Married At First Sight episode three saw almost 1.6m tune in, down slightly on Tuesday but up 100k on the equivalent episode of last season.

It was daylight to the closest competitor that was 7.30 on ABC with 790k while The 1% Club UK: Rollover season final had 675k which was on par with last week. I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here with 571k was, however, down from last week that had 716k. That was below Hard Quiz that improved 120k week-on-week for ABC to a season-high 630k.

Later, The Weekly With Charlie Pickering also improved, up 80k to 570k, also a season high.

Nine’s coverage of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina got underway with Let The Games Begin with 420k. That was a loss of over one million from the lead in and just below Highway Patrol that premiered its 14th season on Seven to 433k. A Dog Park encore on ABC had 303k with Operation Dark Phone: Murder By Text Series premiering later on Seven to just under 200k.

Seven News had a 50k win at 6pm after The Chase closed the gap to tipping Point at 5pm to 50k. A Current Affair stayed over one million for a 100k win over ABC News on 950k and Home and Away with 903k at 7pm. Millionaire Hot Seat dropped down to 305k on 10 after debuting to 481k on Monday. That was lower than Deal Or No Deal in the same timeslot the previous week that had 313k.

Meanwhile at breakfast Sunrise was 120k ahead of Today.

JohnsonTV · February 5, 2026, 12:48am

If last night’s ratings are an indication, Nine has its work cut out to entice more viewers to watch its Winter Olympics broadcast.

News727 · February 5, 2026, 12:51am

It’s certainly interesting to compare the lead-in or -out impacts of each program.

I’m starting to agree with some other posters, DOND 6pm, Hotseat 6:30, reality at 7pm.

The issue, the nights reality shows don’t air

News727 · February 5, 2026, 1:42am

@TV.Cynic How are we supposed to treat the Olympics ratings moving forward?

Every coding has a synopsis outlining who hosts and what will be covered - no problem with that. The problem is it’s scheduled on a network basis, not an AEDT basis.

So what Sydney and Melbourne viewers get in primetime is not at all what Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth viewers get. Adding to that, 9Gem is still scheduled in AEDT, so Perth gets 7 hours of “night” while Syd/Mel has 5, etc…

Until we have a solution, I think C7 will have to do.

ekane · February 5, 2026, 1:48am

C7 will have to do what?

News727 · February 5, 2026, 1:49am

No, “will have to do” is a phrase indicating accepting something as sufficient. C7 is short for Consolidated 7.

ekane · February 5, 2026, 2:02am

Looks like ch7 your referencing to yourself

TV.Cynic · February 5, 2026, 2:07am

We haven’t seen how 9 will code the results yet. Many times the codings don’t match what the TV schedule says. It is likely to be broken down in smaller components than are in the schedule. Night, Night 2, Late, Early etc.

Like we normally would? No different to the Aus Open we just had nor other Olympics, Winter Olympics and Commonwealth Games.

Outside aedt, you just have to apply the time of day mentally.

(e.g.) “Night” (~9pm) = 8pm 9Gem Qld, 8:30pm 9Gem Sa, 6pm 9Gem Wa. I’m assuming.

Unless they code the m/c news and reality overflow completely differently.

I recall Seven prior to Rio 2016 used to code one as “Fringe” I think it was, but also pre-m/c era (except 7HD for 2008).

News727 · February 5, 2026, 2:42am

Take Perth for example.

That one was clear from the get-go.

Not this one.

By the time the main channel joins the Olympics coverage, it won’t be Ally and James guiding through curling and ice hockey prelims, and then by midnight, etc… But that’s what the viewers will see on their EPG.

It’s going to mislead the viewer, the ratings, or might as well be both. That’s the precedent Nine is setting.

David · February 5, 2026, 2:51am

Millionaire Hot Seat. Oh dear. At what point does it become apparent it’s the network itself not the shows that’s the problem? 10 have a fantastic range of decent shows but people just don’t want to watch them for whatever reason.
