A rare Friday that didn’t prominently feature sport saw Seven’s Better Homes And Gardens climb to the top of the prime time ratings averaging 589k for an 80k lift week-on-week and a season high.

That was ahead of ABC’s Gardening Australia that also posted an increase from 481k to 522k this week.

The lifestyle shows continued as Nine finally premiered Château DIY Australia at 7:30 PM to 381k while Love It Or List It Australia was on 10 averaging 274k. SBS’s Hotel Portofino series also premiered to 165k.

Later, Death Valley continued on ABC with 277k down from 284k for the last episode. There was a FTA premiere movie on Seven where Oppenheimer averaged just 158k over four hours up against Nine’s repeat movie The Accountant that had 299k.

10 offered up a Have You Been Paying Attention? encore that made the top 30 for only the second time this year with 191k. And it was the double episode season final of WWII With Tom Hanks that had 138k for SBS.

News topped the rankings with Seven News number one with 1.146m and Nine News number two with 1.075m both down week-on-week. Tipping Point’s Friday episode was down to 672k while The Chase had 572k.

A Current Affair was back this week with 706k but was beaten by ABC News with 811k.

Sunrise ended another winning week with 425k to make the top 10 as Today had 282k while News Breakfast settled for 239k.

No sports across the board, a first in quite a few months. With a few increases to the lifestyle shows.

Was a battle at 7.30pm lifestyle programs across the board - with Better Homes and Gardens on Seven winning. ABC’s Gardening Australia had an improvement too. Nine’s Chateau City and 10’s repeat of Love It or List It did okay. Even SBS’ Hotel Portfolio at 7.30 made an appearance in the top 30.

I think that goes to show it’s just not the right style of movie for CFTA in 2026 and yes the run time wouldn’t have helped. It was pretty much an ideal time to run it as well and had promos and lead-in from BH&G and Seven News.

The reach figures probably more telling. If plenty had at least tuned-in to 5min here and there, 15min or half an hour at a time, should’ve been way higher and certainly in front of The Accountant.

While the average isn’t the worst of the worst, it was 4 hours with ads, ran until 12:30am and only 40k off Nine’s movie, it’d still be considered very disappointing for Seven and NBC-U I’d imagine.

We’ll see if it picks up with on-demand viewing on 7Plus and encores on like 7mate or 7flix over coming weeks. I’d think Seven wouldn’t have gone out of their way to pay extra for it, would’ve been part of their licencing agreement and picked along with all the other content combined including Bravo.
