The Block recorded its highest Wednesday rating of this season and was up +30k from last week to 1.25m. The second episode of the new season of RFDS held onto all the audience from last week’s premiere to be the closest competition with 777k.

ABC’s Hard Quiz slipped below 600k but still made the top 10 while Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly picked up a few more viewers but could still only manage 252k for 10. The final episode of The People vs Robodebt had 164k for SBS.

Nine’s nostalgic look back at the Sydney 2000 Olympics did well to top 500k. Off The Grid With Colin And Manu was up 40k this week while House Of Wellness that followed managed 172k.

Mother And Son was down 30k for ABC while The Gilded Age made the top 30 reach rankings for 10.

Earlier, Nine News had another big win at 6pm with a margin of 76k to be the number one show of the day. At 5pm Tipping Point was 150k ahead of The Chase that slipped below 600k. That followed Nine’s Afternoon News pulling almost 100k ahead of Seven’s. A Deal Or No Deal repeat had 115k at 7pm with 10 News+ on 129k.

Sunrise had an easy win though the margin to Today was down to 76k.

That is woeful from 10. Only three shows inside the top 30.
News+ & the Deal Or No Deal repeats are killing them

One week on from my comparison table showing the two bulletins were locked in a tight race.

DST probably hurt 7 more.

BB cannot come soon enough.

Surely that can’t be right? Given it’s a repeat could it be a coding error or something with the earlier repeat?

Probably - often the earlier episode is listed as an “encore” rather than repeat, but 10 could have made a mistake.

Good result for RFDS. With The Block finishing in a couple of weeks, RFDS should be able to dominate the 7.30pm Wednesday timeslot for the rest of the season.

Despite a big win nationally and in the 5-city markets for Nine, Seven won Adelaide and Perth.

Nine News wins by over 150,000! By way of comparison Nine’s winning margin on this day in 2024 was 10,000. A remarkable change with Nine’s audience up almost 200,000 - how many of those are ex Project viewers? After posting its lowest Tuesday rating of the year yesterday, Seven News Sydney posts its lowest Wednesday rating since February.

Tipping Point pulls ahead in all markets except Perth where The Chase has a chance of winning the week. Huge margin in Brisbane.

Sunrise is just 2,000 ahead of Today with News Breakfast down on usual. Big Sydney win for Today while Sunrise ahead in Melbourne.

For something different on a Wednesday. Here are some multichannel program ratings. While OZTAM only lists the network, I think I have worked out which channel they are from subject to feedback. Note that 10’s multies numbers cover more than one episode.

Can’t they try US Wheel of Fortune or another game show - surely it’d rate similar or higher? Throw Judge Judy at 7pm?

Thanks for these. Some numbers there giving 10 a run for its money, however considering these are national, pretty sad how few are watching. If these were only metro like before, they’d be looking healthy but alas.

I know FTA has changed, but the investment in these channels is pretty dead.

Great to get some extra info (re the multi-channel lists).

7Mate doing wonders with their factual programming on Wednesday nights. Not often we get to see some numbers for the likes of 7Bravo and 9Life.

Not surprised that Seven and Nine list their shows separately (ep 1 & ep 2, TX1 etc), compared to 10 that averages out several shows.

Sunrise was really strong in Sydney for some time (I recall connecting on the “big” numbers), now that has reversed? Melbourne closer again, Brisbane not as strong. The audience seems fickle on the east coast.

Ben and Holly, PJ Masks and Paddington are on ABC Kids.
