Analysis

Seven News was #2 for the night with 880 000 viewers and had wins in all markets. Seven News at 6:30 was #1 overall with 889 000 viewers and almost had a clean sweep, but lost out in Sydney by just 1000 viewers. Home and Away had 465 000 viewers. Kitchen Nightmares Australia was on 469 000. A very compelling episode of Code 1: Minute by Minute had 252 000 at 8:30pm.Air Crash Investigations had 143 000. The Latest: Seven News was on 97 000 viewers.

Nine News was #4 overall for the night at 687 000, but that figure rose to 733 000 at 6:30pm. A Current Affair was second behind ABC News with 578 000. A repeat of Travel Guides had 416 000 viewers, running third in the slot behind ABC News/730 and Kitchen Nightmares. 60 Minutes had a Melissa Caddick special titled Show Me the Money and had 368 000 viewers. Nine replayed part one of Underbelly: The Vanishing Act to compliment the lead in for 136 000 viewers.

The Project at 6:30 had 195 000, but that audience grew to 301 000 at 7pm. A repeat of The Doghouse Australia had 293 000. The Real Love Boat Australia continues to struggle at 128 000 viewers but with 2 weeks remaining, it seems unlikely that 10 would follow the US and move the show to Paramount+. My Life is Murder suffered with that lead in with just 84 000 viewers.

ABC News was the strongest performer for the national broadcaster with 602 000 with 730 on 461 000. Hard Quiz had 520 000 and Question Everything 437 000.
