Analysis
Nine News had a win in Sydney and Melbourne last night with a 5 capital city audience of 685 000 viewers. A Current Affair was #2 in its slot, but by only 2000 viewers at 593 000. The Block was #3 overall, but #1 non news at 726 000. The special presentation of Britney & Kevin: Family Feud was watched by 235 000 viewers landing at #19. A repeat of The Rise and Fall of Janet Jackson had 110 000.
Seven News was the #1 program of the night overall with 803 000 viewers. Home and Away had 457 000. Kitchen Nightmares Australia had 362 000, but Seven will be hoping for another strong performance in Total TV. Extreme Weddings Australia had just 125 000. With just 2 episodes remaining, will Seven pull the show from the line-up? Air Crash Investigations actually did well hanging onto almost all its lead in with 123 000 viewers.
The Real Love Boat Australia can say it beat Extreme Weddings Australia, securing 141 000 viewers. The Dog House Australia repeat did 231 000 at 7:30pm. My Life is Murder managed only 70 000 viewers which is a real shame, as its quite a good show.
ABC had 514 000 for 730, 528 000 for Hard Quiz, 381 000 for Question Everything, 272 000 for Summer Love and 188 000 for Would I Lie to You.
