For the second night in the row, Nine shows led the early evening but the network ultimately lost the night to Seven.

Seven Network landed ahead of its rival with 28.8% to Nine’s 27.0% and TEN’s 20.2%. ABC was 19.7% and SBS 4.2%.

Seven News was 1.37m for Seven followed by Revenge (1.31m), Today Tonight (1.15m), and in its new timeslot The Amazing Race Australia (971,000). Home and Away was fourth in its timeslot on 891,000. Body of Proof was 673,000 and Deal or No Deal was 643,000.

The Block underpinned Nine’s night with 1.54m as the #1 show. Both Nine News (1.37m) and ACA (1.23m) won their slot, aided by Hot Seat‘s “Block” episode (785,000) in which Brad and Lara won $50,000 for the Tourette’s Syndrome of Australia. They also took home $10k for themselves. In its new timeslot Tricky Business was 716,000, third in its slot. Only 354,000 stayed for CSI: Miami.

MasterChef held 1.15m for TEN. At least the network stayed ahead of the ABC this week. TEN News was 803,000, Last Man Standing was 691,000, NCIS was 644,000, The Project 6pm was 518,000, and The Finder was 418,000.

Australian Story was high with 1.1m viewers for ABC1 as was Four Corners on 1.04m. ABC News followed with 1.01m, then Media Watch‘s look at print media overhauls (810,000), 7:30 (aptly on 730,000) and Q & A (636,000).

Mythbusters was 203,000 for SBS ONE, Man vs Wild was 195,000, World News Australia was 171,000 and Letters and Numbers was 128,000.

  1. Good news.From next Monday You don’t have to suffer with the Bogans on the Block The Nerds on the Big Bang Theory are back.you can’t blame Yesterday’s Home and Away viewers who watched it as teens a quarter of a century ago that are now today’s Thirty Somethings almost for switching over even since those River Boys came along.Couple that with other Multi Channel US Sitcoms elsewhere and you don’t have to be a genius to see what most of us would watch.

  2. @Benji 77, yes it does. The main difference was an innovative show, whilst Last Man Standing is the same crap family sitcom made 20 years ago!

  3. A bit disappointed to see Home and Away doing badly lately. Although it’s a repetitive soap I would rather it topped the 7pm slot than the bogans on the Block or Masterchef. I’m really annoyed with the reality renaissance we are going through. I can already see the 2.5 million viewers for another reincarnation of Big Brother *shudder*

  4. Must admit i was expecting 1.5m for Revenge last night but it seems Nines Voice viewers headed to the ABC. Great to see Amazing Race on the rise though. Next week without The Block should be interesting.

  9. Whenever I flick over and Home and Away is on, it always has a river boy or a whiny teenage girl in the scene. No wonder people are not as interested any more.

  11. “David Leckie steps down as Seven West CEO. What’s going on”.
    David Leckie is not in the best of health, but fear not, he will still influence what happens at Seven.
