Nine’s decision to schedule Rugby Union on Sunday night instead of the usual Block reveal episode seems to have backfired. Not only was Monday’s delayed reveal episode the lowest rated of the season, last night’s delayed new week start produced the lowest rated Tuesday episode with the audience dropping to 1.028m down from the previous week’s 1.103m. Seven’s Tuesday, by contrast, did better this week thanks to the second episode of My Kitchen Rules that had 1.018m to be just 10k behind The Block. That was higher than Monday’s launch episode that had 956k and was well up on First Dates in the time slot last week that had 496k. The third episode of 10’s Sydney Harbour Cops slumped to 284k after lifting last week to 379k while ABC’s Foreign Correspondent at 8pm was down 40k to 458k. Off The Grid With Colin And Manu’s second season got underway with 497k tuning in. That compares to the inaugural season’s debut episode that had 486k. The Cheap Seats with Mel T hosting had 422k on par with last week while on ABC, The Tony Blair Story episode two dropped 45k to 304k. Nine’s split schedule featured the Freddy And The Eighth Grand Final Edition in NRL markets with 184k and Travel Guides in AFL territory with 213k Later, Topknotz - Wild On Water returned to 123k while over on Seven Ed Sheeran V Adele had 177k while 10 News Late was ahead of both with 186k. The day’s top program was Seven News that averaged 1.415m nationally with a 190k margin over Nine News at 6pm that had 1.225m. However, in typical fashion, Tipping Point had earlier scored 766k to beat The Chase at 5pm with 675k. 7pm’s top performer was Home and Away with 984 for a rare though narrow win over A Current Affair with 983k while ABC News had 883k. Nothing could beat Sunrise at breakfast, averaging 452k yesterday morning while Today managed 286k and News Breakfast improved to 241k. ---

Happy to eat my words that Seven should’ve given up on MKR. Looks like it’s become a competitive force again now that it’s not against MAFS. They’ve done a good job making the show palatable (to say the least) and the viewers are rewarding it. ---

To think 7flix really struggled during those COVID years on Sundays - Thursdays (outside of Modern Family and animations in key demos perhaps). But since regaining the NBC-U output and picking up several CBS titles, seem to now be doing significantly and consistently better. Namely L&O and CSI. I guess Ten and Nine’s loss. ---
