OVERNIGHT RATINGS

Analysis

Seven

Seven News was #2 with wins in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Seven News at 6:30 was #1 with wins in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Home and Away was #8 overall, but #3 in its slot with 492 000, but will have significant rises next week in Total TV. Australian Idol was #11 with 434 000. This number is disappointing, however, it did manage to increase its number from Monday and is now ahead of Australian Survivor. Quantum Leap made its debut on 7 – the first major prime time series under the new NBCU deal. The show was #22 with 216 000 viewers for episode 1 and #43 for episode 2 with 118 000. Seven will be looking at the Total TV results next week, as US dramas tend to do much better in delayed viewing. Late night viewing went to a repeat of Inside Belmarsh Prison with 51 000 watching.

Nine

Nine News was #5 with wins in Sydney and Brisbane. Nine News 6:30 was #4 with wins in Sydney and Brisbane as well. A Current Affair was #6 overall, but last night #1 in its slot with 660 000. Married at First Sight (MAFS) was the #1 non news show of the night (by far) with 796 000. This was a 44 000 viewer decline on its opening episode on Monday night, however, this still nearly doubles Australian Idol. Nine brought out the classic movie, The Castle and was rewarded with 323 000, beating its rivals. Nine News Late had a strong 189 000 and then a repeat of La Brea had 72 000 viewers,
