Nine News Saturday was #3 and did not record any wins in the 5 city metro markets. A Current Affair – Saturday was #8 with 412 000. 2022 FINA World Short Course Championships was #13 with 220 000.
Hungry could manage only 61 000 viewers for 10. The season final of Jamie’s One Pan Wonders had 87 000 viewers. The movie, Sherlock Holmes was on 88 000. The crime dramas have been rating higher, so with episodes still available, it was a wonder why 10 did not show fast tracked episodes of its US procedurals.
