The Bachelor had another timeslot win for TEN drawing 899,000 last night, up on last Thursday’s 817,000 viewers.

Seven has cleverly drawn upon its multichannels on a low Thursday with 7TWO’s Lewis impressive 352,000 outranking Restaurant Revolution on the primary channel.

  1. David, do you think if 7 were to swap Restaurant Revolution and Lewis around would it change the figures at all? I think it would make RR even lower and Lewis would hold roughly steady.

  2. Not much love for The Honourable Woman. I’m sticking with it altho’ I’m not enthralled. Too much of it seems gimmicky and doesn’t ring true at all. I am enjoying Catastrophe tho’.

  3. The gap between 7 news and 9 news seems to be widening. I know 7 thinks that the lead in is the main cause of this but I wonder if they did something a bit different to 9 like, perhaps shortening their news back to 30 mins instead of these laborious 1 hour bulletins full of fluff and rubbish, if that would have more of an impact on ratings. I know it would get me to watch their news service again.

        1. Sydney and Brisbane too? And Wednesday night?

          I really think people are more interested in shows about the English property market from five years ago.

    1. In my opinion from watching Sevens Sydney news, their fluff pieces are done poorly which lowers the tone of the whole hour. I can see why they would want to move these to a Today Tonight format and perhaps lift their quality.
