Seven News had its ninth consecutive Monday with over 1.5m viewers and was 160k clear of Nine News that had 1.4m. ABC won the 7.30pm timeslot 7.30 (812k) and Australian Story at 8pm with 776k.

MasterChef was the top commercial show at 7.30 and had 714k, up 35k on last week’s 678k and Sunday’s 671k for the show’s best rating in four weeks.

Nine offered the 2-hour third and final episode of The Michael Jackson Story that had 562k, well down on the previous week’s The Floor GF that topped one million. On Seven, the sixth episode of Glenn & Mick’s Celebrity Intervention featuring Mick Fanning was down 40k to a season low 544k.

10 was also number one later in the night thanks to Have You Been Paying Attention? that was down 50k to 719k. The biggest competition came from ABC with Four Corners up 60k to 621k, Media Watch 576k (544k last week) and Planet America with 522k (510k).

Seven’s 9-1-1 lost 30k to 324k, a season low, while 100% Footy and Footy Classified started later than usual and missed the top 30 ranking. 10’s Late News incorporating the return of Sports Tonight as part of the bulletin made the top 30 with 245k to be down 20k week-on-week.

At 7pm A Current Affair was ahead with 1.055m of ABC News with 1.0m and Home and Away with 969k Millionaire Hot Seat on 10 had 362k.

At 5pm Tipping Point with 879k had its second highest rating of the year to stay 100k ahead of The Chase on 775k.

Breakfast TV saw Sunrise with 446k well clear of Today that had 322k to be ahead of News Breakfast on 241k.

I think the show is probably dead now. Unless they find a different timeslot for it next year.

Started very well at 790k and now by episode 6 it’s lost 246k. It could go below 500k for the last 2 episodes.

With the news yesterday that GMCI will delay its final episode until later in the year (and that we know that stronger episodes were shown first), it really feels like a burn-off attempt instead of a grand finale one.

JohnsonTV · May 26, 2026, 2:02am

Decent audience for Four Corners, even though most viewers had next to no idea what was this week’s topic until the episode started.

5 cities

Nine won Sydney, ABC was second
Seven won Melbourne, ABC was second
Nine won Brisbane by 10 and Adelaide by 0.2 with ABC 4th in Adelaide
Seven won Perth by 12, ABC was second.

It was the turn of Nine News to top one million last night though Seven News won Melbourne while the Perth bulletin outrated Brisbane’s.

An easy win for Tipping Point despite The Chase winning both Adelaide and Perth.

Sunrise was also an easy winner despite losing a couple of markets.

MasterChef was just ahead of HYBPA in the metros.

So apparently the ratings were split. Absolutely pointless.

spw68 · May 26, 2026, 6:39am

To be fair, Dave Hughes and Mick Fanning were probably always going to be weaker episodes.

Apple75 · May 26, 2026, 6:43am

Next is Jim Jefferies which would also be weak maybe weakest And I guess the first 3-4 episodes which rated well was probably their best guests

Andrew · May 26, 2026, 9:53am

If they promote it well enough during the 1% club, then it should go ok.

BJT2 · May 26, 2026, 11:02am

Seven News Melbourne are doing extremely well with an average lead in. Definitely seeing a switch over in this market again.

ekane · May 26, 2026, 11:03am

Consolidated its still pulling 700k. Not great for a monday 7:30pm. (On 7). But thats still a significant number if they can get those viewers to follow the show to a less competitive slot.
