#2

Just a couple of percent separated the three commercial networks on Wednesday night. Seven had the edge on 25.3%, 0.3% ahead of Nine with 10 on 23.0%. Nine was number one in the three east coast markets with Seven ahead in Adelaide and Perth. 10 ranked second in Melbourne and Adelaide and won the key demographic groups.

This was little changed from the previous Wednesday with MasterChef again the top entertainment show ahead of the mid season final of Hard Quiz that also made the top 10. At Home Alone Together did well with 466,000. The controversy surrounding A Current Affair didn’t translate into extra ratings. The Secrets She Keeps was up on last week to a season high with 419,000.

10 won the key demos thanks to MasterChef and The Project at 7pm that both won their timeslots. The Project ranked 6th in 25-54, ahead of Home and Away 7th and A Current Affair 8th. Next best was Paramedics in 9th and The Project 6.30 in 10th. Also in the mix The Secrets She Keeps was 14th, Doctor Doctor 15th and Britain’s Got Talent 18th.

Doctor Doctor finished its season on a low. With the drama having been renewed, Nine should put it back to post-8.30pm timeslot next year.
Hard Quiz and The Weekly were both up on last week.

I think they will. I believe the only reason they did this was to extend Lego Masters.

Ratings: Narrow Wednesday win for Seven
#5

Out of curiosity how does the weekly go in the demos?

#6

Weekly was 12th.

Includes per city ratings for breakfast TV and programs outside top 20.

Nine News Adelaide got a mention in the network’s ratings highlights for the first time.

#9

Seven’s 25-54s and 16-39s performance looks to have been saved somewhat by the animated sitcoms’ performances on 7mate and 7flix (4 of Top 5 in multi-channels in those metrics) last night?

#10

No that’s what Hamish and Andy are filling. Lego Masters still wouldn’t have been on Wednesday’s.

#11

Yeah that is true but I don’t think they would have moved Doctor Doctor if it hadn’t been for the pandemic. They were quick to stop new episodes at 8:30 Wednesday when lockdowns started in March.

Maybe there was something else they had planned for Wednesdays but are saving onto now.

#12

I would have run their Wednesday line-up on Tuesday and swapped Paramedics and Doctor, Doctor’s timeslots.

Footy Classified was brought forward to 8.50pm in Melbourne last night in a last minute change

#14

Was that on the main channel as well as 9Gem?

#15

Going by the ratings over the last few nights, major changes are needed at Seven News Sydney if they’re to become the market’s #1 6pm bulletin for an extended period of time (rather than just winning a couple of weeks here and there, as the case has been over the last few years)!

#16

Is this first time you’ve ever mentioned this? Sounds really original. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

No, Sorry. It was on 9Gem at 8.50pm then on Nine as originally scheduled at around 10.45pm
