The final non-reveal episode of The Block’s 22nd season was the top entertainment show of Wednesday with 1.085m, up from 1.05m the previous week.

Seven continued to be competitive in the time slot thanks to The 1% Club UK that even in repeat mode scored 779 though that was down from 808k.

The third week of The Celebrity Traitors UK got underway with 227k down from 240k while Hard Quiz was just outside the top 10 with 546k for ABC getting a good lead in from 7.30.

Later, A Taste For Murder on Seven was up 20k to 411k to stay just ahead of the inaugural season final of Chefs Ahoy that was up slightly to 391k. The show’s first season averaged 391k over four episodes.

Class Clowns continued on ABC dropping to 302k with Crime Night! that followed dropping off the top 30 table. Also making the top 30 was 9News Late with 233k.

In the 6pm news battleground, 1.29m watched Seven’s bulletin making it the top rated program of the day ahead of Nine News that was number two with 1,171m.

But in the earlier game show contest, the positions were reversed with Tipping Point drawing 729k for Nine and The Chase with 639k for Seven.

A Current Affair slipped to 984k but still won at 7pm against Home and Away with 903k and ABC News with 895k for a close contest. Millionaire Hot Seat made a rare appearance with 264k.

In the morning, Sunrise was well ahead of its breakfast TV rivals with 455k. Today had a mysterious surge to 408k for its highest rating of the year with News Breakfast on 223k.

Re: Today’s record post. Potentially a coding error as there was no entry for Today Early in the listings. The other entries for Today seemed normal. Today Extra got no boost.

There should be a Today-Early entry. See Sunrise:
