Later, A Taste For Murder saw Seven on top with 390k, down slightly from 398k while Chefs Ahoy that was in Spain this week was down 10k to 386k in another close contest.

Class Clowns’ third episode slipped further to 341k after debuting to 428k two weeks ago. Crime Night! that followed then had 255k while Boston Blue missed the top 30.

Meanwhile the third game of the Women’s ODI series on 7Mate had 51,000.

Seven News had a 90k win with the 6pm bulletin attracting 1.288m ahead of Nine News with 1.196m. Tipping Point’s Wednesday numbers were again good lifting above 800k as the margin to The Chase opened up to 180k.

Lowest in a while excluding the Thursday episodes?

Vidiot · October 15, 2026, 4:07am

I thought ABC News would get a much better bump last night with the final appearance of Alan Kohler.

But I guess if you didn’t know about it, or weren’t a regular ABC News viewer, it wasn’t going to have an impact.

yellow_sock · October 15, 2026, 4:43am

Poor 10. The Traitors UK seems to be low again. I assume it may pick up some viewers tonight - with no Block airing on Nine, perhaps, like last week.

Has this season of Hard Quiz on the ABC seem lower than previous seasons?

News727 · October 15, 2026, 6:20am

What explains this anomaly?

ekane · October 15, 2026, 7:18am

It picks up a lot of viewers before transmission that isn’t counted in overnights and consolidated, unfortunately for 10 the pre Wednesday viewers aren’t counted for shares

Sully · October 15, 2026, 8:17am

It’s been a memorable, perhaps ‘tide turning’ week for Seven, now flowed in nicely to the RLWC.
