The Block did not face a lot of competition last night and secured a national audience of 1.103m, up slightly from the previous Tuesday’s episode that had 1.094m.

Seven’s schedule saw the final First Dates Australia episode of the season averaging 496k which was up 40k of a week earlier. The broadcast that was actually the sixth production episode capped off a fairly successful run for the show that saw the season average over 500k.

Meanwhile, on 10, the second episode of Sydney Harbour Cops saw a lift from the premiere episode, up 25k to 379k after debuting a week earlier to 352k. Over on ABC at 8pm, Foreign Correspondent had 492k to drop from 555k. Shaun Micallef’s Origin Odyssey season two final featuring Tony Armstrong had 230k for SBS.

A Grand Final Special of The Agenda Setters followed on Seven with a disappointing 290k. Nine ran a split schedule with Footy Classified in AFL territory scoring 214k and a Travel Guides repeat in NRL markets on 326k. That saw The Cheap Seats up 25k to 420k for 10.

ABC premiered The Tony Blair Story: Who Are You? to 345k while Insight on SBS had 204k. 10’s Late News just missed the top 30 with 186k while House Of Wellness had just 117k.

Seven News was 250k ahead at 6pm with 1.451m while Nine News had 1.203m. A Current Affair scored another win in the competitive 7pm slot with 1.045k to be ahead of Home and Away with 992k and ABC News with 938k. Earlier, Tipping Point had a 100k win at 5pm.

Sunrise surged to 480k – an eight-week Tuesday high and 200k ahead of Today that had 280k and News Breakfast that had 205k.

How do they indicate which is which? If not, then what is the Rating for the 8am Lingo & the 9am The Finish Line.??

Thank You!

14

Was this figure for the AFL version nationally or did the NRL version run in Sydney/Brisbane?

15

The Rugby League version is next week. As their Grand Final is the following week.

16

They are the afternoon number as also posted on a regular basis here:

The Finish Line Encore at 9am had 42,000 yesterday. Don’t know about Lingo.
