It was a match draw between Socceroos and Japan that helped determine the winner last night.

While Seven led in primary channel share, 356,000 viewers on GO! pushed the multichannel to a 6% share and enough for Nine to take the night.

Meanwhile there were wins by Seven News, A Current Affair, The Block and Cold Feet.

Todd Sampson’s Bodyhack lost 102,000 to finish with 486,000 but did well with younger demos. It didn’t help that Life in Pieces tanked with just 271,000 -on those numbers it will be bumped urgently.

Man Up had a modest debut for ABC and a Rachel Griffiths episode of Who Do You Think You Are? was 364,000 for SBS.

Nine network won with 29.6% then Seven 29.4%, TEN 16.9%, ABC 16.1% and SBS 8.0%.

Seven News was #1 with 1.02m / 1.00m for Seven then The X Factor (838,000), Home and Away (734,000), The Chase (618,000 / 408,000), Cold Feet (612,000) and The Windsors (348,000 / 253,000).

The Block (953,000) was best for Nine then Nine News (910,000 / 900,000), A Current Affair (873,000), Unreal Estate (555,000), Hot Seat (486,000) and The Millionaire’s Holiday Club (295,000).

The Project (545,000 / 392,000) led for TEN. Todd Sampson’s Bodyhack was 485,000, TEN Eyewitness News was 437,000, Modern Family was 392,000, Life in Pieces failed at 271,000 and a MacGyver repeat was just 267,000.

ABC News (753,000), 7:30 (618,000), Catalyst (469,000), Man Up (369,000), Louis Theroux (265,000) and Pointless (238,000) comprised ABC’s night.

On SBS it was Who Do You Think You Are? (364,000), Insight (217,000), Dateline (188,000) and SBS World News (142,000).

Sunrise: 310,000

  1. A very healthy audience for the Socceroos, considering it was on a secondary channel. Definitely shows these games can rate. And it was live!
    If it was on Nine instead of 9Go! who knows what it would of rated.
    Can see Nine putting in a bid for the A-League when the rights come up for renewal. Although they have cricket, Saturday nights could be a great fit for them on their main channel, considering day/night one day games are on Fridays and Sundays.

  2. We were talking last night – how there’s no FTA news service at 10.30pm – we miss this. It was a great way to catch up on the days events…. even if they re-hash the days big stories – it would be cheap and we’d get our news grab [we’re getting family ready for dinner during 6pm news so miss it].

    2. No FTA news service at 10.30? What about Lateline on ABC, the late edition of SBS World News, The Project replays around 11.30.. and even a 24 hour news channel in ABC News 24! How much more late night news does one need on FTA..?

  4. I thought Cold Feet was brilliant. One of my all time favourite shows. When I hear a lack of choices it makes me realise how different we really are. I thought we were spoilt for choice last night. The soccer, Todd Sampson, Louis Theroux (again) New Modern Family and Insight.

  5. Re: Socceroos winning a healthy audience 350k viewers on a secondary FTA channel shows the growing attraction of big-time Aussie soccer to mainstreams TV networks – not just pay.

    2. The same fixture in the 2014 WC qualifiers drew about 100k more on an hour delay. Yes, aware that SBS is a primary channel. But its a primary channel that Go also pulls more viewers than too…..

  6. Watched The block and the switched the TV off at 8.45 due to lack of anything interesting to watch. Went to bed and watched Greys Anatomy on Plus 7 on the ipad.

  7. Ended up watching block, good game & man up, man up was ok but felt too gimmicky to really tackle the issue, all in all it was an abysmal night on TV, flicking the EPG to see whats what for the evening was just depressing, absolutely nothing of interest to watch, upside I got to bed early

    1. I hesitate to say this on a TV blog but you don’t *have* to watch television. Surely there are other things to do rather than force your self to sit thru the least boring program that you can find?

      1. kids asleep, tired, went to bed, 730-10pm is my downtime between work/kids/life etc, only other option would be to *gulp* talk, with my wife, *gulp*..that would never end well,

    1. Ten do alright on Tuesday nights when they have a new episode of NCIS. I hope the ratings on Tuesday nights continue to decline to reinforce their silly decision not to air new episodes of NCIS. There have been 3 episodes aired in the US and Australian viewers are missing out.

  10. People would have tuned into Ten expecting Survivor and immediately tuned out… Life in Pieces didn’t rate before so why would it now! And was Modern Family new last night? Didn’t know so didn’t bother and the ratings show many others didn’t either.

  11. If Life in Pieces didn’t work the first time….why would to suddenly work again a second time? Come on TEN. Why did they stop the Tuesday ep of Aus Survivor? To make it ‘last’ longer? If anyone should be annoyed, it’s Todd Sampson. A brilliant non-reality TV show is let down by a rubbish lead-in.
