With The Bachelorette poised for a bumper finale tonight, TEN enjoyed another strong night on Wednesday, with its primary channel ahead of the pack.

That came at Nine’s expense, relegated to third overall.

Gruen hit the front from 8:30pm, overruns notwithstanding, partnering with the return of Rosehaven. TEN’s new Sisters drew good feedback on social media and settled for 624,000 across a double premiere in front of Nine’s excellent George Michael special and Seven’s Surveillance Oz Dashcam. Along with its Sophie Monk juggernaut, TEN’s new drama topped the demos.

New ABC comedy The Letdown scraped into the Top 20 with 397,000, ahead of some commercials in the same slot, a good start.

Seven News, The Chase and Home and Away won their slots.

  2. I was actually tossing up over whether or not i’d even watch “Sisters”, but we decided to give it a go at the very last minute… man, i really enjoyed it a lot more than i thought i would… very watchable with engaging characters… looking forward to seeing more

  3. I watched Sisters….mostly good….what happened to the lead sister….has happened quite a bit …world wide over the years…. 🙁 ….likes attract…

  6. Found Sisters a bit try hard.
    Was just OK and frankly pretty grating at times.
    Really wanted to like it – some great local actors involved and it should work but something’s missing.
    Hopefully may improve next week – really hope it’s not another long, drawn out double ep though.

  7. Thought Sisters was good but loved Rosehaven and The Letdown. With those three shows I have Wednesday sorted. Now Ex PM tonight. Great last six weeks of ratings period.

  8. I thought that George Michael Freedom would have rated better as everyone I know was watching it & my Facebook page is covered in people talking about it. Maybe they should have put it at 7.30.
