Analysis
Nine was the clear winner in network, primary and demos last night.
Nine News kicked off the evening with a win in Sydney and a tie in Brisbane. A Current Affair won the 7pm battle in the capital cities with 635 000 viewers. The Block was the #1 entertainment show for the night with 750 000 viewers. My Life as a Rolling Stone played out to a late hour with Nine deciding to run the final two episodes back to back on 191 000.
Seven News was the #1 show for the evening with wins in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth and a tie in Brisbane. Home and Away had 493 000 viewers but usually rises substantially in Total TV. Seven scrapped plans for a second a second ABBA special and instead brought in repeats of Highway Patrol that did not do any better capturing 305 000 viewers fir the first episode and 280 00 for the second. Air Crash Investigations did only 190 000 viewers and The Amazing Race was on 85 000 viewers, hence why it was moved out of its 8:30 slot.
In a Paramount synergy, 10 and CBS in America debuted The Real Love Boat. A first time outing of 215 000 would be disappointing for 10. Results for the CBS version will be available tomorrow. With a low lead in My Life is Murder attracted only 138 000 viewers.
ABC had a bumper night with 730 on 504 000, Hard Quiz on 549 000 and Question Everything sitting on 415 000 viewers. Summer Love was on 226 000 viewers.
