Both Seven and Nine peak at 6pm and gradually reduce across prime time. ABC its from 7pm. 10 has to start building from 6pm to peak at 7.30pm. SBS fluctuates across the night.

Nine won the east coast with Seven back to winning Adelaide and Perth.

10 was second in key broadcast and Total TV demos. 10 wins Adelaide in the demos!

Seven News closed the gap at 6pm to 63,000.

The Chase has another bad day in Brisbane - just staying ahead of 10 News and at just 40% of the audience of Tipping Point.

Today wins the east coast with Sunrise 3rd in Melbourne for the 2nd consecutive day - Melbourne has Sunrise’s 2nd lowest audience. However, Today underperforms in Perth and Adelaide to see Sunrise win overall.

Ten News Melbourne looking bad.

So 7/9/ABC peaks when the news is on and then going down from there.

Using that logic, 10 has to…

the above “Brisbane” figures include the Gold Coast - ie. Chase is against the second half of TP and Nine Gold Coast news at 5:30pm which any local knows is an institution. Hence the weird difference in numbers compared to the other cities

No doubt TP is doing a fabulous job, but Seven’s new owners absolutely must bring back a local GC news to compete at 5:30 otherwise this gap will not change regardless of what show they are airing at 5-6pm. Ditching the local news (was this under de Ceglie?) was a big mistake

This time last year 10 News was showing signs of momentum but this year seems to be taking a step back. I think the lose of The Project and the launch of 10 News + might be having some sort to play.

There’s also zero promotion of the news service. It’s diabolical.

Home and Away did very well without Married at First Sight - with their three episodes easily making the top 10.

Am surprised that people still watch RBT on Nine. It’s more of a filler type of program these days.

I liked the added rundown table - of how each main channel is doing from 6pm until midnight-ish. Something different.
