its biggest live stream launch audience.
“Survivor fans are passionate and engaged and we’ve only just begun to see the audience appeal of this fan-favourite show.
“We’re thrilled to welcome back major sponsors who know the power of connecting with our loyal Survivor audience.
“Get ready to see engaging, clever and seamless integrations this season as we thread our clients and their brands into the narrative of the show that’s a win win for audiences and advertisers.”

Media Watch returned at #12 with 508 000. All eyes were on the ABC with the relocated Q+A back to Monday nights.
